Found this interesting
Among a very large pile of logs for firewood there was part of a very large maple tree. I'm not sure how big it was, but it was big. A cross section of it revealed the scars from many many years of maple tapping.

Not so YAY :(
It's been over a month since I've posted on here but last time it was about our offer being accepted on a house. Well, it didn't work out and we've backed out of the contract. I am still kind of mad. We backed out because the inspection did not go well. Basically what you couldn't see was all wrong. The plumbing, some structural issues and some other really costly things to replace.
I'm not angry that we didn't get the house but I am quite irritated all the crap we went through just to not get it. I think we ran into almost any problem that you can (including problems that people don't normally run into), everything was delayed several times and it was just a huge pain in the ass. Excluding the inspection, all of the issues were other people dragging their asses, being dishonest, or just sucking in general. I am happy though that we learned alot, avoided getting ripped off by a few different people and the next one should go a little smoother.......it better.

Yay!
Our offer on the house was accepted. Inspection scheduled and everything else is in the works. I can barely contain myself still even though I've known this for a couple days so I'm just going to leave it at that. So so so HAPPY!!!!!

Long time, No blog
The weather has just been lovely and I have been exhausted trying to keep up with the little...so I haven't been here in what feels like forever.
Not a whole lot has gone on lately we've just been house hunting.
On that tpoic, I think i may have found my little dream home. We put in our bid and now we are just waiting, crossing our fingers, and trying not to get our hopes up. I do really hope that we get this house. It has some little issues but I know in time it can be our perfect little place tucked into the woods. :)

the good the bad and the funny
The Good:
I finally got a sewing machine. I have gone far too long without one. It's sad really. What makes it even better that it was free. It's a hand me down that was barely used. All of the little peices were still sealed up in their little packages. I am thrilled. I needed one so bad. Luckily I had mentioned buying one and someone very sweet said "wait take this one". Gotta love grandmas. :)
The Bad:
We fell in love with a house that we were shown and put in a bid. They countered right away. We put in another (strong) bid and waited. We thought our chances of getting it were good but someone else came along offering cash so they got it. I was quite sad about that one. I wanted that house so bad. It needed a bit of work but it was perfect in my eyes. hmmph. I hope we find another one just as good and soon.
The Funny:
I went and saw Charlie Sheen's live show.
I had no clue what to expect and of course I wondered if we had just wasted a bunch of money on tckets. I actually enjoyed it. Love him or hate him, I thought he was funny and we had a great time. I think that the people who did not enjoy it had expectations. I went with none, so I was not disappointed.
