We've been busy busy busy.
I've been planning the new school year and I'm almost ready for the purchase part. That is always the most exciting (and often nerve wracking) part of the school year. And then the boxes start arriving and you get to go buy new school supplies... sigh, it is just bliss.
Or, I'm a weirdo... that's also possible. lol
Things are going well in Casa de Fibres.
I'm having a website made, that's my big news. WOOHOO! The husband is getting back into the swing of work after the 6 week layoff.
The little found dog's former owners never searched for her as far as I can tell and after seven weeks I am no longer searching for them and I finally feel like she is ours.
We have a moving update... the new plan is to move when our lease is up in November and rent a house there. It's foolish to buy (IMO) without living there for a while anyway and if we have to rent regardless, we might as well rent there and make sure we like it before setting down roots. I will miss the fabulous friends I have made but I guess that's to be expected.
Ok I think that is it for this quick update... I'll be back soon with a link to my brand new website so stay tuned!
Frustration
We are planning on moving, not sure if I have blogged about that but I think I did. We are moving to TX. We were hoping to move by the end of the year. Our apt lease is up in Nov. and we can go month to month but we would have loved to have that be a short term option. But it seemed like pushing the move until Spring 2010 was more realistic.
Now the time off work is eating our savings and pushing back the prospect of moving even further. It is so frustrating. Our apt is small and at first it seemed fine but as time goes on I swear it feels like the rooms are shrinking in on us. I'm so tired of not having my own washer/dryer, esp. today after having a pukey girl last night. I'm sick of putting quarters in the loaded machines to find out after the fact that they are broken. Ugh so many other little annoyances. I do not know how we can possibly live here for another year, year and a half... TWO?!
I'm so tempted to start researching the rental market in TX and just heading out when our lease expires.

Has it really been THAT long since the last entry?
Wow, bad blogger indeed!
I've had a bunch of orders. You can head over to Sole Mate Toys to see some of my recent orders.
There is also a long story involving a new addition... The kids found a dog, so far we can't find the owner so she is here at least for now. We are calling her Pepper.
this is the day they found her
After grooming
I've become the mother of a teenager since my last post. Wish me luck.
I ordered some business stuff from vistaprint and I LOVE IT!
And last but not least... my husband has been home since March 16 with no end in sight. This layoff might be the death of me. ;)

A local real life friend helped me out yesterday. I needed my biz cards tweaked. She is awesome and if you need any graphics work done or website design... or anything you should go to Cara Creates now!
