Raise Your Hand if You're Ready to See Sunshine

I think I'm getting SAD (seasonal affective disorder). I'm combatting it by eating chocolate.

Today I get to negotiate about my first offer on the house. I'm generally a bit of a hard-a about stuff like this, so I'm hoping the people aren't totally unreasonable. It would be nice to have this off my plate, but not nice enough to give my house away.

In other news, the crazy weather has screwed up a panel of my fence. The top of it is flapping in the breeze. Hopefully it will stay intact until my brother in law is here this weekend. I don't think it will be a huge thing to fix (just needs a few extra nails/screws to reattach it to the post), but I'm under no illusions that I can do it by myself. Solo fence projects never go well at my house. :) I'm smart enough to learn from my mistakes.

Xbox or Reading or Storm Reports?

What do people in my neighborhood do when we're in the path of a tornado? They stand in their driveways and take pictures of the cloud going over their houses! I knew one was coming, but it's more informative to watch the neighbors than the news.

Anyway, It's going to be a long night of storms. Butter has already violated the carpet once (she is now back outside!)and I'm just waiting for Maya to follow suit, because she refused to go out in the wet grass when I took her out earlier. Not a good thing when the house is for sale!

I'm "bored" (I have things I could do, but I'd rather do something fun). I'm debating between xbox and reading. I could watch the news to stay up to date on the storms, but I guess I could just keep the blinds open and watch the neighbors.

Bridezilla has Left the Building

And not a minute too soon! Things are much calmer now that I've gotten a bunch of things checked off my list.

The house is showable (which is a feat with three dogs running through the house on a constant basis!)

Pretty much all of the details are taken care of except...
*Have to find out for sure that the venue received the form we faxed them (left message today).
*Have to figure out music (left message today).
*Need to meet with the officiant to discuss the format of the wedding.
*Must return hot pink shoes. (Bought equally fabulous ones last night. Fret not!)
*Need to upload Butter pictures. She's so hard to photograph, but hopefully some of the ones I took yesterday came out as more than just a blur.
*Invitations go out this weekend!
*TheGroom needs a tie that matches my sash. Surprise! Let's go with the darker suit, OK? I'll even let you do a white flower instead of hot pink. Bride of the year, right here!
*Dress pickup is May 6th (I guess it's technically a fitting...I'll try it on with the alterations done). *Aside* The alterations lady was so funny last night. "Zyou have beeeg gap right up top. We fix it!"

And just for my own sanity (because I know I'll lose the paper I have this written down on..)
