It's Friday!

The inspections went well! YAY for us. Seems now we just have to wait for the appraisal and then once the loan is secured we are IN. Although we are pre-approved, things can still go wrong...so I'm just not going to worry about it. (yeah, right!) If it's meant to be, it's meant to be...and if not...oh well.

I hope you all have a great 4th of July! Those of you across the pond? You can still have a great 4th, and 5th and...well you get the point, right?

Here's my Friday fill-ins....enjoy!

1. When I heard Michael Jackson was dead, I was shocked.

2. Spankings are best medicine.

3. It's late, but I always watch Will and Grace before bed.

4. Bossman is my soul mate, always.

5. My eyes have seen the work of God, and it was a miracle.

6. Bossman used the wooden spoon this week strongly.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to hanging out with the family, tomorrow my plans include a 4th of July BBQ with my sister and family and Sunday, I want to just hang out with Bossman!

Updates

The wildchild didn't get into American Idol. She was there all day long and she said her group had a bunch of amazing singers and none of them got through. We knew it was a long shot. I am so proud of her. She has wanted to try out for years and every year there is a problem. She finally did it. It's too bad she didn't get through, but that's the breaks!

Other news....

D is doing GREAT! She's been on an experimental drug and she goes back to Houston in July to see how well it's working...BUT... she got a blood test back and the numbers were the lowest they've ever been! She was so happy she was crying! She had to tell me right away that it was good news because she was crying so much. So we are extremely happy with this news! We will know for sure how things are going in July. She has a friend that has been on this drug for 2 years and she is virtually cancer free. We are all very encouraged with this good news!

More news....

We are having all the inspections on the house today. So, if those are are good, we will be 95% home owners. Things can still go wrong with the loan, but our morgage guy seems to think everything will be fine. So, I'm getting excited. Our own house? I never thought it would happen. Of course, now that I'm getting excited and dreaming of painting and decorating...NOW something will fall through...right? Well, all I can do is hope and pray that it all turns out ok! I want this house! I can't wait to move into it.

Spanking news...

OUCH! Have I mentioned that spankings hurt? It's been a little while since I got one and uh, yeah, it's true what they say....spankings hurt worse if you haven't had one for awhile. Or maybe I'm just a wuss! OR, maybe it was the damn wooden spoon. But the good news is, we are still doing the spanking thing. And I am happy about it! Although, now that I think about it, I'm not so happy about it when he's actually doing it. No, I'm not happy about it at all. I'm ashamed to admit this but... I do whine and complain. I know, you are shocked by this revelation. I'm sure you are thinking that it's not possible that I whine and complain. I'm sure you thought that I take my spankings like a lady. HA! You couldn't be further from the truth. I'm sorry to burst your bubbles, but I can't help it.

Well, I guess that's all the updating I have for now. Are any of you as surprised as I am that it is already July? Where does the time go?

So, that's my update! How are you? What have you been doing this summer? Am I the only one that thinks spankings hurt?

V day

Today is the V's! Only 4 weeks of gratitude Tuesday left. Hard to believe that we've almost finished the alphabet. I've had fun with it!

So, let's see if I can think of V words that I am grateful for.

Vests? Nope, not really grateful for vests.
Valentines day? Uh, no. I think that is a dumb holiday that is just making the card companies rich. Why do we need a day to celebrate love? I think we should do that everyday!

I do like my vaccumm. We have a kirby...which is like the king of all vaccumms. It's so powerful that it's messed up the padding under the old carpet in our house. The carpet is super old...but still.

Villages are cool. When I was a child we lived in Germany. The villages are so cute there. You can be on the highway and then suddenly you go through a small village. I miss that.

I do like a good vacation. Unfortunately it doesn't look like there are any vacations on the horizon for me. That's what happens when you buy a house. You have no money left.

I totally got into the Twilight seris so now I am in love with vampires! That Edward Cullen pushed all my buttons!

Out of all the flavors of ice cream in the world, I'm a true vanilla at heart! (hard to believe huh?)

I do love our vehicles. There was a time, not that long ago, that our vehicles sucked and we could barely make it across town!

I can't wait until this house is vacant!

What kind of girl would I be if I wasn't grateful for my vagina?

I love visiting Vegas! My SIL is there, (update on her tomorrow) and it's just fun. But my favorite part of Vegas? The valet parking!

So, I guess that's it for our V's! I thought it was going to be hard, but it turns out that it was easy once I got started.

The wildchild is in LA, as you read this, trying out for American Idol. Of course we all know that the chances are slim that she will make it on the show, but who knows what could happen. She has a beautiful voice, but they only give you about 30 seconds to wow them before they move you on. You have to jump through about 5 hoops and if you manage to pass through all of them...you get an audition with Simon and the gang. If the wildhchild does manage to pass through all the hoops tomorrow, she won't get the auditon with the gang until 3 or 4 weeks from now.

I know the wildchild can make it in the music industry. But she has to work hard at it and get in with the right people. Of course we all know how hard it is to make it in that industry, so.... who knows!

In any case, she's having quite an experience. She and her friend are planning on being there at 3 in the morning. Whatever happens, she'll have quite a story to share.

That's it for today...now go out and be grateful!

TGIF

Happy Friday Everyone!

1. She had a great set of knockers. (At least I think Bossman would say that about me...LOL)

2. Bossman is by my side, always.

3. I know this: Buying a house is stressful business!

4. Life is good, still.

5. These words apply to me: Stressed, happy, healthy and tired.

6. The day I got married the sun was shining.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to having the youth group over, tomorrow my plans include hanging out with Bossman and Sunday, I want to try to not worry about the wildchild, who is heading to LA to try out for American Idol!

Guess what?

Looks like we are in escrow!

Ok, I'm not sure what that means. I mean, I know that I signed some papers saying I wanted to buy a house and I guess that means we are getting the house unless.....

We have 17 days to back out of the deal if we want to. We also have 17 days to get the inspection and the pest report. If both of those things check out well, the house will be ours. Unless the bank changes their mind and decides not to lend us money after all. So, yeah. The house is almost ours! I won't count on anything until I have the keys in my hot little hand!

~other news~

I don't have any other news. There haven't been any spankings lately, but then again, I've been a complete angel, so there has been no need to get a spanking. ;)

If I must be truthful...well, we just haven't had any time to think about spanking. Summer is here, so the little man is home a lot more and Bossman has been super busy with work and his band. Of course there is this little thing of buying a house that has us both a little stressed!

I'm not worried though. Bossman hasn't lost interest, we just haven't had the time. So, everything is good.

Now, who's coming over to help me pack???

You, you, you, you, you...I wanna talk about U!

Can you believe we are already on the U's? Seems like yesterday we begain this little journey to gratefulville!

I know today is the U's. I am grateful for things like Umbrellas, unicorns and underwear. (especially when pulling them down...LOL) I also am in love with unicycles, ukelelies and uncles.

But really I am grateful for U! I know, I should save this for a few weeks when we are on the Y's, but when you are grateful for something, why should you put it off. Tell the world, I say!

So, I'd just like to say that I am grateful for all of U. U make this blog fun. I am comfortable telling U things about my life knowing that U all will be supportive. I can bounce things off of U and U will tell me your opinions. I may not always answer my comments, but I read them and I think about them and sometimes I even take your advice. So even though we may not be real life friends, we are real life friends. I take from here and use it in my every day life.

So thank U all! U all are the best! I appreciate U all!

Now go...be grateful!

the weekend

Bossman went out of town this weekend. A business associate gave him VIP tickets to the Nascar race. Since there was only two tickets I decided to stay home with the little man and Bossman took his father to the race. They left on Saturday and didn't come home until 1am on Monday morning. The little man and I went to the movies on Saturday night and we ended up going to the zoo on Sunday. It was nice spending time with my little man, but I sure did miss Bossman.

So that was my weekend....

My sister came back from her trip to see our father. I haven't spoken to her yet, but she did post pictures on facebook. Since I am nosey curious, of course, I took a peek. Weird thing.... After seeing them, I realized something very important. I realized that I have no need to go visit him. I have no need to see him. As I looked at the pictures it made my stomach hurt. I didn't get a warm fuzzy feeling. I was looking at a stranger. I was surprised that I had that gut reaction when I saw the picture of him. I've since gone back and looked again and I still get the same reaction. I guess that means I don't really need him right now.

Maybe someday. But for now, I think I'll just not worry about it.

~house news~

We have put an offer in on a different house. We got a counter offer and I think we are going to accept the offer. We want to go look at the house again before we sign anything and I think that is going to happen today or tomorrow.

We found out the other house had a price drop. We also found out that there is a problem with that house that will cost 20 grand to fix. Oh yeah, 20 grand! Thank goodness we didn't sign up for that house. The only way that house would work for us is if they drop the price 20 grand. I have a feeling that house will be on the market a long time!

That's what going on over in Graceland. Things are busy, life is good.

How's your summer going so far???

Friday fill-in

1. All children alarm their parents, if only because you are forever expecting them to listen to you.

2. Show me a good loser and I will show you a good game to play.

3. A good spanking with sex after is like eating an entire box of chocolate liqueurs at one time. (Filling, but satisfying....)

4. Too bad that all the people who know how to run the country are busy giving TV interviews and not left alone to do the job.

5. I have yet to hear a man ask for advice on how to combine boobs and butts.

6. It is impossible to think of any good meal, no matter how plain or elegant, without sauce or pasta in it.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to finishing up vacation bible school, tomorrow my plans include taking the little man to the drive-in and Sunday, I want to take the little man to the beach!

I'd like to wish all the Fathers a very happy Fathers day for this Sunday. We all know where I stand with my father, so I like to celebrate the father of my children on Fathers day. Bossman was lucky enough to score some Nascar tickets for this Sunday. One of his associates gave him two VIP tickets. Since the race is in Sonoma, which is roughly 5 hours from me, I decided not to go with Bossman. He's going to take his father with him, which I think is a perfect way for him to celebrate Fathers day! They are leaving Saturday night and won't be home until late Sunday. Therefore, I get to spend some time with my little man this weekend.

I hope you all have a great weekend!
