Congrats Nora & Tom!!! That house is beautiful! Salem reminds me some of the little Colonial-era preserved town I grew up in in Delaware. And good for you for starting therapy again, Nora. The whole house buying thing is completely stressful. I wouldn't call my house "my house" until I actually had the keys and was sitting on the floor in the dining room post-settlement. I just was so afraid somebody was going to catch on to the fact that they were selling a house to
me
.
Safe and easy passage for PTB! Soon I hope!
Congrats to Tom & Nora, and continued house-ma, to keep things moving smoothly.
May PTB arrive safe, healthy, and with a minimal amount of drama.
Stephanie, I don't think anyone has any idea how to size graduation gowns.
I hope that's true. I gave her my basic info, so I guess I'll just trust it will fit.
Oh! And Joey the Cat came home last night!!!
Two girls found him late last night in an alley one street over from my friend's house. They called her number from the flyer and she picked him up--he was a little confused and a little grumpy but he's otherwise ok.
The whole story just reinforces how much I love our neighborhood sometimes and, especially, the group of friends I have here now. Joey may not have been found so quickly had it not been for another friend of ours who lives nearby. She was walking her dog yesterday afternoon and ran into these girls hanging out by their house near where Joey lives. She told them about him going missing and they said they thought they'd seen him around already. She asked them to look out for him and told them about the flyers. When he showed up again in their alley late last night, they knew to look for the flyer and call Joey's person right away.
Yay! Happy Pet Missing Stories! I'm so relieved!!!
(picturing a little girl wondering why she gets "TickyBox" cards.)
That stuff is true, Cindy. And I suppose there are only so many ways to kill twenty minutes(/fake jaded.) You know it's fake because I'm still puzzled by the plugs.
lisah, that's such great news. I'm relieved the kitty made it home.
Yay for Joey getting home!
Me too! My friend called me last night and said he was standing up in the hallway meowing away. Like normal. phew.
In other news, I just had the most delicious beef stew. Leftovers from what my bandmate made for pre-practice dinner last night. We Are the most well-fed band in Rock and Roll.
You should totally introduce yourselves that way.
