Hello again, blogfans!
About a week and a half after listing with a new agent, I got an offer on my house that looks very promising! This is the third time I've gotten an offer, so if I don't sound totally convinced yet, it's because we've been down this road twice before with no closure! Please pray that this will be the one and I can FINALLY consolidate things and stop paying two sets of bills!
MDB and I have taken a little trip for our anniversary back to the B&B where we honeymooned. We LOVE this place! It's so peaceful and clean, and the views around here are just awesome. Not only that, but MDB's favorite shopping Mecca of all time is not far away, so we get to kill two aviary inhabitants with one terrestrial projectile and shop there while we're at it! Woo-hoo!
Actually, this year, it came in really handy. I've managed to put on a few pounds since our nuptials and I can hardly squeeze into some of the stuff I was wearing with ease not that long ago, so I had to buy a few new things myself.......
Time to go on a big time diet AGAIN!!!!!
Yesterday wasn't the day. We finished the day by driving into Austin and meeting up with MDB's son; CDM1. We were going to eat at the world's best pizza place, "Brick Oven Pizza," but apparently it was "founder's day" or something and BOP was closed!!! So, we went to Conan's and ate the 2nd best pizza in the world!
Conan's reminds me of why I never liked Austin! Everyone working there is just WEIRD!!! Well, maybe they're not so weird in today's social scene, but in MY day and my social circle, they're just WEIRD!!!! Back in the pet shop days (another subject for another blog; the days when the ex and I owned a pet shop), we'd have called them "snake people." You could always tell a snake owner from a general pet person, the sort who owns a frog, a fish, a dog, or some other "normal" animal; snake people were tatooed anyplace a tatoo could be applied and pierced wherever they were tatooed! The delievery guy who came in before the pizza was ready had blond dreads that were up in a pony tail along with lip, eyebrow, nose, ear, and only God-knows what else pierced. Everyone behind the counter was the same, except for delievery guy #2. He came in about half-way through the first pizza and, from all appearances, was not a "snake person" for lack of a better term. Anyway, it seems that "odd" is the norm in Austin and normal is odd there. It's the liberal capital of Texas and I don't think it's any accident that odd and liberal go together there. THAT's another subject for another blog, to be sure!
Anyway, today we're going to the caverns and the glass factory, then back to the B&B! It's going to be awesome!!!
