Take...luck! Take luck and care. Take care of the luck. Good luck taking care of the luck that you might have...if you have luck, take it, care for it. TAKE LUCK CARE OF IN IT WHEN YOU TAKE LUCK CARE OF IN IT

I'm a displaced Southern girl. I once ate eight bowls of Cheerios so I could get the nutrition of one bowl of Total. A friend and I rented movies at Blockbuster because we forgot we didn't have a VCR. When I was nine, I tried teaching my dog to speak – English. Bees don't scare me, but every other type of bug does. I once considered selling my wedding dress for 75 boxes of Girl Scout cookies. My husband and I argue more about punctuation than we do about anything else. Any other burning questions, just ask!

SOLD!

We closed on our house today.

And over the weekend, we put in an offer on the house we found last week. I think there's a good chance we'll get it, but we have to wait and see how far the sellers are willing to come down. Their bottom line is a little bit above our top line, and we're willing to give a little bit more if we have to, but first we want to give it some time and see how much they're willing to give. I think we have a good chance, but I'm trying (in vain) not to get too attached to the house.

Unfortunately, seeing it again today -- especially alongside the other two leading contenders -- really emphasized how nice it is and how much better it is than any other house we've looked at. I liked it already, but after going through it with J.'s parents today, I like it even more. In fact, I really really want it! I'm very hopeful that we'll get it, and I think it's a strong possibility, but it might be a week or two before we know.

I don't know if I can wait that long.

Yippeee! Now, did you take pics of the new house? Not that I expect you to post them but when your offer is approved (gotta think positive) you will be able to look at them and make plans. That's the fun part of waiting for the closing. When we buy a house I have already started nesting even before we close on it.

If God wants you to get this house, you will get it.

Kathy just finished decorating our house... we have one room left to do. She wants to know if you want to be on Trading Spaces with us. If so, we'll work out the distance thing later.

Good luck with the offer. Just wanted to let you know I was thinking about you.

PS - Not only to you beat UofL, but now you're #8 in the county in football?!?!? I think I might have to leave the state.
