Big Red Rejection Sticker!

Can you believe it? She is posting yet again. I have so much to tell and so little time. Let's start with my computer. You know the one I dropped off the cubbies, It was sent away to "fixed". My TST was hoping he could word the fix it ticket so that it did not come back with a big red sticker that says reject on it. My thought was Yes! I would love for it to come back with a red sticker that had REJECT written on it. What a great blogg entree that would make. At last, it did not come true. They ( the powers that fix the unbelievably broken) Fixed my computer. So they say. I got to use it at work and actually check the 25 emails I got over the last 2 weeks. Boy am I behind in some of the stuff I have to do for work. OPPS! That actually leaves me time to do fun things at home like blogging. Is that really a word or am I just making things up?
Well, As some of you know we (Sean and I) have been looking for a house. He has gotten permission to work from home and move to Richmond. (From DC) AND keep the NoVA salary!! He will start March 17. That means he needs to a place to live. My house, the one I am renting, is just too small. It can not fit us. (My kids have way too much stuff!) SO, house hunting has been filling the last month or more. Every weekend, all weekend. I finally got mad and upset Sat. Just pissed we could not seem to find anything that would really fit. A lot of houses look good on paper then you go see them and you realize that are not all that. I want it all. We ahd been looking in the westend as well as the southside. I really like Mr. R and Mrs. A's neighborhood. We even looked at a few houses in there. But, nothing seemed to fit just right. So this brings me back to my break down. I was upset thinking we will never find something. If I was honest with myself, I was really upset b/c we were not going to find anything in the westend. I love the westend. I grew up in the westend. Ok not really, I learned to drive in the Westend. That is where my parents are, that is where my church is, and that is where I live now. I know these roads. I know how to get to places. That was one reason I liked R&A's neighborhood. I know how to get to it and things near by. (my biggest fear is to be lost) So here I am making the most wonderful person in the world feel so bad b/c I realize I am going to be in a new place with no friends and no idea how to get anywhere. (Yes for once in my life I was being dramatic.) So we went out Sun to one last open house in the westend and the rest of the houses we were going to look at was in Chesterfield. This open house on Snowgoose. Was awesome! I feel in love with it. It was the perfect size, a great price, and it had windows! I looked at Sean and wondered what was he thinking? He turned around and said, " ilove this place!" that wa it for me, I told him I wanted that house. "well, then let's go do the paperwork!" was his response. Holly crap! I told him I wanted a house and he gets it for me?! WOW! Ok, it is not just for me. AND he did love the house. He knew he wanted it too. So we put a contract on the house!
OMG! I moving! And soon. I am staying in the westend of town. Sorry R&A! I will just have to cross the river and see you! I have no problem doing that. I know the way!

Shirley top

In case you are not familiar with kids logic, that is a Shirley temple drink. We went out to dinner and as a treat I let the kids get a Shirley Temple. Ms. G kept calling it a Shirley Top. And yes she has seen the movie "Curly Top". I love my kids they say the cutest things even when they try to spell things they are afraid to say. For example the same little one today try to say she saw someone getting dress. She said "I saw his b-u-t." Isn't innocence wonderful. I hate to tell her she will see a lot of butts in this world. Some will be just people making themselves a butt.
So I will not be able to do all the updating of my life I need to do. I have destroyed my laptop. (oh, yes TST M, laugh at my pain and try to give me a typewriter I just dare you!) I wish I had taken a picture of it after it fell off the cubies at school. As it turns out they do not make my model anymore. So, I am going to get an "older model". I am not sure what that means but my TST tried to tease me that I was going to get a typewriter.
You laugh now but I will tell you it was a sheer panic when I realized my report cards were due Monday and the comments were on the computer. So I headed down to the local Apple store and got a new mini Mac. (thanks S! LOVE IT!) They were very nice and retieved my hard drive off the laptop and put it on the new computer. Great now I have everything. The only problem was It can not read word documents on it. F*&$! so I ended up retyping them using my laptop and a TV. It worked for about an hour or two. Just long enough for me to finish! All is well that ends well.
no pictures this time, I need to get back to work on the hat I am trying to knit. It is my first hat. Hats for some reason intimidate me. I have had to start over 2 times now due to stupidity on my part. I will post a picture if I can get it to look pretty.
