So we found a house. We put in an offer yesterday afternoon. We gave the owners until Wednesday to respond to it. I won't say more :)
Apparently though I take nauseating videos.
I switched the slideshow to the left from Xmas pictures to ones I took from our trip to Disney for our anniversary last month. Picasa/Blogger finally recognised the album.

Happy Birthday honey!
I think Andrew had a good birthday. Everyone came except Justin. I can only assume he forgot. We didn’t quite stay up all night watching moves, but it was pretty late before the last person left. Up again early to make breakfast. I’m not a super-cook, so Andrew didn’t get the elephant or giraffe pancakes he asked for, but he did get silver-dollar-Mickeys. With weird ear tumors. And lopsided. Lauren & Paige came over to eat. Dinner came out good too. The fam showed up as did all the guys & Lauren. Paige showed up late, ate, and left which I thought was a little weird, but whatever. I’m not sure our friends grasp the idea of a “pot luck”.
We house hunted on Sunday. I’m getting a little frustrated. Kenley keeps showing us houses in this one neighborhood, but it’s not near anything. It just seems so far away. I have to do some research today. Andrew says its close to TCC, but all I keep thinking is that it is going to take me an hour to get home at night.

So I found this awesome site about terrible cakes. It’s called Cake Wrecks: When Professional Cakes Go Horribly, Hilariously Wrong
She has this awesome description of hockey:
“See, apparently they play this sport on ice - but they have to make sure the ice is really thick, or else their cleats will scuff it all up. The players wear lots of padding and helmets, and carry little butterfly nets on sticks with which to hit the ball around. The object of the game is to score a triple Hail Mary - which is just another name for a running slam dunk - and consists of knocking three other players down while simultaneously dunking the ball through one of the red rings. Players known as running backs try to kick the ball, but the other team's catchers use their heads and butterfly nets to deflect the ball away from their side's field goal. Any running backs who are able to push the other team's running backs out of the big circle in the middle get what's called a free throw, in which they're allowed to chuck the ball at the head of their least favorite player. If they miss, their team only scores a half-down, but if the ball hits the other player, they score a hole-in-one.”“There was also some stuff about yard lines, birdies, and triple-axles, but I kind of zoned out at that point. Still, I think I just may have to check out a hockey game some day; John tells me every time the pitcher serves a kill-shot, the mascot serves hot chocolate. How cool is that?!?”

So, I’ve decided that I don’t really like Tasty Pastry. I ordered (or thought I ordered) cupcakes for Andrew. I wanted as many different kinds of cake as I could get, but I really only needed one cupcake or so of each kind. They were all like “sure!” and wrote it down. I got a call yesterday that my “order” was ready. Apparently they only had two kinds of cupcake for me, not the original 5 I had “ordered”. She said they only had the two because they didn’t make any of the other kinds of cake all week. So, I can’t just get a cupcake? I needed to have ordered more to warrant baking anything!? Why have me order anything if you weren’t going to actually make it? After I picked up my “order” I drove on down to Heidi’s Bakery and got other stuff (probably better stuff) that is a surprise. Pfft. I use Heidi’s from now on. It’s too bad Heidi’s was closed on Monday or I could have avoided all this in the first place.
And really, I should have done all the making of the things yesterday, but the stupid power was out until this morning. I am so behind.

Lots of links and rain!
We, and by “we” I mean “Andrew” finally did our taxes. We, and by we I mean “we”, had a moment of panic when the IRS rejected the efile. It was all my fault. It said my name wasn’t right and I just about had a panic attack (not really, but I was deeply concerned that the name change stuff I did a year ago hadn’t stuck). It turned out that there was a typo on the form. It was trying to match me to a “wakins”. Whew. Crisis averted.
Speaking of averted crises, Friday has opened up and will now be less stressful. We aren’t meeting Kenley anymore, so we’ll be able to sleep just a touch more. Woo!
So, I didn’t think the car was as dirty as God did. Man did it rain yesterday night (and all day today so far)! It rained so hard I couldn’t see Lauren’s building from our house. It’s only like 100-150 yards away. Sheesh! I like Florida. You can see the rain coming. I remember once in Penwood I think, that we were outside looking at Doak and in like 2 seconds it disappeared. That rain was hauling! We got back inside real quick. I always liked that at Pap’s house too. The trees in the pasture would disappear and then the rain would start at the house. I guess it’s like that in other places besides Florida, I just haven’t experienced it. Another thing that is way cool is when you are at the beach and there is a storm coming. I love how you can see the edge. It’s prettiest at sunrise when it’s all pink and purple and stormy.
