Good Morning! 

I am so excited this morning that my husband Doug is finally coming home! He has been away on business for the past couple of weeks and this morning I am going to pick him up at the airport.  

So, I am leaving the blogging up to you my readers….chat amongst yourselves, and I’ll check in later on in the day…that is, if I am able to….who knows how busy I will be :)

Enjoy yourselves!  I know I will.

Hi ZL:  Loved reading a little bit about you!  Thanks for sharing. How is the house coming along?  Our open house went well yesterday.  Oh…I realized I never gave the MLS for our house for sale.  For those of you readers interested,  our MLS # is: 40338736

    Michelle you beat me to it again. Oh well, I’ll get another comment in after I read todays post. Here is my response to yesterday’s questioneer.

    Hi Michelle: And how are you today? Any luck with Sunday’s open house? I am wondering what is happening with our out of town friends and with your team as well, any clues you can give me?

    Sure. I’ll answer this. Why not?

    1. What time did you get up this morning? 6:00am, I’m a light sleeper, first crack of dawn and I’m up.

    33. What was the last thing you ate? A granola bar, blueberry.
    34. Do you wish on stars? Not really, can’t see many stars due to the bright anti-crime lights. I do contemplate things while staring at the moon.

    37. Last person you spoke to on the phone? George, a friend who owes me some money, he called to tell me he is moving out of state. I know to never loan what I cannot afford to give away, but in this case I was flat out lied to, and it is a hefty sum. Bye-Bye George.
    39. Favorite soft drink? Arizona green tea, I never drink sodas.

    51. What did you do last night? Laundry and some meditating.
    52. Favorite smells? Fresh breath and clean pussy.
    53. What are you afraid of? Finding Barry dead in bed. But that can’t happen, he just suffers a lot, So I guess it would be something happening to my father or one of my brothers. Dad is 84, and Bryan suffers with MS, my brother in law Bill has cancer all over his body.

    55. How many years at your current job? What job?
