Oh my.  I just moved in June.  Now I am going to move yet again.  This time to another house in the same neighborhood.  My landlady owns another house that has 3 bedrooms as opposed to my current two.  She had it for sale but would be taking it off the market for me to rent.  The best part.. I rent for the same amount!  The bad part.. I have a LOT of painting to do.  Whoever she hired to paint the house in the first place painted EVERYTHING the same matte tan color.  When I say everything I mean TRIM.  *insert gag here* She’s going to turn on the utilities and let me go in and start painting now.  I want to get that house cleaned and painted before we move in.  I’m really excited because we will have a LOT more room, but wow.. I have a lot of work to do.  LOT.. lot lot.  I like these older homes though, they have a certain amount of charm.  Something about those 1950’s cottage ranch houses just make me smile.. like the scalloped wood over the sink/window.  I mean.. come on!  How can you not love that?!  What I don’t love.. the chocolate and vanilla swirl sink in the bathroom.  I also am not a fan of the neighbor who is “harmless” that wanders the neighborhood with a cup constantly trying to bum cigarettes off of people.  He was sitting in the carport when we came from the back yard and scared me to death!

In other news.. I did a “hybrid” ish project yesterday.  I took a picture and totally forgot to upload it!  It is really simple but I think it turned out cute!  I love adding little things that make our home special.  I worry that the new house won’t have the same “special” feel.  I have to remind myself that the house I am in now looked ROUGH when I moved in and now it looks super cute.  This new (old) house is in much better condition overall.

So I’m excited.. and overwhelmed.  So much to do… *sigh*

What’s up with me?

Well, I was married on Oct 1st, 2009 to a great guy named John Antony Millan. He’s a sweetheart and I thank God every day for pushing us together from just acquaintances to more. Ok, let me correct that.. God and my mom, who was determined to see us together from the point that I filed for divorce to the day that she invited him to lunch with us and abandoned him at my house… for five hours. Very subtle, mom. Caitlyn is still adjusting to the change. She loves Tony. He is great with her. He’s having to learn that her feelings are very sensitive, but other than that it’s going well. Also, I may be moving from one house in my neighborhood to another. I go to check it out today… we’ll see how dumpy it looks.

What am I up to now?

Well, I am still working for “the man” which equals my dad. I’m enjoying it. I go to a CA conference this weekend. All in all I really enjoy it. I think I will enjoy the chance to take a trip to Target even more. Another thing I am working on is starting up a new business making birth announcements, wedding announcements and holiday cards! I REALLY want to get this off the ground, so wish me luck!
