It only took me a few months but I think I actually figured it out! This is an awsome idea. Thank you so much Dulcy. I am stoked about you and your new man. I heard through the mill that you were planning on meeting a man on your trip. I guess it's true what they say, ' If you can believe it, you will achieve it." I think it's great that you put yourself out there. What an adventuresome summer for you. My summer was pretty much the opposite. I'm working at a sports bar and still plugging away at my teaching credentials. The sports bar has gotten busy since football season. I'm rooting for the Steelers even though I have no idea about the team, or really the sport for that matter. I'm learning as I go. Mostly I enjoy talking crap about the other teams. So far Steelers haven't lost so I'm pretty sure my cheering has had a positive effect on the team! Also, my boyfriend is in escrow for a house. If all goes well he will be a home owner in less than a month. The house is pretty far from Cave Creek, but he got an amazing deal on it because it is a forclosure. It is a two-story, four-bedroom house built in the early 2000s. It has a pool in the back. Yay! I predict I will be spending a lot of time fixing up the place with him, but I think it will be really fun. He says he feels overwhelmed with the decorating so I get to play HGTV makeover show! I guess I should start watching that channel. I think my mom tivos every other show on HGTV anyhow so I am pretty much good to go! Love to you all. I promise to stay involved with this blog if you all do?.....
