various bits and pieces
Today we will be talking about television shows. In particular, Prison Break. First of all, Wentworth Miller cannot possibly be any hotter than he already is. And…well, that’s all I wanted to say, actually.
Miss Devylish posted a very well-written entry about the Katrina anniversary, and I encourage you to go read it immediately. I would have written something very similar, had I not already written about (sort of) peeing my pants. I have priorities and values, you guys. Don’t make me compromise them.
One of my troops is heading up a dunk tank fundraiser for our unit. Because she feels that calling it simply "dunk tank fundraiser" would be painfully boring, she asked each of us in the shop to provide a catchy slogan. My suggestion was ‘Grab Your Balls and Get Someone Wet’. I believe that is what she is going with…and yes, I will take full credit.
And finally, we have not yet had any offers on the house, and this is forcing me to endure endless anxiety filled moments. Apparently everyone in the entire neighborhood is also selling their house, and while we are STILL the lowest in our area, there is just so much to choose from. Stupid buyers market. You guys, let me just say that not selling our house before we move to Germany would absolutely suck. In fact, I’m not even sure what we would do at that point. Of course, every time an agent brings prospective buyers over and they don’t make an offer I take it personally, because it’s my HOUSE and I love it, and I want to scream at Mr. and Mrs. No McOfferton that the only reason we are selling is because we are moving to a different country and if you don’t want my house then FINE it’s YOUR LOSS and the house didn’t like you ANYWAY. It’s frustrating and a wee bit scary and definitely very nerve wracking, and if it takes too much longer I’m quite positive I will be offering to pay someone to take it off our hands just so I can sleep at night and stop sending John emails that go like this:
Hi how was your day today, I really miss youHAVEWESOLDTHEHOUSEYET?????
He likes those emails, by the way. I just get tired of sending them.
37 days.
Auf Wiedersehen!!!
