29008. arkymalarky - 7/22/2017 2:36:25 PM For one thing, Truth is Stranger Than Fiction will be an element of many of them. 29009. Ms. No - 7/25/2017 2:35:56 AM You've got that right! 29010. wabbit - 9/11/2017 1:55:16 PM Happy birthday Mote, 1999-2017, hard to believe. 29011. Ms. No - 9/11/2017 6:22:29 PM The Mote can Vote!!
Happy Birthday to us! 29012. wabbit - 11/23/2017 1:02:39 AM Now that the silly season is upon us, I implore you, PLEASE don't shop on Thanksgiving Thursday. If we all stop showing up at 4pm or 6pm or 11pm or even frickin midnight, maybe the retail giants will give their minimum wage employees the damn day off for real. Buy online if you must, or if you are with relatives who can't have a civil discussion about politics or religion or whatever, but DO NOT shop in person. And now I wait for the usual trickle-down economy idiots to explain how it isn't just single moms and other minimum wage folks getting screwed...but really, as long as it isn't them... 29013. wabbit - 11/23/2017 1:05:56 AM Oh yeah...
Happy Thanksgiving Moties! 29014. Ms. No - 11/23/2017 8:32:00 PM Happy Thankgiving to you all!
Moties here and gone are one of the things that I am still thankful for every day. Hey, some of my best friends are Moties! ;-) 29015. Ms. No - 11/23/2017 8:37:18 PM Here at my brother's place for the holiday. Folks in from Jersey, all four of my brother's kids are here --- the oldest you may remember as "the Claw" with a lettuce leaf on his head. He's a senior in high school this year and just got accepted into both Northern Colorado and Boise State. The youngest, who is two on Dec 1, is playing in a cardboard box condo in the living room floor.
Good times.
29016. Ms. No - 11/23/2017 8:39:41 PM I'm waiting to hear back as to whether my home search is over or I have to keep looking. I have two offers in right now and one is looking really good, but I have learned not to get excited until the contract is actually signed. I've been this close and closer before, so I'm cautiously optimistic. :-) 29017. arkymalarky - 11/23/2017 8:43:28 PM How fun! We've been grandparents and that's been so wonderful, and my family is having Thanksgiving at our house here in a little bit. Love my mote Buds and I hope you all have a great Thanksgiving! 29018. Ms. No - 11/27/2017 5:41:01 PM Escrow begins today! Keep your fingers crossed. :-)
29019. arkymalarky - 11/28/2017 1:16:57 AM How exciting! When this goes through you absolutely must text me lots of pictures! 29020. Ms. No - 12/18/2017 10:07:01 PM Still moving ahead with the house. At this point, there are very few things that could upset the apple cart. I've already started packing, but I won't truly believe it's real until the keys are in my hand.
If it does fall through, I'm still moving. They've raised my rent again -- total of 35% over the last 8 months -- and they just aren't taking care of shit like they should.
Plus, I was burglarized the week after Thanksgiving. It was bad, but could've been worse. I wasn't home, but I'm still having a lot of anxiety when leaving or returning home.
Time to get into a more secure building whether it's mine or another rental. 29021. wabbit - 12/25/2017 4:22:13 PM Ms. No, definitely time to get out of Dodge, I hope the house paperwork is moving quickly.
Merry Christmas to all! 29022. arkymalarky - 12/25/2017 5:51:42 PM Merry Christmas dear mote buds!
29023. wabbit - 12/31/2017 3:47:17 PM Happy New Year! 29024. Ms. No - 12/31/2017 7:36:55 PM Time to kick 2017 to the curb! I've been in a funk the last month and can't seem to get out of it. Winter Break isn't always a good thing for me since it's cold out and I can just hibernate at home. This year I've been packing and trying to sort through stuff and clean up after the break-in, but I've spent way more time on the couch reading than I probably should have with all the stuff I need to get done.
Closing on the house this Friday -- was hoping it would happen sooner since I'm still off this week, but moving MLK weekend won't be too bad.
Looking forward to the next semester when my student teachers take over most of the planning and grading for my English classes.
Headed to a party tonight, but wishing I was going to the more low-key gathering that another friend is having. I already committed to the large gathering though, and I'm bringing food, so I will just be grateful I'm so blessed with friends.
Grr! I just want to be in my house and painting and fixing up and arranging. My mother is coming out at the end of the month for about 10 days to help out, and my brother and his wife and the baby will be up for the last long weekend of that, so I'm really excited. Bro is going to install some electrical outlets and maybe help me upgrade the sink in the master bath. I'm just thrilled that I have someplace for them all to stay now!
Okay, I'm rambling because I'm avoiding chores. Hope you all have a wonderful new year and safe celebrations wherever you happen to be tonight!
29025. Ms. No - 1/8/2018 6:42:10 PM It's official! I'm a bonafide homeowner! 29026. arkymalarky - 1/9/2018 4:11:58 AM Yay!!!!! 29027. wabbit - 1/10/2018 12:14:44 AM Congrats Ms. No!!!
