seven more days to my birthday....and unlike my some body i know i don't care about what age i am turning.
i don't think - other than twenty-five - that i have ever worried about my age....this also might explain why i don't care that i am going to be a thirty-four year old barrista. well, i do care. i would rather be doing this for myself if this is what i am going to be doing.
hopefully when we are in the house i can start doing upholstery again. it's hard but good money. over the last year i have turned down several jobs that i could've made a nice sum from...but here we go!!!
another thought that has been running through my head is the end of 1717 house. sam and trish are going to keep the house, and the tradition of temp roommate....let me see who has lived here....my brother in law, darren, was first- he was super great to have. then there was ungreatful charlie - he was a friend at the time but i want nothing to do with him now - jerk.
i think after charlie was the first time that trish and i lived alone. the alone time only lasted one or two months. next was nils upstairs and my dad was here after cancer treatment was in the foriegn exhange student room.
then skippy micheal came back and with skippy m came friends and more friends - i think chris was on the sofa for a few months....this house has been full and i can't say that i have loved it the whole time.
sam moved in last january. sam was going to be a temp roomy but we loved living with him so he's been here ever since....nils is back again.....he leaves for europe in march.
zakk and harlen have been back for the past few weeks. they are in between farming and looking for their own farm to buy (along with harlens mom). they were going to stay thru the hoildays but harlens grandmother seems to be slipping away so they are staying because they fear that a funeral is coming.
here's a photo of harlen and zakk at bump and grind
and here's sam's inner child
last week sam and i took a trip to boulder to visit my insurance agent - i still have the same agent from when i worked in boulder - we went to lunch at lucilles - a cajun breakfast lunch dinner - after we walked around for a bit....here's a few photos....
there are seven more shopping days until my birthday.
there are twelve more days until closing on the house......oh boy!
the house. the whole thing makes me nervous. i just want both of us to be very happy living there....and creative! everyone make a wish!!! happy new years!!!!
