Timelies!

Today we put up the last Roman shade and hang some misc stuff in the living room. I'm so excited! I'm also going to try to get it all organized and cleaned up. I think Emily will be so surprised when she gets home.

I talk to my parents frequently...not necessarily daily, but frequently. Part of that, I think, is because they live so close...so we work out when we're going to see each other next, ect. I try to call more right now, especially my mom, 'cause she's so discouraged about the job thing. So, I try to call during the day and give her something to smile about.

Now, my brothers I talk to less, and I'm actually trying to change that. I got pretty frustrated when I found out about a big trip my brother and SIL's octet was taking from the group's website. So, we're trying to e-mail more frequently and be more involved in each other's lives.

vw, I forgot to mention earlier that I'm sorry about your mom not getting the job. That really sucks.

I am basically waiting by the phone for my buyer's agent calls me back. And this isn't even waiting for the offer to be accepted! This is waiting for my agent to call me back so we can get together and write the offer to submit! I am terrified that we will have missed the opportunity to get this house.

I'm sorry to bring up the boring house stuff, but I am trying to be all calm and strong and stable for Tom, because he is Freaking Out, and I don't really want to talk about it with my friends or family yet, in case it doesn't work out, and I just needed a little vent for my nervous energy. Breasthing now. Inhale pink, exhale blue. If it's meant to be, it will be. If it's not, there are plenty of other houses in the sea.

Oh, Nora, I can imagine. And it's not boring house stuff! It's very exciting! I'm so excited for you guys. I have friends who are all grown up! It gives me hope that one day I'll be all grown up too :)

I'd totally be on pins and needles too. I wish you guys much good luck. It would really be a wonderful house...and I'd get to see it and everything!

Poptarts:

Hmmmm...I think Not!Emily ate some of my ice cream last night. Is it wrong that all that happened when I noticed this was that I thought, "Hmmmm...is it too early for ice cream?"

Amusingly enough, even my dad thinks calling every day is ridiculous, but he still advocates every two or three days. My mom still seems to want the daily call, some sort of hi hello on my way to class, because I'm far away, she feels like she's losing me, and she knows that makes her "possessive," but that's what she's going to be. I told her that wasn't good for us, I need some room, and she asked how much more room could I get? I told her other people often go entire weeks without calling home, but we're Indian, so family's more important. Oh, and they're going to Europe for two weeks in July, and could I take a short vacation in the first month or so of my very first job to come along?

Also, vw, I know your tag is sarcastic, but I see it and think, "What? vw's not a bitch. I want to give her a hug."

Having this tag makes me wish we had picture icons like we did at WX so I could put this [link] picture next to that tag. I just think I look all sweet and innocent in that picture, and it would be funny next to that tag.

---

Hee. I really like that picture.

OK. going to realtors at high noon. must remember to breathe. lord, I hope the decision on the offer is a quick one or I'm never going to survive this.

Much ~ma headed your way, Nora. Good luck!
