Big Love

Tuesday, March 21st, 2006

Anyone else watching the new series on HBO – Big Love? I can’t decide if I like it or not. The whole time I’m watching it, I’m thinking – I could NEVER live like that! This guy is just a horndog and is using polygamy as a means to an end. But then I find myself thinking of the show during the week, wondering what’s going to happen next. I do know that I plan on watching it again this Sunday, for the third time. One thing about this show I do know for sure is it makes me horny! Dang. All that sex. And did you see Bill Paxton’s balls in the first episode? HELLO!

Speaking of HBO shows – how about Soprano’s this week? Hated it. Tony better not stay in a coma the whole season, damn it.

No More Fun?

Well I certainly did have fun during my reign as a blonde. But, I was tired of it… and too cheap to go back to the salon to have it done again. This house thing is gonna force me to be spendthrifty again!

Behold, the new me – back to brownish red:

Acceptance

Monday, March 20th, 2006

They accepted our offer on the house!!! Now we have to see if the house appraises for what we offered. The realtors are a little worried about that. I’m worried, too, of course… but I DID sleep last night which was a change from the previous two nights.

Stay tuned. :-)

Freakin Out!

A lot happened this week!

First, I took my hearing aide to the place where my sister bought her new aides and the doctor there fixed my hearing aide. FOR FREE.

On Thursday, the house of our dreams went on the market.

On Saturday, we went to see the house with our realtor. We were scheduled to see another house afterwards, but blew it off and went right to the realtor’s office to put an offer in on this house. We put our first ever offer in on a house! OMG! And my mortgage broker tells me that there is no question that he can get us a loan, it’s just a matter of what our payments will be. We’re not too worried about the payments, we think we can handle them – we were more worried that they’d say, ‘We MIGHT be able to get you into a house. We’ll see what happens.” But, that’s not what he said!

Today the homeowners are having an open house, and we are going there at 3 to have our agents meet to put our offer in. They have until tonight to give us their answer. HOLY SHIT. Please, please, please say yes.

I’m feeling better tonight. Nothing changed except my attitude. Actually, we got more “bad” news today, and I spent the day with just one hearing aide and I’m still better tonight than I was last night. Miraculously! The support of friends and my faith in God has really been what helped me today. Just trying to stay in today and accepting God’s will for me has been helpful, too. Tomorrow I’m going to a hearing aide place to see if they can repair my broken aide. Hopefully I’ll get good news. And hopefully we’ll hear back from the VA some time this week so we can get the ball rolling on a loan and put all this behind us.

So American Idol was predictable tonight. I hate that Kevin is still here. Stupid Vote For The Worst site. Hate them. And Stevie’s song was boring, wasn’t it? Didn’t dig that much at all.

Only two more days of the week left! This weekend, one of my 12-step groups is having a workshop on Let Go, Let God. Pretty timely, huh? I’m so looking forward to it. Three hours of recovery, fellowship and FUN. We do have a blast at these things.

Oh! We’ve been planning my sister’s bridal shower and bachelorette party, too. That’s been fun and helps me to feel more a part of, since I’m not going to be at the wedding (in Antigua in June). So that’s been a good thing. I’m looking forward to both of those events, as well as the reception she’s having when they get back from their honeymoon.

There. I dare you to call me Debbie Downer now, bitches!!! ;-)
