Today my belief that there is good in this world still is renewed.
A lovely random lady on a message board I visit offered to send me something I’d been wanting for a very long time, for free! Free, can you believe it? What could possibly be nicer then an unexpected email [...]

street of something
http://www.moba.com/showsandtours.asp
Here is the information on “Street of Dreams” – it’s a local house show basically. You pay $10 each to get in and then you get to tour 12 houses and look at what the builders have done.
They could have called it one of many other names:

First Haircut
Title says it all. I couldn’t stand Cora’s hair for another second today so I called and got her a haircut appointment. The place does a “first haircut” package with a before and after picture and a lock of hair in a frame to take home. They charge way too much for [...]

August
August is turning out to be the most expensive, busiest month we’ve had in a long time. And that doesn’t even include the house renovation we are starting in August!!
So far:
*2 weddings
*1 baby shower
*1 trip to Portland
That doesn’t sound like much but it’s a lot for us for one month. Plus closing on [...]

we’re all dizzy over here
Kelly and I are dizzy because we have been fixing up our house, trying to sell it. It went on the market yesterday. So far no calls. I know it’s early, whatever. I just want the thing to sell. Why? Because we already have an offer accepted on another [...]

screeching & big girl bed (not related)
Cora has taken to screeching. A terrible, high pitched, piercing scream that just about makes you want to crawl out of your skin. You, not me. It doesn’t bother me in the least (ha!). I’m trying to pretend it doesn’t bother me so that she will see it gets no results [...]
