Things never work out like you expect

Stupid JCPenney. So we got the curtain. And it’s freakin’ YELLOW. Those who know me know how that’s going over right now. I freakin’ HATE HATE HATE yellow.
I ordered this from a picture online and in their catalog. It’s off-white on my screen. Not LEMON yellow. The description said “creamy vanilla”. And while some [...]

Yay for sunny days!

Today
Partly sunny. Highs 65 to 70. East wind 5 to 10 mph shifting to the southeast in the afternoon.
That’s the forecast today. After the rain, hail, and even snow we’ve had for the past two weeks, I’m definitely ready for a nice day. We can get the lawn mowed, do some yard work and just [...]

Love: The [...]

Funky Dreams

Lately I keep having funky dreams about selling our house. In the dreams we’re flipping out because we know we’re not going to sell the house for what we paid for it.
