Happy Thoughts

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! The comments about the "No Kids Club" made me feel a lot better about our decision to wait!

We're leaving for Tucson tomorrow morning. Hurray. :) The Tucson desert apparently has beautiful wildflowers in the spring and we'll be there during the blooming peak. :)

We're going to see a house in Hanna City tonight. Its on 1.68 acres and is near the bottom of our price range (for a change!). The house is a tri-level (indifferent) and clearly needs some love (flooring, paint, etc) but the yard is is huge and appears fabulously flat (we've seen lots of '3 acre' properties that are actually 2.99 acres of steep ravine and .01 acres of flat yard). It also has a huge outbuilding (think garage/shop) which Josh likes the idea of. We'll see.

Update: The Beverly Hillbillies live next door. And the house and outbuilding were rougher than we had hoped for. And its overpriced, even though the price has already dropped 30K! Next!

My wonderful husband cleaned the entire house on Sunday while I went shopping. :)

My shopping adventure on Sunday included stocking up on 80 rolls of Bounty Basic Paper Towel. Walgreens has it on sale for $.79/roll this week and there are P&G coupons from the beginning of March for $1/2 (thecouponclippers was out when I looked so I ordered them off ebay). This made them only $.29/roll. I pay $1.44/roll at Sams.

And perhaps the best part....I'm going home from work right now...and I don't have to be back for a whole week!

please please teach me how to shop. obviously I have much to learn, including patience, because I can't even wait like an extra day for something if it's going to go on sale.
