Stephen put an offer on a house this weekend! A nice house... a GREAT house... and we learned yesterday that the owner has verbally agreed to Stephen's offer. It's not anything to get our hopes up, but it's a really good sign.
If all works out, Stephen could own this house by mid-May!
More to come, but keep your fingers crossed that he gets this house!

Totally Random
As if my post yesterday wasn't completely and utterly random, I found this on Martha's blog and decided I should probably comply since she actually takes the time to read my blog (p.s. - look at her blog about "Simon's Cat.")
10 years ago:
I was 18. First year of college at Texas Tech. I was not using the study habits I developed as a straight-A student in high school, rather I was spending my time learning about alcohol mixology and recuperating from unwise levels of consumption. I eventually failed out my first year, had to sit out one semester and then take a "learn how to study course." Sheesh!
Things on my to-do list today:
-grocery shopping with Stephen
-play some Guitar Hero if he'll let me in on the action
-take my clean laundry out of the dryer since it's been there since last week
-go to bed early to make my 5:45 a.m. spin class
What would I do if I suddenly became a billionaire?
I would pay off my parent's debt so they didn't have to worry so much and buy them tickets to Boston to visit us. Then I'd buy a house up here so Stephen and I could quit searching for crappy houses on his budget. Then I'd take care of my debt, set up a college fund for my nephew, donate a significant fund to the shelters where I got my kids and I'd take a much wanted vacation. Naturally I'd make sure that the rest was invested so I wouldn't have to worry about things ever again except which color Jimmy Choos I should get. :)
Three of my bad habits:
1. biting my nails
2. losing motivation for the gym
3. eating out too much
Five jobs I've had:
1. car attendant for Hertz Rental
2. hostess for TGI Friday's
3. Salon coordinator
4. bookkeeper at my dad's shop
5. PR bad-ass (in my mind anyway!)
Five things many people don't know about me:
1. I failed out of college freshman year
2. I haven't talked to my brother in about 2 years
3. I LOVE sudoku
4. I am afraid of heights but really want to bungee jump
5. I go to Target at least once per week, and oftentimes 2-3 times per week, even if it's just to browse.
