Update on our House-Hunting Adventure

Um, we've been house-hunting. A few Saturdays ago we visited a possible home to purchase. It had been built in 1920---four bedroom, two bathrooms, 14 acres,etc... It was a lovely home with hardwood floors that I would have slid on with my socks while alone at home..lol. But, they quite ruined the house by putting some siding on it. Normally, I don't mind the siding on homes. Many homes look good in it. But it sort of demolished the authenticity of what the inside of the house looked like. While you were indoors, it looked antique and quaint. However, the exterior didn't match the interior. Our real estate agent didn't know much about the place, and I do believe that we frightened her too much with our boldness. First of all, the house had an attic and I was dead-set on seeing it. So as soon as the caretaker turned on the lighting on the stairway for me, I zoomed up the stairs into the vast darkness of the attic. The realtor kept telling me to be careful, go slowly, and that I should wait for my husband. I told her that I'd be fine. She hesitated halfway up the stairs and then retreated back, unwilling to reach the top. As soon as she saw Leigh headed towards the attic (minutes later), she told him that I didn't listen to her to wait. Leigh replied...she never does...lol.

When we were touring the laundry room, Leigh found a hole in the floorboards. It led to a cellar, which no one knew of. Leigh went down the steep stairway to find that there were tons of canned preserves dating back to who knows what year! It was pretty funny to see the realtor's face when she asked where my husband was, and I pointed towards the bottom of the house. Her eyebrows were raised in shock. I do believe the way that she was carrying on that we were daredevils.

A Classic Song by Don Williams

Okay, I've forced myself to make time to blog. Life's been a bit overwhelming for the past few months since work takes up about 90% of my time, especially now that we are tutoring after school. However, I decided to take a breather for a few mins before I have to start dinner, grade papers, and organize myself before tomorrow. I heard this song on the way home, and since I've always loved it, I'm posting it here. Here's Don Williams singing "I Believe in You" on the Hee-Haw Show:

Workshop

On Monday of this week we had a workshop in Corpus Christi. It was nice being at the Radisson hotel RIGHT BY THE BEACH!!!! We dined at a restaurant overlooking the water, and one of my colleagues swore that she saw a whale. (It ended up being a very playful dolphin.) We went outdoors to enjoy the sun and surf for a bit until our lunch break ended (which was much too soon!) However, it was beautiful and calming scenery. And it wouldn't have hurt so much had we been one of the tourists enjoying their free time on a quiet beach with just a few beachgoers. How I longed to have a thick novel in my hands, reading to my heart's content by the water.

Livin' On The Edgeeeeeeeeee

This week has been topsy-turvy. It feels as if the workloads are getting heavier and heavier and there's no light at the end of the tunnel. So I decided to place all of it on the back burner for right now 'cause I needed some downtime. Some time to breathe...ahhhhhhh. Blogging and Aerosmith's music always gets me back on track. So I frantically looked for my jams, and here's one of my fave songs.....yeeehawwwww!

January 4th-Spring Cleaning Sunday

Day of Reality struck this morning----I've got to return back to work tomorrow. Noooo! I spent most of my holidays with the flu,etc. Today was the second day (of the sixteen day holiday) that I felt actually good, so I feel as though I didn't do enough on my vacation. However, today I did some spring cleaning. I attacked part of the bedroom since I'm so into my Feng Shui book and it states that clutter is a major No-No. The bedroom is looking better now.

Also, according to Feng Shui, there shouldn't be a television or computers in the bedroom since it emits electromagnetic energies. If one must have a personal computer in the bedroom, a plant situated nearby helps offset this situation. As far as a television, one can keep it in the bedroom, but it should not remain on while the inhabitants are asleep due to possible negative messages emitted through programs. If a t.v. set has to be in the bedroom, then covering it with a scarf when it is not in use is recommended.

January 3rd

Last night was a rough one for me since after a nice day out, I got ill and didn't get to bed until after 1:30 a.m. since I had a 24 hour bug. It was awful, but fortunately I slept till 9:30 a.m. .

This morning Leigh spoke his family on the phone. He rang his Grandparents, Uncle, and Mum. And fortunately everyone was doing well. I know how much he misses everyone, and hopefully we'll be able to go over to travel to England soon for a visit.

Later in the day, my sis Linda came over to visit, and we exchanged Christmas gifts. Rocco was overjoyed with his gift....a duck that quacks..hehe. Leigh got a lovely bottle of cologne, and I got a sewing box to hold all of my sewing notions in them instead of having them hodgepodge and misplacing them. Plus, I got the new Rachael Ray cookbook....YAYYYYYYY! We enjoyed a late lunch and watched a dvd. I also got some Christmas photos of Mom, which are beautiful. I can't wait to frame them!
