Well, it’s been awhile since we’ve had the Suburban out on the open road. We loaded up last week and headed for Arkansas. I told Bill I would pick him up around noon at his office downtown. Bill works for a very large natural gas company. Ever since 9/11, oil and gas companies in Houston have changed the design of many of their offices and are very, very tight on security. What I’m saying is that I haven’t been to…
This is how it went down …. 1:00 Bill and I go to the title company and see this sign: It was official. We were closing on our new house!! Bill looked a little pale during the whole thing and I asked him several times if he was doing o.k. You know … needed oxygen or anything. 🙂 We both signed 4,722 dotted lines … then I had to sign them all again because I hadn’t added my middle initial…
On Monday we were supposed to close on our house at 3:00. Turns out we didn’t. More than a little drama! I will spare you the gory details but suffice it to say Bill and I had to do a little good cop/bad cop with the mortgage company …. and, for the record, I was the bad cop. We are now set for Thursday. Eek! We’re about to have two houses. I was reading to Bill last night about worry…
Yesterday … when I put a link to Big Mama’s blog … well, it was the wrong link. Go figure. I have no idea how I did that but I have updated my blog and added the correct link here as well. Chalk this up to a Darla Story. 🙂 Read the post … The Where Against the Why here. PS If you ever notice in the future I do something like this again … please … do tell. I…
It’s been a long week here which may or may not explain why I haven’t posted … at all … this week. I’ve written several things in my head – which I’m fairly sure will stay there for eternity. One thing I do want to mention …. because I’m so proud of him! …. is that Bill Baerg was the featured “speaker” from our family this week. I told him that of all the speaking opportunities I’ve ever had, his…
Remember Chris Sligh, American Idol – Season 6? I’m a big Idol fan … or probably should say was … since Simon is leaving I just really don’t know that it will be all that great to watch anymore… but I did love it and loved Chris Sligh back in the day. And tonight he came to do a concert at our church that was great, even in spite of the fact that his smoke machine caused the smoke alarm…
We took some really cute Halloween pictures. You’ll have to imagine them though because we’ve lost all the cords that connect our printer to the computer. And without them I can’t download our pictures … or post them. It should not come as a surprise that it happened. When I got my new computer a year and a half ago, I decided I needed my own “work station”. I set up a nice area – with the exception of my…
Whew … whirlwind few days. Lots going on around here not the least of which was the fact that I was sick on Thursday and Friday. I’m sure staying up until 2:30 in the morning Tuesday night doing a home improvement project only exaggerated how badly I felt the rest of the week. And to be honest, I didn’t do the home improvement project, I only watched. You know … gave my moral support. The whole thing was funny ……
