It’s Christmas! We’re All in Misery
First of all, how much do I love my husband? In order to give him the best Christmas ever, I have driven all over town today in search of the ONE thing he says he wants, but I’m pretty sure doesn’t exist. At least, I was sure it didn’t exist until I finally found it. Store associates all over Fort Worth thought I was crazy. They swore to me that the present for which I was valiantly searching was but a figment of my imagination. I sure fooled them, though. I found it, and now the holiday season can commence.
In other news, we got an offer on our house (which is not on the market. I may have mentioned this before in a similar bitter tirade). Buyer’s market. Uh huh. Right. Be careful what you wish for, and all that. So were basically homeless. We have a contract on our house and no place to live when the deal goes through. Logically, I know everything will be fine, and we’ll end up in a fantastic place, but it’s still a little scary. Oh well. In the words of the great Scarlett O’Hara, I’ll think about it tomorrow. Or maybe the day after. Or next week.

OK. We got an offer on our house. We dont’t HAVE to take it. We could say, “thanks but no thanks.”
We do not have a contract. Period. We are not homeless. Period. We won’t be homeless. Period.
Offer is just that – an offer. No big deal and certainly nothing to get excited over until we have a contract. (And even that’s not too exciting. The check—now that’s exciting!)

Ok, but even you admit that we’d have to be crazy not to take the offer. Don’t go telling me one thing and then getting all hot and bothered because I post what you tell me.

I don’t like that I like them, but that’s rolling luggage the way it is. I understand their usefulness. love Often, a formalised exercise helps me to digital camera crack a block of some kind, and often affords giftologies a new way to see something. It’s a way survival kit of playing with the process of creation birthday – if one lets it serve that purpose. Another golf gift example: a lot of modern composers who stereo system use Finale or similar programs to score man their music, either on the fly or by means online.
