Why I love fall

You can use this without being eaten alive and sweating your rump off. However you do have to wear a helmet to protect yourself from the missiles, we call acorns falling from above.

The joys of being a housewife

I have learned that I really do love being a housewife. I enjoy the challenge of stretching our money and keeping a clean house and cooking meals. I found chicken on sale for .49 a lb and apparently someone took a picture of me preparing it to freeze. My huge freezer is almost full. My food storage is quite complete also. Conversation with Anya the other day:
Me: Anya do you want your hot do whole or cut into circles with a toothpick?
Anya: I want it on hot dog bread(roll).
Me: We don't have any
Anya: Yes we do.
Me: No we don't
Anya: Yes we do it's in the basement
Me: No we don't we used up all the hot dog buns
Anya: Mom we have everything in the basement!

I am actually quite proud that she thinks that!

I think we may be homeowners, again

We have been looking for a house for a few months. Ed decided he is going to stay active duty in the military. We were thinking about getting out but the economy plummeted and it makes us a little nervous. Plus in his career field right now they are offering and pretty sweet bonus. So we are staying here and have made and offer on a house. The offer was accepted and now we just need to get it inspected and close. I am so excited. It is the first and only house we looked at. I know a little crazy, but for some reason none of the other houses we had to look at would let us in. All the lock boxes were broken. Maybe it was divine intervention?! When Ed first showed me this house I looked at the pictures online and said NO WAY!! It is super ugly. I walked inside and fell in love instantly. This is a house I could grow old in. I probably won't though. So after we close I will put up pictures and you can see my ugly from the outside, perfect house.
