Thoughts From a Wandering Soul, Now in the Charm City

TaDa!

We got the house. I am excited. We received the keys on Saturday and
proceeded to move in. We pulled up carpet and the wood floors looked
great. Now we wait for the paperwork!

D Day

Well today is the day. If we do not get the keys today, then we will walk away from the house. I was at this point about 2 weeks ago and now the other half of the equation has joined in. I hope that the house does go thorough, however I will not be heartbroken if it does not. At this point I just want closure.

Waiting

No news is not always good news. I wonder if I will be moving to
Parma. I have been told that my knowledge of Polish may help me
there.

My Sweet

I don't say it enough, but MDB is wonderful. I want to tell the whole
world how much I cherish him.

Some say confession is good for the soul…

Well I must confess…I have been listening to country music for the last 2 days. I feel like I have to hide it from MDB. I hope that this will pass. I don’t really want to have songs by Alen Jackson or Garth Books going through my brain. The worst of it is there is video of me dancing on stage to 2 country songs. Admittedly this was in my youth, however, it is still out there and it is a cross that I have to bear.

The reason that this is all coming up is that I cam across some things from you youth while packing to move (not sure where to yet). I wonder if my dark side is rearing it ugly head?

Spam on my Blog!

I have noticed a disturbing phenomenon. That is Spam on my comments. People trying to advertise their products in for form of comments on
my blog! They are anonymously done and seem to come from the UK.

UGH!

What is wrong with this photo? I will tell you what is amiss! This is the line for the express lane and her cart is loaded to overflowing! I HATE TOPS!

Spending Money at H&M

For those of you who do not read the Plain Dealer, H&M is OPEN!! I
can think of only one thing that will take my mind off of this house,
and it is a trip to the west side to worship at the alter of European
Cheap Fashion!! I really miss Europe! It is funny that it is coming
to me now!

Stop the Insanity

I do not like emotional roller coasters, but yet I find myself on one today.  The house is up in the air again.  I swear that I am done with it!  I don't want it.  I have detached myself from it.  It should have been don't 2 weeks ago!  It is taking all the restraint that I can muster to not take matters in to my own hands.  I don't want this house; I believe that it is cursed!!

Scrap Mini Idea

No Mini for me

Mini Love (and I am not talking about my cat!!)

For many years I have had 1995 Neon. Well now that it has 128,000 miles on it, the air conditioning gone and who know what will go next, I decided that I would look around for a good deal… and I think that I found one! A 2004 Mini Cooper S. I have wanted one for so long. It has even become a bit of a joke… small model Mini’s for Christmas and such. My dream would have been to find one in Purple, but Electric Blue is bright enough for me! This car is just different enough for me. I am so excited. There are a few more things to be ironed out, but if all goes well, the Neon will go to the “Pit” and I will drive home in my Mini Cooper.

No House for the Weary

Yesterday was the day that we were to get the house. In a perfect world, this would have happened, however the world in not perfect and we are left with no time to work on the house when we get it. Right now I do not even want it. I can't make it a dream place. To quote Yoda "Sad and angry I am."

Impossible decisions

What is one supposed to do when the choices are something that will hurt yourself or hurt someone else? Do you sacrifice yourself? Not sure what the answer is?

Old Friends

Even with all of the mess going on with the house, I had a chance to talk with some old friends. It was great to talk and write to people that I have not spoken to in a long time. I have been remiss in not keeping up contact! It is funny how you miss people.

A Dream of Krakow

I have been thinking a lot about my past lately. I came home one evening and turned on the tv. The first thing on the top of the list on the Tivo was a travel log about Krakow. They showed the Market Square and then they played the Hejnal Mariacki. I couldn’t stand it, I had to turn it off. Too many memories.
