The newspaper in our area had a very good editorial that helps to explain what it is about : On Memorial Day
So I send out my thanks to my family members who have served & especially my dad. Love you.

I have just been working a lot, but that is nothing new………..lol It just seemed as if I couldn’t find time to post. =)
We put down 1st month’s rent for the house. We will be moving by the end of the month. I’m feeling torn between being nervous about them not cleaning & fixing up the house as well as they should to looking forward to getting ourselves settled.
I’m not looking forward to the moving part at all. But I am looking forward to having 3 bedrooms, 2 car garage, a dinning room, fenced in back yard & pool. I’m anxious to get settled in & stocked up for hurricane season that begins Wed.
I’m also starting to worry about having enough time to pack, move & clean this place while working.
They hadn’t painted it very well when we looked at & I don’t think they plan on redoing it. But they did say that they would remburse us for the paint if we did it. We are going to see if it is ok for doing different colors. other then white.
If we sign a 2 yr lease I’ll feel comfortable enough to unpack my stuff for my china cabinet. I want to be able to be settled for a couple of years at least. Then we’ll see what we are doing.
I still want to move to the Pacific NorthWest. I really miss the moutains & I’m so not looking forward this summer heat that started up few weeks ago….too damn sticky.

Just started the last esipode of LOST….dang, we’ve already jumped a couple of times.
We had found a house that we really had liked Monday & was approved until they found out that we had cats. One of the owners is allergic to dogs so he said no to cats, yet it was listed for pets. =( So they fixed the listing but now we are out of getting that one.
Harold took me to another house that he had looked at with the realtor yesterday. It has a lot of space & in ground pool w/a privacy fence. It is in an extremely nice area but it is the house in the neighborhood that no one wants to live by cuz the previous tenants ran it down. They property manager is currently in the process of fixing it up. It has a LOT of potential & we love the potential that it has. It is going to come down to, of course, them approving us & what they do to fix it up. We will see within the next few days.
Hopefully I’ll actually get some sleep tonight, didn’t get crap last night even though I was exhausted. I did end up with a 20min power nap today & helped me feel better. But I don’t have the option of sleeping in tomorrow………early morning for work, so I took a PM & will head to bed as soon as our show is over.
That is my life as of today. =)

Harold started our search for a new place to live. I’m so not looking forward to this whole process….the looking, that scams on the application fees….it is crazy. At lest in Indiana you can start your looking months in advance, can’t do that here. Has to be 2-4 weeks before you need a place & that stresses us out big time. We like to have ourselves situtated ASAP so we know what is going on & how to prepare. Doesn’t help that we HATE moving.
We did look at a very nice duplex it has 3 bedrooms, screened in porch and kind of a courtyard area at the front door. It is really nice & roomy, even enough room to have my dinning room table up in the kitchen. But we shouldn’t even count on it until we get through the process. I just hope we find something soon so we don’t have to stress it.
On a political note: Cheney’s Betrayal
**I love the fact that ones who are suppose to protect the Constitution and the checks & balances put forth by our founding fathers are destroying the basic elements of our country. That is sad. =(

It is humid as heck. But we are so tired of the air condition we shut it off for the day & opened all the windows. But I don’t think it is going to last much longer…………..nope didn’t last. Too sticky & I never want to do anything when I’m sticky, even if it is just emails & writing.
I started my letters to my family members, it has been a long while. I’ve sent cards to let them know that I’ve been thinking of them, but no real letters. Looks like they will be about 15 pages long on average………lol I just need to finish them up.
I did get laundry & emails done, even made spaghetti for lunch. And we watched Garfield the movie……lol I know it got panned & the him dancing was bad, but I did enjoy it. I am silly that way………grin Then rewatched Shrek 2, my favorite part is when they are trying to get into the castle with Mongo the large gingerbread man…..I think it is the music. I’ve always loved that song since I heard when I was about 10. I need to get the sound track to that movie……..grin
Now that it is cooling down, I think I’m going to enter a few receipts & balance my check book.
