Cutting my hair
I noticed recently that my hair is down to my butt again. That length is really too long for me, so I think it is cutting time. I am considering donating it. This time it is layered so I don't know if I can donate it or not. Just checked the locks of love website and they do accept layered hair. So I think I may do just that. Need to set up an ( Read more... ) -
Theme Challenge
So I came across this challenge on Deviant Art and I thought I might try it, the challenge is actually for artists but I thought I might try it for writing poems. We shall see how it goes. I am not sure how quickly I will go through this, we shall see. I have edited the rules and so forth in it to fit for poetry.

Getting better
Things are finally coming together. Our basement sealer guy is willing to put in the sump system and drain tiles, and is willing to finance it all with us. Kevin shopped around and found a good deal on furnaces, the company we are planning on using will install two furnaces for us and is willing to finance the cost with us. The furnaces will be ( Read more... ) -
Breeding
When it comes to the breeding of dogs I have some very decided opinions on the whole matter. Many people in what is considered "civilized society" believe that dog breeding should not happen and that potential pet owners should adopt from animal shelters. And while I think this is an excellent idea, Kevin and I have never done so. I am personally ( Read more... ) -
Updates: More fun with the house
So, since we have closed on the house we have had more fun with it. The furnace for the house is not working, so we have been heating the place with space heaters. The food disposal for the sink was cracked so we had to replace that as well. We got all the cabinets in though and all the appliances except for the dishwasher and the microwave hood.

Closing craziness
After everything that has happened with the house situation along the way we finally got a closing date for Monday (3 days ago). So Monday morning we call up our loan officer to get from him the total amount of money that we need to bring to the closing. He tells us that the packet has not gotten to the title office yet (where we have to close) and ( Read more... ) -
Clear to Close
We finally got the clear to close last night, and the seller's lawyer scheduled us for a Monday closing. It makes me feel a lot better. I was getting pretty bad yesterday after finding out that we wouldn't be closing on Friday. With us closing on Monday it takes a big chunk out of our vacation time, but at least we will still be able to take it ( Read more... ) -
If I don't look at it, then it won't look at me
I know I haven't posted lately. Mostly it is to keep all the thoughts running through my head from coming out. Last week I had people from church help me pack some of my stuff. This week I could have them over, but I just don't feel like dealing with the stress of it all. This week should be our closing for the new house. But the underwriter is ( Read more... ) -
Self Censorship
This morning I read an article that a friend linked on facebook. The article is about Cleanflicks and other movie editing things. The article is written by a professor at Utah Valley State College, a college that is based in Provo, Utah. The College also shares the town with BYU ( Read more... ) -
Tick Tock
Time is counting down and this is the last week. Our closing deadline is November 8th, just 5 days away. And we still have not heard from the underwriter yet. I am getting a bit nervous and more than a little upset with our loan guy. Yesterday he sent Kevin an e-mail that said the following ( Read more... )
