We put a bid on “the perfect house” yesterday. While the bid wasn’t accepted, we did receive a counter-bid and we’re going to accept that as soon as we can.

I’m currently reading three books at once (not to mention the two that I just finished). One is “Healing Mind, Healthy Woman,” another is “Sweeping Changes,” and the third is “The Feeling Good Handbook.” Yes, I’m on a self-help kick.
The two books I just finished were both fluffy books by Alice Hoffman. I think it’s funny how I just don’t like anything she wrote besides Practical Magic. *sigh*
Nick is currently reading “How You Can Survive When They’re Depressed.” It’s to help him cope with me. Yes, I bought it for him. Yes, I’m reading it too. Nick doesn’t see how this relates to us at all, as my current depression doesn’t seem to be affecting his life. *another sigh*
Nick and I sat at home and watched “Pearl Harbor” last night. Well, I say I watched it. I really only watched the scenes related to the love triangle and anything that was subtitled. I don’t know why I read the subtitled parts. I just did.
I wasn’t fond of the movie. The love triangle part was too predictable. The war parts were just boring. I’m not going to watch it again. Nick can if he wants.
Yes, I am still alive. No, no one asked. I just assumed someone out there might care. Hmm.
In any case, I’m home again. I’ve actually been home since Friday night, but my best friend came up for the weekend and we spent the time playing instead of doing useful things.
Last week I flew to California to meet my birthmother and my half-brother. The week went really well, much better than I expected. They’re very nice people. We exchanged gifts, did some much needed talking about important things, had a few meals. It was nice.
The weird part is that I felt like I was gone for six months and my outlook on life has totally changed. I hadn’t thought much before about all the things I have and all the wonderful trips I’ve been on and stuff. Now it’s all that I think about. I am so totally blessed in life. It could have been so very different for me. I just…wow. Yeah.
We’re all going to keep in touch. It was a nice visit. Hopefully they’ll come out to visit me once I’ve moved into a house.
In other news, we’re house hunting again. We have an awesome realtor and we know where we’re looking and what kind of house we’re looking for. We think we’ll prolly find one within the next month or so. I have no idea how we’re going to get out of our apartment lease early, but we’ll deal with that when the time comes.
I spent yesterday redecorating my bedroom. It needed it. I repainted some picture frames, framed some other art, hung it all up. I also made a canopy of sorts for my bed, which looks awesome. I’m working on painting my dresser blue. I’ve got it half-way done and Nick is bringing me more paint when he comes home tonight. 🙂
Today I’m working on a picture album for last year. Yeah, I know, I should have had that done before my trip to California, but some things just take longer to get to than others. Oh well.
Have a great day!
