Yay for Trip Reports!

So, I just finished typing up my trip report from my trip to Florida that I took earlier this month. If you would like to read it, visit here.

Enjoy!

Exciting Days in the Nibbs Household

So, you wanna know how exciting things are for me right now?

Yesterday, Olivia came over. We went to her house for a few minutes, went to Target to buy some supplies (and listened to the music they have at that kiosk there that plays all the fun 80s and 90s music...jamming out to it), and then came back to my house.

But wait, as if that wasn't fun enough...we then sat around my house playing on the internet, she helped me switch WHF and my dresser drawers (my clothes in his dresser and vice versa), and I made dinner for her and my brother.

I really know how to have an amazing time, don't I?


Actually, the weekend wasn't so bad though. WHF and I went to the Ameristar crab leg all you can eat buffet with Olivia and Becker and then gambled a bit. Saturday we rented the movies My Best Friends Girl (an ok movie) and Zach and Miri Make a Porno (which, I actually thought was decent...funny if you like Seth Rogan movies) and we watched those with Olivia. Then Sunday we spent a good portion of the day in bed catching up with our DVR stuff and then we finally got up and went and had amazing deep dish pizza at this local place.

In all...things are just floating along...hopefully, they continue to. :)

I'm already 100?!

So, today was the release of the Be Our Guest Podcast's 100th episode. I can't believe that we've already reached 100 of these things! It seems like we just started doing this yesterday. My life has changed so drastically in the last year all because of the podcast in ways I never thought were possible. I'm so happy I get to live out one of my dreams each and every week.

So, to those of you who do listen...thank you!

It's My Party!

Alright ya'll! It's finally official. I have been keeping up with this blog (granted sometimes sporadically) for a whole year! One year ago today, I decided to jump into this crazy world of blogging after reading so many others for so long. Not bad from a girl who's never been know to ever keep a diary for longer than 3 or so entries! Yay me!!! I'm so proud of myself as this was kind of one of my resolutions last year.

Thank you to all of you who read all about my (sometimes ridiculously boring) life! I appreciate you all taking time out of your day to catch up with me.

Hopefully, I can keep this up for another whole year! (And hopefully, I don't bore you all to tears!)

PS...for those of you on the edge of your seats...I got my computer back today!!! My second Yay of the day!!! Hopefully it works when I get it home. :) Would have gotten it last night, but I got a flat tire on my way home. Which pissed me off because I had just gotten new tires like 6 months ago. Had to get a whole new tire today. Luckily they gave me the tire half off...so that was a help too.

Continuation

So, I talked to my mom this morning and found out why the house deal is going south. It's because the lady who's buying the house is tired of dealing with all the BS that she's going through...with people like the mortgage company and such. She wants to lease to rent it but my parents just can't do that.

But what I don't understand is that she's so close. She was supposed to close on the deal today...what more BS was there to go through then? You are at the freaking finish line? It's like running a marathon and then you get to that last mile where you can't see the finish yet, but know it's there and decide, you know what? I'm not gonna keep going. I'm tired...I quit.

I know it hasn't been easy, but in this time and this market, what did she think it would be? A walk in the park? It's just so frustrating because we were there. The end was in sight and now, we have to try to convince someone if they just run a little bit further, they will have their prize. You're so close...why stop now?

Rundown

Well, another day, another dollar.

I'm back from my Disney trip again. I'll let you all know how it went in a Trip Report that I'll post on wdwmagic.com. I'll link to it when I get it done. :) In all, I had a great time though. It was so nice getting away, even if the weather was better or the same in St. Louis.

A few more catch up things...seems like that's all I've been doing lately, but nothing major is happening, just a lot of small things.

My computer is still out of commission. I had to have Gateway send me a recovery CD, well, apparently the CD didn't work, so I had to contact them again and have them send me another one. Hopefully this next one works...otherwise it might be a problem with the hard drive or the motherboard. Two things that I think will be very expensive. Boo.

Also, things aren't looking good with my parents and selling their house. I don't exactly know what the problem is, but I do know it has to do with the mortgage company. Which is just so frustrating. You have somebody who is willing and able to pay to buy a building and the mortgage company is so scared because of everything they've been though they don't want to take the chance. Isn't that what a mortgage company is for though? To lend money to people? Why cut everything off? It's just making everything in this country worse and if this keeps up for too much longer, this recession we're in will be like the hole that just keeps getting deeper and deeper. Then it will look like there's no way out.

My Livvy and I have been hanging out a ton, which I love. We went shopping yesterday so she could find a dress for her Valentine's date. Tell me though...how is it I find a dress to wear and she finds nothing. I wasn't even looking! And I wasn't planning on dressing up for Valentine's Day either. lol!

Well, I guess that's about it for now.
