I'll try to keep this short...

We're buying a house (YAY), which is super exciting! What's not exciting is dealing with banks (it's a foreclosure), mortgage brokers, and Real Estate Agents.. well, my RE Agent has been pretty great, actually. She's the only one that's been keeping us sane through this fucked up process.

We were originally supposed to close on April 27th.. and then we were supposed to close on May 5th.. and then 15th.. and now, FINALLY, I have a solid appointment set for 11AM Friday morning to sign on the dotted line. Through all this I've scheduled (and canceled) time off at work 3 times and we've been living out of boxes since about mid-April, because for once in my life I decided not to leave everything for the last minute. Ugh.

Utilities and amenities, like my Internet access and TV, have been shut off anticipating the move.. 2 weeks ago. Fortunately I was smart enough not to switch over the gas & electric, it's been over 100 here in Vegas for about a week and we would all be dead from heat strokes by now

ALL of my clay stuff, jewelry stuff, art supplies -- THE WHOLE LOT OF IT -- has been packed since April 18th and I'm having serious withdrawals. Not to mention I've been so cranky, crabby, temperamental, and stressssssssssed without my creative outlets

While I'm over here at my Mom's house hogging up teh interwebz, I just want to say THANK YOU for all the recent 's, 's and dA

I plan to come back to DA once I'm all settled in.. with tons of new stuff to share
