(2 won my heart | fight!) Semi charmed kinda life [20 Mar 2007|10:59pm] [ mood | chipper ] Wow I really don't update this thing very often at all anymore. Well we've obviously moved into our house (as of Jan. 22nd as matter of fact) and it's lovely! As matter of fact EVERYTHING has been lovely for us recently , dan's job is going great, he graduates in june, finances are doing nicely, both of us are healthy (knock on wood), but most especially having the house is the best part so far this year. I've had a great time getting knicks and knacks and decorating. Dan's mom has been a real gem and let me pick out fabric for pillows and curtains and she's going to sew them for me, she's really quite crafty when it comes to that sort of thing, wish I was! Everything has been going really wonderfully for us, shockingly so I might add! I've been thinking about that alot today, how really great I have it. I guess when you see someone else having a hard go of it, it makes you realize how damn good you have it in the scheme of things. Pretty much all of my family have their own little cluster fuck of chaos going on at the moment. Poor Jennifer (one of my sisters) is really in a shit storm, her husband lost his job just after the holidays and decided to take up his own business (if anyone needs any work done on a pool/walkway/driveway/lot pleassssse let me know) and it's really not taken off very well at all, it's been a little over 3 months and they've managed decently thus far by sheer luck but now they are really in a bind as far as finances so hopefully mummy dearest will lend a hand as far as that goes, we are still nursing the wounds from helping them last month so that's not an option at the moment. Needless to say everyone in that house is very on edge at the moment and reasonably so, even poor chloe (my neice) is feeling the burn of it and has been upset about the whole deal, it's amazing how some silly paper makes the world go around isn't it? Then Pam as per her usual is in a tizzy of her own about her husband whom per HIS usual is cheating on her, yet again....surprise surprise, and she's plotting her escape yet again...curious to how long she'll stay gone this time before prince charming sweeps back in and takes her "home". Seeing a real shit of a man really makes you appreciate having a great one , I can tell you that much! Dad's still trying to sell one house and finish building another, meanwhile trying to get business for his company and coping with a failing marriage and 2 step children, whom he doesn't like, and return the sentiment. And dearest mom is still dealing with her lovely in-law and step children. I on the other hand have no complaints other than a few trivial ones like my keyboard continuously sticking and my washer refusing to be level so shaking about madly. I guess I'm living high on the good life for now, well I say for now but really it's all pretty well and good always, just a few bumps in the road and scrapes on the knees every now and again, and I guess really you can't have a rainbow without a little rain! Here's to having a great start to the new year these past few months, hope it continues all throughout!

(fight!) Are we there yet? [11 Jan 2007|01:21am] [ mood | excited ] 8 more days until the big move, I can't wait! Friday we close on the house and then we are going over to have a painting party after we are done and paint all the rooms and have a few drinks. Then saturday we are getting up early and starting to move all the furniture in over there. Hopefully by Monday we'll be all moved in and settled *fingers crossed* in the meantime though I have a billion things to take care of and schedule and I'm frantically trying to get it all done in time. I wish I had an assistant to delegate some of this crap to but daniel just started his classes again in the evening mondays and wednesdays and works until 2 pm everyday in the meantime so that leaves me to do it all, which is good because I'm the meaner/pushier of the two anyway so I'll get the job done, I just need to whine about it first hah. Hopefully I'll be able to get everything done and life will be much less chaotic after we are done moving. I'm bummed though because Lacey moved to Georgia recently so now I won't get to visit with her which I was definetly planning on doing when we moved back, but she said she'll come down for a visit soon so at least I have that. There's a select few of my friends from lakeland that I really miss, so hopefully I'll be able to catch up with them. I'm mostly looking forward to being able to sleep good again lol, anyone that knows me knows that when alot is going on I get a horrible case of insomnia and stay up all hours scheduling and organizing, I'm a freak. I just can't wait to have the house all painted and prettied up and moved in, it's going to feel so good waking up in the new house with everything the way I want it. Everything is going so good right now it's unbelievable, hopefully the streak will continue, there's just alot to look forward to. Dan will be done with school in may which is awesome so I'm really looking forward to that. And then our anniversary is in July, 4 years married, wowzers. Can't believe we've been together for 6 years, seems like a really long time, considering it's a little under a 1/3 of my life. So I have to think of 2 awesome gifts to get him. I'm thinking one will be a wii because he wanted one but I have no idea what the other will be. Okay now I'm rambling so off to watch Conan and try to fall asleep on the sofa, hope everyone else is doing great too! mwa!

(fight!) Woohoo for Christmas! [26 Dec 2006|02:09am] [ mood | sleepy ] Jeeze I must have been a super duper good girl this year because I'm feeling really rather spoiled after Christmas, I don't think there's a single thing that I wanted that I didn't get! We had a really nice time at dan's mom's house, my sis and her family came (my neice looked sooooo adorable, she had on minnie ears heehee) and the food was awesome, dan's mom can realllllly cook! Last night was super fun too (christmas eve) we went over to my sister's house and her hubby kevin made the best lasagna I've ever tasted, mmmmmmmm lasagna! Anyway me and dan totally racked up this year!!!

The monitor is awesome but it's going to take me awhile to get used to everything being HUGE! I really hope everyone else had a nice time this year with their families and friends, this was really a perfect ending to a pretty awesome year. I can't wait until next christmas, first christmas in my new house, heehee! I told dan that I needed a christmas light gun like the zaney lady from how the grinch stole christmas because I'm going to go decorating crrrrrazy! Only 26 more days until we move in! *squeal of delight* Well it's 1:10 a.m. so I'm off to bed, merry christmas to all and to all a goodnight! mwa!

(fight!) Merry Christmas! [22 Dec 2006|10:22pm] [ mood | peaceful ] Hope everyone has a great christmas in a few days and all of you get everything that you wanted and get to spend time with those you love! We are going to dan's mom's house with my sister and her family so that will be nice and dan has christmas eve off as well so we'll be able to spend some nice time together. Then only 29 more days until we get the house! I really can't wait it seems to be going by soooo slow. Hopefully after christmas everything will speed up!

(4 won my heart | fight!) What the duece? [16 Dec 2006|07:21am] [ mood | giddy ] I do believe I've been possessed by Martha Stewart, I've already picked out paint and everything for all the rooms in my new house, which I'm not even moving into for 35 more days, and yes, I truely am counting down the days. Dan thinks it's a riot because I am now home depot's biggest client whereas usually you couldn't lead me into that store with a donut and 20 bucks hooked to a string. I think I may start to suffer from twitches and odd quirks by the time we move in, why is it when you are having a really shitty time of things time flies by and feels like such a huge waste but when you are excited about something coming up it drags it's ass? Christmas will provide a nice distraction from my organizing and anal planning of the move, and also I'll be getting goodies which is always very very nice! The only thing that totally makes me paranoid about owning a home is the fact that I have my type of family... so I'm not allowing certain members to "visit" or be "houseguests" because they totally will never leave and I'll end up having a 35 year old kid because I've never been good at saying "no". I seriously have to work on that! Okay I'm going to go put on my girl rock and frollick about the house so I can wake up! hope everyone's doing good!

(2 won my heart | fight!) Counting the days.... [10 Dec 2006|04:10pm] [ mood | cheerful ] So, we put an offer in on a house in lakeland.... and they accepted! We start the financing process tomorrow, which will go smooth because we've already been approved for the loan, then it will be inspected, and if all goes well we'll close on the 20th of January. So in a month and a 1/2 I'll be moving into my first house! I'm so excited I could die! I can't believe it's almost christmas, good thing I'm already done with my shopping or i'd be having a fit! Hope everyone else is doing as well as we are this holiday, mwa!

(fight!) Thanksgiving [25 Nov 2006|11:43am] [ mood | sleepy ] Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving, ours was pretty great, we went to my sister Jen's house and had a really nice time, then went to Dan's parent's house which was also really nice. We got almost all of our Christmas shopping done yesterday so that's definetly something to be thankful for, I just have to order my mom's book and another gift for my neice Chloe and I'm all done! The lakeland house didn't work out, they weren't willing to fix the things I wanted done before moving in and I wasn't willing to pay so much for something I'd have to change so drasically myself. So we put an offer in on a brand new house in winter haven, and I should know where we sit with that on Monday. It's very nice so I'll be happy if we get it, but if not then I have another 6 picked out to go and look out between lakeland and winter haven, so I won't be too disappointed, I know I'll find something I like and will get eventually so I'm not allowing myself to put pressure on the subject or stress over it. My mom had her shoulder surgery the other day and everything went off without a hitch this time, I was terrified about the whole situation just because of what happened last time she tried to have the same surgery, but she's doing fine now and it looks like she won't have to have surgery again, hopefully her physical therapy will go great and she'll be 100% again soon. She'll be down at her beach house in Florida for christmas with Fritz's family so we'll go see them either christmas eve or the day after christmas, which will be nice. I can't believe it's almost Christmas time already, it really doesn't seem like it should be yet, this year sure did fly by! I guess it's true what they say, time flies when you are having fun. I just hope next year goes just as great!
