Where's the cable?


So this weekend, some friends came over to help me put my craft room together and I actually remembered to take some pictures of the before and during (the after hasn't happened yet)and then I can't find the cable to download the pics to the computer!!!!
Actually, they came to help with the craft room because I bribed them with access to all my paper and tools. We ended up setting a table in the living room and making invites to a Halloween party that is coming up. It now looks like a paper shredder exploded in the living room. You will have to imagine it until the cable shows up......
I finally gave up and just bought a costume at Evil Wal-Mart. I couldn't think of anything good that I could make up. Cee is going as a Gothic mummy? At least that is what she is calling it now.....
Max is going at Count Maxula and I have a good picture of that too!!!!!!!! This whole move thing is so frustrating when I can't find something.....

The hubby is coming!!!

The hubby is coming, the hubby is coming!!!!! Actually, I don't even know if he is breathing hard! but he will be home Oct 9th and will get to see the house for the very first time. Since I am still experiencing buyer's remorse, I have been working like a maniac to get it ready. On Wednesday, the first shipment of household goods was delivered and so that makes everything else even more complicated!!!! Check out my latest slideshow!

The absolute latest on the house issue.....

I promise that we will not change our mind about the house this time. Ya know why? Because we can't!! Seriously, I must have signed at least 30 pieces of paper today. We are now officially under contract with an approved loan to buy our fixer upper in the country.
I was saying before that I thought I would be sick when this all happened but now I am actually relieved. Its decided, finito, no going back. Now I am relieved. All the paperwork and hassle now belongs to the loan officer. That's why she gets paid the big bucks!!!!
What's funny is that she is used to dealing with military couples and it always seems like the wife who does all the leg work.
BTW, hubby says that I can have a reprieve from looking for a job until Oct. 1. That way I can get everything packed and put away without feeling any stress. :(

House hunting. UGH!!!!

Ok, this house hunting is a total B@tch! Its driving me crazy! Cee and I looked at a house on Monday that was in our price range, had tons of room and storage but needed a little updating. By this, I mean that it needed some new paint, wallpaper removed, carpeting was old, etc. No major structural work required. Thing is that it will take 60 days to get into it and then we will owe hundreds of thousands of dollars. That thought makes me want to puke with anxiety!
Then this morning, I find out that we could conceivably move into a brand new base house at the end of next week. This means that I will get my stuff as soon as it arrives, we will no longer be homeless, etc. This house is smaller, with less storage, no room to do my business, on base, in the wrong school district but available NEXT WEEK.
What to do!!!!!!!!!
Hopefully, all is still on track for the hubby to come in tomorrow and help me decide!
