Not much new...

Isn't it nice to have a peaceful, calm, non-eventful few weeks? I say YES! I have worked my normal schedule, and work has been busy, but my days off have been nice and relaxing. I have done my normal chores, ran a few errands, but have had a lot of down time. I have re-read some Harry Potter books :) Watched a lot of TV. Visited family. But mainly just relaxed. It's been nice. I like not having to worry about crazy schedules, crazy meetings, and crazy work.

John and I are looking forward to a relaxing weekend. Just a few chores and some small errands. John sold a painting this week. He is taking it to his friend right now, as I type. I believe I will try again to plant our pots. It's hard not having a place to bring them indoors if it freezes one night, I have lost many a flower to frost. I have lots of cousins and friends pregnant right now. I was thinking back and there will be two spanking new babies on my moms side of the family this year. There is one on John's side who will deliver any day now. I know a few people at church who are delivering soon too. Must be something in the water.

Completely off topic, Has anyone noticed the pretty orange colors in the stores this year? Who new orange was coming back? I usually don't play into trends right when they come out, but I'm trying to have some color in my waredrobe. I have too much black/gray/browns. So I got me some pretty oranges, pinks, and blues yesterday. Old Navy is great for basics, they usually have some pretty good sales. In fact a dress I bought yesterday for $16 on sale, is have a one day only sale price today of $9. So needless to say I'm going back to get my better deal! Everyone needs a play cotton sun dress!!

One thing I hate about the location of our apartments is the proximity to the interstate. I can't open my windows w/o worrying about the emissions, and having to yell over the noise. I am so ready for a house. Unfortunately our mortgage people say John REALLY needs to have been at his job for exactly 2 years to qualify us for a joint mortgage. It sucks, how do people with horrible credit end up with houses. We have amazing credit, and John is short a few months... No fair. I'm going to try another mortgage company, recommended to me by a friend before I loose hope. Our lease is up in August, but John will not have been at his job for two years until July. One month is not enough time!!!

Well I'm going to run to Lowe's to find my plants!! I'll post pictures soon.
