Daily Ooos: Friday, July 21

It's.........


And hoooo boy, am I tired. Yesterday was jam-packed. Not in a physically busy sense but mentally/emotionally one. I thought I was heading out to BFF for a few hours of calm and nonsense chit-chat and it was. It was calm, just that it was also interspersed with texts from my brother who was finally told about my dad's vertigo episode yesterday. (FINALLY!! ) and wanted my immediate input. At the same time, Cait and Gary are both texting me to ask if I want to take a look at the house they saw the other night. She and Tom were officially putting an offer on it. My SIL (their real estate agent) sent me a "mom text" about proud she was of Caitlyn and that she is with Cait and Tom every step of the way, which made my heart melt. Thankfully, she ended it with a joke about how all of this *waves hands around* made Cait's Pretzels up the Nose Incident seem like child's play.

It's enough to make an emotionally unstable Faery feel even more unbalanced.

We went to see the house again and it is very cute and cozy. They put the offer on it and the owners will be making a decision today *fingers crossed* There is another buyer who is interested/has made an offer, possibly. So we'll see.
I feel 100% nauseous.
In a good way.
(I think.)
It's a lot for me to process even though I have known this was going to happen. I am anxious for them more than anything. Again-- I think.
After we got back, Scott wanted to play a new game that he and Sam had bought so we spent the next hour trying to beat a sandstorm in a Forbidden Desert. It's another cooperative game which we enjoy a lot and even though we all died, we died together haha!

It's a good thing I am cleaning today, that will keep me busy while we wait to hear if the offer on the house was accepted. Good thoughts are appreciated- for both news on the house and my mental state!


xoxoxo!

@vickyday I love that idea of making the dessert and what do I have to lose? Maybe I'll make that today if I am still feeling "frizzly" when I get back from cleaning. That is my other trick to keep myself occupied, I cook and/or clean. You'd think my house would be sparkling and well-stocked with food in that case LOL!
Thanks again for the ideas and suggestions.
It sounds like you and Mark are enjoying the time with Abby very much. I am positive that Liz appreciates it very much too ♥

@bcgal00 How are your dogs holding with the heat in the afternoons? I imagine that nothing will slow Remi down for long, but is Taz content to relax inside? BFFs dog is a cockapoo and wanted to be outside with us -- she was lying on top of my legs licking my face and all I could do was laugh at that Muppet of a dog.
let me try the pic again:


@BrightEyes jeez lousise! It's bonkers but understandable that you are celebrating 90* temps. Hope that you were able to get some new books before the heat was too awful.

@Cherylndesigns Between the two of us, we can either help the Ooos stay on track with days and dates or we will confuse the heck out of everyone (I think it's gonna be the second option LOL)

Hope that Trudy is all ready for the family visit. We miss you @taxed4ever

Love to you all!

The nice thing about that combination of lemon and blueberry is that it IS very refreshing! Someone else mentioned that and I agree!
Yes, we are enjoying Abby's visit! I really thought she would be bored out of her mind after awhile, but she wants to stay until she "has" to go home tomorrow, LOL! And she is only doing that, I think, because she is out of clothes! I told her I could wash but she didn't want me to have to do that. What a sweetie she is! She is planning on wearing her PJs home tomorrow.....which is really just shorts and a T-shirt.

Good Morning to all!
Mark is still off on Fridays. He is in the woods. Imagine that! I'm going to start breakfast after I finish this, so he will come back up to eat before heading down there again later. It is cooler in the woods.....not by much, I am sure. But I am also sure that being OUT of the sun while working has to help!
Abby is here one more day and I take her home tomorrow. She helped me out yesterday so I could work on a sample page for my multi photo challenge for August. She did several action things.....cartwheel, round-off, somersault and bridge. I chose the somersault for the better action shots. I had fun creating this page.


I want to do one more sample page to give everyone some ideas as I have some specifics for the challenge.

OK, I think Mark is back from the woods, so I need to get breakfast started.
HAGD!

Good morning ladies. Our contract is up with Telus for tv/internet/phone and of course they didn't call us to let us know, so the new bill has full price, no discounts now. Ugh. So I am on hold with them to see what a new contract will cost and then I need to call Shaw and go through it all with them so I can decide which provider to go with.

I'll be back later.

Good morning all,

Happy - @faerywings Chris - I think between the two of us we can keep the OOOO's on the right track. Maybe????? You always start before me, so you keep me on the straight and narrow once I get in here - we can do this.

Great, exciting news about the offer Cait and Tom put in on the house! I will definitely be sending lots of real estate (good) vibes that their offer is accepted. The house sounds cute - "cute and cozy" - can't beat that. I hope they hear back soon.

Vicky @vickyday I'm glad you and Abby have had fun. Love the pictures of her doing gymnastic moves.

Hugs to everybody - I need to get dressed and of course, I'm not sure if Casey is coming today. Chuck thinks she was here last week and I think if was two weeks ago. We're both confused. We (she) switches days on us so much that we can't keep up. We really don't care, and told her to feel free, but it does keep us confuzzled. It doesn't take much.

WOW... can't believe it but went to sleep last night at 10PM and didn't wake up until 9:40AM this morning!!! Night before last as I was trying to go to sleep at midnight.. I was thinking about another story I wanted to tell. So I turned on the light and went to look for the documents I would need for it and found them. Spent yesterday afternoon working on the LOs. Turns out it is going to be another multi-page story! Hope to finish those LOs today. Then I need to look at the challenges and work on LOs for a few of them before the end of the month. Scrapping seems to take me longer now days - but so happy to be back doing it finally.

Yes, @faerywings and @Cherylndesigns .... you gals can keep us on track of what day it is.. or keep us confused along with you!
Chris, so excited for Cait putting a bid on a house. Also glad that your brother now knows about your Dad's episode.

@vickyday Glad it is cooler in the woods where Mark is working. Love the LO you made for the August challenge!!! It is going to be a fun one to do.

@bcgal00 so sorry about the service ending with no notice. Hope you get the new services at a good price! Wow, another cruise paid for - sounds like a really fun one. Glad to hear that Jen's knee is slowly improving.

Just remembered I need to put the towels on to wash...

@faerywings keeping fingers, toes and eyes crossed that they get the house. Positive mojo going up and out.
