I did some painting last night in the basement and boy oh boy does it stink!
I had the basement door open and I opened the upstairs door and all the windows, but it didn't seem to help. I had to breath that stuff in all night. I'm sure I've lost a few million brain cells by now. Last night I kept waking up and I could smell it so I would bury my head in the pillows and try to fall back asleep. Thank God I'm not preggo right now, cause I'm sure this shit is not good for you!

I told Ian last night that it smells like if someone lights a match with in 50 feet of our house, the whole place might go up in flames! I hope it airs out some today, the poor dogs are stuck home with it.

I'm off to NY to see the hubby this weekend, YAY!! I can't wait! It's been 9 days. I think I was just starting to get into a routine. Sunday will be so hard leaving him again for another 2 weeks. :( 2 whole months of this stuff! I hate it, but the end result will be well worth it. We will actually get to have our own Christmas at home this year!!! Our first ever! It will be so nice to wake up in our own bed Christmas morning, it's been so long since we've had that.

Thinking happy thoughts....

Have a great weekend!

Me and my big mouth!

Ugh!

We had everything set on the new house in NY. The closing was scheduled for July 13th. I hadn't told anyone at work anything that was going on, because I'm convinced it's bad luck. Yesterday I was talking to my 2 bosses and finally spilled the info. No one has known that Ian is in NY, no one knows that we are getting this house in NY, no one knew anything. Now they know...well just the bosses, but the deed is done and I've jinxed myself by opening my big mouth.

The closing has been pushed back to July 31st!!!! UGHHHH! I just want to be there...NOW!! This is exactly why I haven't said anything. Everytime I do, things change.

I bought St. Joseph's yesterday and stayed out in the rain and buried him. Now I'll pray, everyday, that he helps us.

If this rain doesn't stop soon I might just lose my mind!!!!

That's it for now. I'm shutting my mouth and saving all info for the blogger world!

What is it about sleeping in the cold that makes me sick? EVERYTIME!

In Mexico we left the airconditioning off in our room all week, until the last day. I like it warm all the time, Ian likes it cold. So the last day I told him to turn the air on and i would just have to deal with it. Well, the next morning I woke up and felt like crap! Sore throat, stuffy nose and possibly even a fever! WTHeck!

Last night I slept with the window open, Bruno stole the entire comforter off the bed, I froze, and now I'm sick again! Same stuff, sore throat, snotty nose, warm head. Yuck!

Tday is my day off and I have to go into work for a conference call. Then I have some errands to run, and I HAVE to find a St. Joseph!!!! Have to!

I was supposed to go on a photosafari with Stacie, but the constant rain is looking like it's going to put a damper on that. Maybe we'll go on a St. Joe hunt instead, lol.

That's me. Everyday has been filled with 20-30 phone calls and emails back and forth with realtors and mortgage agents and home inspector, and on and on. We have a estimated closing date on the new house in NY fro July 13th. I can't wait!

As if living in CT and hating my job wasn't enough, living in CT and hating my job ALONE is much worse! I hate it. I don't know how you military wives do it. This just flat out sucks! Ian and I will be living apart for a month and a half! We've only been married for a year and a half and now we're living in separate states! This really stinks. The only thing keeping me going is that everyday at work is one day closer to being in NY.

I'm pretty much stuck here until A. we sell our house or B. I find a new job in NY, which by the way, is not easy when I'm here in CT and working all the time! I've done a few online applications to some places but I'm pretty sure that they all get lost in cyberspace somewhere so it was probably a waste of time. The thing with getting a decent job is that it always seems that it's a matter of being in the right place at the right time, or knowing someone on the inside. And while we are moving "home" I don't know anyone in the area we are moving to. So we're starting from square one again. Thank God that this will be the last time we will have to move liek this again. Unless, we decide to put ourselves back through this torture, which I don't for see happening.

I wish I had some more exciting stuff to write about, but these days it's all about the stress. While I am excited to move, and absolutly love the house we're getting. I don't know anything about the area we're going to. I don't know how to get to the house. I can barely remember what the house looked like inside. We only saw it one time!

The sale of our house isn't going well. We had 2 showings scheduled Monday and neither showed up! We have another open house coming up so lets hope we get someone for that. We've lowered the price 4 times! and offered buyer incentives.

Has anyone heard of this St. Joseph's thing? You're supposed to bury St. Joseph and it will help you sell your house? Where do I get one? I need one...TODAY!!!
