Trying to post more often. Not that I have more to say. Well, actually I do right now.

Yesterday I bought a plane ticket to visit my brother and sister in law in California in a mere three weeks! Yay! I love that I don’t have to wait very long. I got a really cheap plane ticket that’s non-stop. Very exciting. And even more excitingly, my brother informed me that we’re going to Disneyland while I’m there and even more excitingly, he’s buying my Disneyland ticket as a birthday present. Yay! And my sis-in-law and I will have tea also. We’ve gone to high tea twice, once at a perfect little English teahouse near their old apartment in Pasadena, and once at the Ritz here in New Orleans. So I’m excited to go again.

I’ve been obsessing about the house we looked at last weekend. I desperately want it. I hope if we don’t get it, it’s because of something that totally puts me off, like major termite damage. Always a distinct possibility in New Orleans. Or sinking. Also possible. But I’m going to just keep my fingers crossed. And pray that no one else looks at it. Just my luck, someone would go see it today and put in an offer. But can’t think about that.

I even went to Home Depot last night and looked at paint samples. I mean, I have the entire house decorated already, and this is not healthy! My disappointment will be terrible if it doesn’t work out. Must not think about it… yeah, right.

But, if it does work out, (and hey, it could happen!), then we could put an offer in this weekend and things could move pretty fast from there. By next week, we should know one way or another. Aaagh!
