Puppys

I don't really have time to write much because I'm supposed to be getting ready to go to work, but I thought an update was necessary. So, great news, we have agreed to a price on a house and we will close on it on the 20th of October. Yay! Plus, it's the house I really wanted so that's just great. I now need to start planning the decorating and painting. I need to have a plan of action so I can get everything done and we can move in buy the end of October so we don't have to pay another months rent. Anybody feel like painting.
It's a crazy life right now with stuff planed for every weekend and the new baby. Oh, didn't I tell you, we spontaneously got a dog. We it's not that spontaneous. Justin has been practically begging for a puppy for a long time. When Mamaw had these Labrador Retriever puppies she couldn't take care of I was slightly interested. When I learned they were female, yellow labs I was like "Sign me up!" Anyway now we suddenly have a dog. I wanna call her Boomer and Justin doesn't but he doesn't have any suggestions so I think I win by default. She has already been so much work though. It is just adding to the Craziness. I feel really bad about leaving her here by herself all day but whats a girl gonna do? I've gotta work right? Anyway speaking of work I need to go do that so I will talk more about Craziness and houses and puppies later.

Thoughts

OK, now I'm doing this too. We will see how long this lasts. Just seems like a fun way to kill time and a neat way to get all your swirling thoughts lined up in a row, right? If it becomes work..., well who has time for more work? Actually I sorta do have time for more in my life. Or I guess I do right now. I don't work full days like regular people, or even go to school. I don't have kids constantly asking for my time and I don't keep my house like a fanatic(some of my friends do), I don't have hobbies(besides reading obsesivly), play sports or do volunteer work, so technically I do have time for more.

But I have a plan. I'm going to start trying to fix up a house. I would get off work in the afternoons and, when money permits, I would turn a structurally appealing house into a modern updated WOW house. With my own two hands. Sweet! I would actually be working for us(Me and Justin) and I would be my own boss at my new afternoon "job". That is if we can ever buy one. I liked this house that we just put in an offer on and then the sellers countered with something we wont even think about accepting. Now Justin is saying don't get too attached. I have to agree though. It's only your dream house if you can get it at your dream price. I really want to start envisioning the house as it would be after I have my way with it, but is that considered getting your hopes up?

So there is all that on my mind. And I feel kind of guilty because I SHOULD be thinking about THE WEDDING. I really want to worry about that but we just don't have the money or time right now. I feel like I'm letting the wedding down. I'm not being a very good planner. I should be buying stuff for it at this point. Oh well, I guess the house purchase lasts 5 or 10 years and the wedding lasts a day. Anyway. That is not all that's on my mind but that's probably enough said today.
