A Little of Everything

I have removed the daisy chain and my blog now looks naked! I miss those little ladybugs. (sniff, sniff)

Just a quick update about the electrical fire, nothing was damaged and no one was hurt. Kevin was doing some wiring on Saturday and it was really just a freak thing. We have a very old house and weird things seem to happen with any home improvement project!

On Monday we had no one look at the house, a welcome reprieve! Since the boys have been home, the house is a lot harder to keep in "on the market order." But the upside of that is, my boys are home!!! They had such a wonderful time camping and they came home full of stories about all of their adventures and fun. These boys were born to camp!

Yesterday we had two more people look at the house and one of the couples is interested. It should be an interesting scene on Friday when we call our realtor to say "yea" or "nay" about the job and she then has to call all of these people, who will in turn bid it out. She also said if Kevin does not get the job and we don't sell the house that all of these potential buyers are going to form a lynch mob and come after us! No pressure, Kev!

Last night we had some company, Kevin's childhood friend, his wife and their son all came over for pizza. (This is the couple whose wedding we attended in Colorado.) They came to NJ for Bob's cousin's wedding and are now on, what is being called, the East Coast Tour, visiting all of Bob's family and friends. Bobby's wife, Diane, is so warm and sweet, one of those people that you feel an instant kinship with and their son, who is almost two, is a little darling! We had a terrific visit, full of laughs and reminiscing and wedding pictures (yeah!).

My poor little John was suffering from a headache. He came to me, right after we ate, and told me he felt like he was going to throw-up. We headed to the bathroom and after a minute he said he had to poop. I told him that sometimes we think we are going to throw-up but it ends up coming out the other end. He chuckled. He wanted me to stay with him, which I did, and when he was done, he reached for some toilet paper. He must have unrolled the roll 10 times before I said, "Honey, you don't need so much." He looked at me for a second and said, completely serious, "So that's why we go through a roll in two days." Now, it was my turn to chuckle!

Last night, Kevin and I were laying in bed, and he asked me if he should get a new polo shirt for his interview. I told him that he didn't need to, as he has many nice, short sleeve button downs that are business casual. This turned out to be a conversation in which I was required to do some back peddling!
K: Should I wear the one that I wore tonight?
L: (thinking really hard about what shirt he is referring to) Ummm
K: The one with the blue and green check.
L: Oh.
K: You don't know what shirt I was wearing, do you? I remember that you were wearing your nice turquoise skirt.
L: I was too distracted by your handsome face to notice your shirt!
K: (laughs) You're good.

Yes, I am many things, but naturally observant is not one of them! And, besides, he is handsome!

Tonight we are leaving for North Carolina! Thursday we are looking at houses with our realtor, who is also the pastor's wife of the church we are planning on attending. Friday is the interview and Saturday, maybe more houses and the hotel pool! I am going to try my hardest to get to a computer to let you all know what has happened because I can hear it now, " (whine, whine) We are not going to know anything until Sunday!!!" That's alright, I would feel the same way. If I can't get to the computer, maybe Laurie can post something for me on her blog. She is "Running With Scissors", on my sidebar. Please pray for us, if you are so inclined.

One last thing, my dear friend Meg has started a blog. She called it, "The blog for you"(me) because I am the only one who comments right now. Please stop by and say hello, if you get a chance!
