WHEW…That was a rough one.

Yesterday was mean. Big fat meanie fat ugly mean yucky day. But here’s where we stand.

Roomie and I are fine and dandy. We really do have excellent communication. He’s got such a good heart and it really is in the right place. So. I write to you this morning after a blissful night’s sleep. Life is much better on that front.

Escrow. Fucking Escrow. Stupid Life Stuff. I HATE not knowing this stuff…seriously. and WHO should have told me? When was this information supposed to get passed on to me? GAH.

I have to cough up 600 bucks to bring my escrow account up to date.
My house payment will then only go up 43 bucks. This I can handle.
I am going to get with my insurance and go over my policy and see if we can pare that down a bit.

and all I really want is to play in the dirt.
or go on a vacation to a beach and unwind.
or have some new scissors for work.
or use that $ to pay down my computer and build a Pergola.
or….

ok. quit bitching about Life. Time to saddle up and ride.

I worked a wedding last night and the long day of standing is wearing on my body today. Creak. Groan. Snap. Ugh. But it’s a relatively light day then on to the ballpark downtown for Bedlam Baseball with the PseudoSisters et. al.

we’ll end on a positive note:

Yesterday Dad came an sprigged in some bermuda sod in my yard! and while he found out that my front yard hose spout thingy has a bad leak and must be replaced (of course it does. and there is no reason to believe this wont be an invasive intense repair job rather than just an unscrew and replace kind of job) my back yard is ready to be watered in and fertalized and let’s GROW!!! The garden is looking lovely too by the way!

ok. I’m off to work. Last bit of the day a big fat HAPPY 12TH BIRTHDAY NOODLE, DAUGHTER OF GERT!
12 years ago today AuntChi called me. I was sitting in a room, tiny little bitty room in Goshen, Indiana packed and surrounded by my stuff that I was loading into my car preparing for the trek home. She said, “we have a baby! she’s perfect!” and we cried and we laughed and I packed my stuff and headed back to Oklahoma. Two days, two flat tires and a rescue by Mom and Bonusdad somewhere up the turnpike and I got home and went to meet this beautiful creature. She is growing into the most fabulous of all Tweens…my best friend is an amazing mother. What a journey!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NOODLE!!!
