Being cozy and cute and snacking!

Today was an absolutely beautiful day and we celebrated by spending a crapload (an actual measurement if you didn't know) of money. No, not on a new house, that bill hasn't come due yet. We had to get a washer and dryer as our new house was without both. My beloved caring husband also said we needed a new fridge because he knew the one I liked and wanted and thought that the one that was already there would hurt my back. The freezer was on the bottom (which I am a fan of) but you had to pull out the drawers (that, not so much). So who has the best hubby in the world!!! We also got a microwave! Everything except the microwave comes with rebates and we are going to keep the existing fridge, just move it into the garage (or gay-rahg as the french salesman called it).

So to give a quick update.... Cammie remains a wild woman, I got my hair sort of fixed- it is brown for now and I am not allowed to touch otc hair color, the packing continues, and everything is progressing the way it should.

And according to Cammie, the cow says Boooooooo.

I didn't do anything......

This past week has been a flurry of activity. Me packing, Cammie unpacking, dogs barking, dogs going to the vet. Joe going to work. Bad hair. I am never moving again!! Unless it is to have Cammie put me in a home.

Looking like a big girl!!

The days have gotten away from me again. Been cleaning and packing ugh. Now our search for a washer and dryer begins. So much to do so little time!!!!

Hi You!!!

Yesterday was a gorgeous day!!! Alice and I took Cammie to Sailwinds Playground in Cambridge and it was so nice. Cammie had lots of fun and even went down the covered slides by herself. We stopped at Sonic for lunch on the way home and had lots of fun!! Yesterday was also Uncle Gary's birthday but we didn't make it to his annual party! :o( Today has been sunny but windy and chilly. It was really windy last night! Yikes!! The dogs were afraid to go outside and so was I. Joe got home this morning from work and we went to breakfast at Rams Head which was yummy and then we were tying to decide what to do and decided to go see Brooke's T Ball game. Cammie played on the playground with Brody for a little while and then we got to see Brooke's first hit!! It was very cute. We had a yummy steak dinner and now Joe is on his way home from Rita's with dessert!

Cutie pie!!

I'll try and catch everyone up from last week! On Friday we went and looked at a house that we had seen the week before (before finding the dream house that we lost. Yes I'm still a little bitter about that but I know everything happens for a reason!) So anyway, we put an offer on this rancher that we liked and after counters and re counters and re counters they finally accepted our offer! So barring any terrible news from the inspections we have a new house!! It's in Woodbine. Didn't do much last weekend, Joe worked OT on Saturday. We've been packing and throwing stuff away and basically organizing. I booked a moving company yesterday which was a big relief and they will hold our stuff overnight since our settlements are a day apart. Tuesday night Cammie and I had dinner at Cracker Barrel with Jenn and Brooke and Brody which was fun. And yummy of course. Yesterday Alice came over and we took Cammie to the park and then checked out the new Dollar Tree store and then picked up Rita's and came home to hang out with Joe for a while. Today we have to go talk to our insurance agent and then hope to enjoy some of this beautiful day!!

Enjoying a cupcake on Easter

OK, I know it's been a while again and I'm a bad blogger. It's just been crazy and then all of a sudden it's like summer out and I keep losing track of the days!! I think anyone who has spent more than a few minutes in the company of our Wild Woman can appreciate that. I think she may be destined to be a fitness coach. Look out Jillian!!! So anyway, Happy Belated Easter. We went house hunting last Friday and were lucky enough to find the house of our dreams that had been on the market for 500+ days. Our realtor kept saying what a great position we were in with selling our house already etc. Our luck came to a screeching halt when the owner had a CASH offer. He really wanted us to get the house (we would have been neighbors) but his realtor bullied him into taking the cash offer. We tried all kinds of "schmoozing" and it did work but sadly money talks. So strike two and the hunt continues. We did find another house we liked in our marathon of looking that day and we are going to see it again this Friday. It is newer and has been upgraded somewhat but the basement still hasn't been completely finished. I swear though if we get beat out for this house I am going to really go after someone.

Last Saturday we went to breakfast at Rams Head and Cammie saw the Easter Bunny. She was less than impressed I must say. She did OK when she sat next to him but she did not like sitting on his lap. Joe forgot to take off for Easter so he had to go to work. Cammie and I went to Meaghan and Rick's. We had a nice time and Cammie had lots of fun hunting for Easter eggs, she did really well!! Then she played bubbles with Aunt Alice and Emily and had lots of fun doing that. The Easter Bunny did leave her lots of presents there and she stole some of Rick's so it was a good day!!

Some other stuff has happened also but nothing really newsworthy. Just been trying to pack some and keep Cammie from unpacking.

Yesterday Joe and I took Cammie to the playground and then to see the animals by Rustico. She loved it especially when all of the sheep came running across the field to see her. They quickly lost interest when they realized we were food less. We had to drag her away from there (wonder how she will do at the zoo??) and we walked down to Peace of Cake and got eclairs. YUM.

Hope everyone is doing well!!
