october road

season finale was last night and let me just say it was pure awesomeness. i even shished my husband when he asked if this was that whatchamacallit show. do not talk to me unless its a commercial!! love this guy too. bryan greenberg. he can be found on my side bar on yes you can playing guitar. pure hotness right there. {i've been told that i have weird taste so if you don't follow me that's ok. every ones entitled to their own opinions} anyway, great season finale and i love that they didn't leave an obnoxious hangover like some other shows do. just enough to spark that i wonder whats going to happen now.........hate it that its over for the summer?????

and i'm super nervous. we're suppose to find out today if the seller has accepted our offer. my esophagus is really tight and i've got shortness of breath. no butterflies or knots in my stomach, just a weird feeling when i breathe. i need to go and clean some grapes + strawberries..... i'm still deep breathing!! i'm that nervous which tends to be a good thing when i'm this nervous but i don't want to jinx myself so.........

update on ketchup estate

someone had put in an offer. she says she's going to refuse it - way too low! makes me kinda nervous. was pretty excited but having it digest a little......stomach is in knots.

good news: we meet up with her {the seller} and our realtor on saturday to make an offer. also, we have 2 inquiries about our house just from the FOR SALE sign in the yard.

and we have someone coming to the house, hopefully this weekend to put up the doors that handy man mike is man enough to say he can't do it.

now i know better

i had finally convinced mike that he IS a handy man and that he CAN do minor home repairs. so the other night we went and got all the stuff needed to do our home improvement projects. put a new door up in ham's room, another closet door for our room and bi-fold doors for the pantry. he took half a day off of work to show me that he ISN"T a handy man and that he CAN"T do home repairs. he was working on ham's door and everything was going well until it came time to put the hinges on. he chiseled some of it but not enough to get the hinges in right so there isn't a gap showing when shutting the door and its hard to chisel straight and even. so before he got even more upset, i told him to just quit and we will have to hire someone to do it. it shouldn't be too expensive since we have everything here. so right then and there i realized that as much as i want too, i can not change him into a handy man.

3 things in pudding?

i wish i could remember exactly how old hamilton was when this happened. i'm guessing he was in 3rd or 4th grade and he had a substitute teacher for awhile. it was her last day and she brought in dirt pudding for the kids and handed out recipes for everyone. he must of loved it because it was either that night or some nights later, around midnight, he came downstairs and whispered "mom, mom? and i said " what?" he then asks me "whats the 3 things in pudding?" and to make sure i am hearing him right, i ask him again and he whispers "whats the 3 things in pudding?" and my natural grumpy response for being woken up at midnight- "are you kidding me? go back to bed." and he did. the next morning i ask him about it and he says he doesn't remember
anything but that's ok because i do and i will never, ever let him forget!

Dirt Pudding

oreos (bag + half) crush, set aside

in other blog news

i haven't checked out to see whats been happen' n in blog world today like i usually do every morning.

#1. finally got to meet our new realtor and let me just say that we are very happy with her. she seems to be interested in our house and the house that we are wanting to buy. she also seems to be the nicest person on earth. and we will have FOR SALE signs tomorrow in our yard! i am ecstatic! {is that right? i have lived in America for 31 years and you would think i would get this thing called english}

#2. i have had my nose in this computer like it was a novel. i have been reading "black heels to tractor wheels" by ree {confessions of pioneer women} who was first suggested by cathy from bits&pieces. love both of these women. i had to start the whole story from day 1 and have finally caught up. she's telling her tale of how her and her husband met and fell in love and the whole sha- bang. its sweet, charming and funny to boot. and yes, i have wayyy too much time on my hands. thank god i don't have a needy 3 year old or 15 year old to deal with!

ok, on to other blog news just in case someone will actually read this. i'm slowly coming out of my shell and starting to share......
