Well, we’ve headed to Grand Junction on an exploratory trip, and of course, nobody will rent to us with six animals. Woe! I don’t want to try to buy a house on the spur of the moment… that’s something we really want to take our time with. So, the solution that has presented itself is to buy an RV (5th wheel) and live in it until we pay it off, then find a house to buy.
What is going to be entertaining is living in a 30′-35′ RV with four cats. We haven’t definitely decided on this course of action, but the more we talk about it, the more it seems like the right option. Especially since we have to move next week.
Yes, I’m still here! Chaos and insanity abound, but things are going well. Except we don’t have a place to live yet. Hard to move if you have nowhere to move into! If you live in the Grand Junction area and are willing to rent to nice people with a lot of pets, let me know!
Off to continue my search for a nice place to live… but I’ll leave you with my happy list for the day.
Here, in random order, are five things that make me happy.
A Chinese restaurant opening up within walking distance of my house (mmmm sweet and sour chicken)!
The vet filling my prescription for kitty cat sedatives. That will make the drive much easier on everyone.
Ice cream. Yum!
The weather finally warming up enough to sleep with the windows open.
Taking walks with my dogs.
I’ll be back posting as soon as I can, and I’ll try to keep everyone updated!
Finding out Brian only has 3 more days of overtime, then back to normal schedule.
Crossing things off of my “To Do before we move” list.
New sunglasses today!
Here is a fun movie for anyone interested in Spore… I’ve been waiting for this game for over three years now. This is only a taste, but I’m loving it so far!
This is “Frogspot”, one of my first attempts at creating a new creature. Enjoy!
Sorry I haven’t been updating as often, but it’s been a bit chaotic around here. We’ve found out we have about three weeks to move, so I’ve been running around like crazy trying to get stuff accomplished (and failing, of course).
Needless to say, I’m a bit of a nutcase right now. I will post an update next week, promise!
Ah, what a great day for a Monday. Except I have to pack and I can’t find boxes. Isn’t moving fun? I’m excited about moving, but not about the actual process, if you know what I mean. We moved at least once a year when I was a kid, and I just got heartily sick of packing, unpacking and re-packing all my stuff. I wish I could just snap my fingers and have it all packed, moved and unpacked in the new place.
If only.
Ok, it’s Monday, and Monday means it’s time for a new Happy List! So here, in no particular order, are five things that make me happy:

Done! I dyed the singles and then plied them together on Linda’s spinning wheel. Very simple dye job… black cherry and grape Kool-Aid, dumped one on each side of the pot. there is a teeny bit of difference in the two, and it showed up when I plied them together.
See? Yarn! Now I just need to figure out what to knit with it. Not sure how many yards are there, but I’m sure it’s not many. Maybe a simple hat. We’ll see.
