It's Not That I Stink At Blogging...

it's that I'm longer skilled at multi-tasking. Things have been oh-so-hectic here. And I don't mean to say "my life is so much busier than your life." I mean to say "I'm not handling it as well as you are." I will be back to blogging full-time soon, but in the mean time I thought I'd update you on my life in list form:
  • We got our stuff back from the book keeper/fugitive. It was a long hard process and it just about drove us nuts. I don't think any long term harm was done. I'd like to think that she was a person trying to turn over a new leaf, but a brisk wind came along and turned the leaf back to its original position. We are now looking for a legitimate company to take over the financial aspect of the business. Keep your fingers crossed. Also, you like my analogy? Too stretched? Yea, probably.
  • Thing are plugging along. I won't believe it's going to happen until it happens, so I'm trying to remain mum on the subject so that I won't be too depressed if it gets yanked away from us. As soon as things are more positive, I will let y'all know. Promise.
  • That being said, we did give our notice of intent to move to our apartment complex. They are at 96% occupancy right now. So there's a good chance if we lose the house, we'll also lose the apartment. Fun, right?
  • Our older dog Riley decided to add a touch of her own decorating to our current home the other morning around 3:15 a.m. Her idea of decorating apparently consists of spray painting from a rear orifice if you get my drift. It was NOT pretty. Especially since I cleaned up the whole place, crawled back into bed, and then realized I could still smell it everywhere. Guess what? I hadn't checked her fur. Rookie mistake really. I got about three hours of sleep that night.
  • My mom just called me from her bridge game to ask me what the name of the animal was that freaked Manbug out when he visited NJ. I knew exactly what she was talking about, but received protests from my male counterpart when I recalled the story of how he screamed like a girl when two fighting chipmunks crossed over his path. (Really, he had a valid point - those suckers are ALL OVER my mom's condo complex).
  • Also, I think my mom and her friends have started drinking at their bi-weekly bridge games (does that mean twice a week? Because that's what I meant. I can never get those words straight).
  • I'm a little amazed that there is a chance that we could be moving in less than 25 days.
  • Of course, there's always the possibility that we could be homeless in 25 days.
  • Anyone in Austin have some free guest space?
  • I promise I won't bring Riley. :)
  • Someone called my husband "low class" today for two of the dumbest reasons and I'm still laughing about it. He's still mumbling "d-bag" under his breath every five minutes, but really - it's funny. Because the commentor turned out to be more low-class than anyone I've ever met.
  • I got to meet some AMAZING women last week at a little happy hour. We had a lovely time and chatted for hours. I can honestly say they are all as funny in person as they are on their blogs!

  2. I think twice a week is "semi-weekly." "Bi-weekly" is every other week, I think.

    Glad you got your stuff back from the fugitive, and I loved leaf metaphor. ;-)

  5. SO happy to hear you retrieved your info from the fugitive!

    Miss your regular posts, but it happens to all of us. Maybe not the spray-painting dog part (poor puppy!), but you know what I mean.

    Looking forward to the next Austin blog adventure . . .

  6. I'm sure our apartment complex isn't full. You may have to put a drop cloth on your stoop in case your neighbor gets murdered, but that's part of the "charm" in my 'hood.

    Did miss your blog and loved meeting you. Especially since we are total kindred car spririts.

  7. I'm always wrong about semi- and bi-weekly, so I won't even try to tell you.
    Loved the leaf metaphor! :) you are GOOOOOOOD!
    You will NOT be homeless. This is going to happen for you!
    So glad you got to meet some ladies in town! Yay!!! Can't wait to meet you at the end of the month!
    Why is your hubby low-class white trash?? LMAO
