We're moving!!

Into a....a....a...house! Just a rental, but still. I do NOT do well in apartments. For example, the other night our upstairs neighbors were loping around as usual in a manner that always makes me wonder if they do jumping jacks and various physical activities day and night JUST TO PISS ME OFF. Well, I finally snapped; I was in bed when they started dragging something - dead bodies, most likely - around on the floor. I threw back my sleeping mask, pulled the hair wildly from my eyes, jumped straight up and almost knocked the hubby out of bed, and slammed the palm of my hand as hard as I could into the ceiling - their floor - over and over and....well, you get the picture. It took everything Ryan could do and say to stop me. Dammit, it worked! At least for that night. But by then I was so fuming mad I just lay there and stared at the ceiling just daring them to defy me!! Needless to say, I had to move to the spare room or else I would have stared that ceiling down all night long.

So, for my sanity, we're moving. Actually, the house rental was already in the works, but the story tells better this way. And really, I don't think I could have lasted much longer in that smoke friendly, pet friendly apartment.

We found the house on Craigslist on Monday, viewed it on Wednesday, and sign the lease tonight! I will be taking pictures and hosting a contest for decor ideas....contest winner will have the satisfaction of knowing that his/her ideas rescued me from making some really bad decisions.
