Sun, Sun, Sun

Oh, how I love that it is Friday. My plans this week-end are quite simple, time to clean up the yard. They are predicting 60 degrees and sunny on Saturday and I am hitting the dirt. I am no master gardener, but I'm so tired of being cooped up. Our little trip to Palm Springs invigorated me to get a move on cleaning things up and preparing for Spring.

We put an offer in on the Magnolia house with visions of 70's strewn all over it. Apparently the seller is "really busy" and will get back to us later today. How busy is he really...my guess is he's busy being pissed at the low ball offer we gave him. His inability to view his current property and it's worth should be interesting with the counter offer we are expecting. It's exciting and a bit nerve wracking in all.

Last night I was able to get a mani-pedi with my BFF Susan who I don't see very often anymore due to her new baby. We had a great time and then I came home to find this beautiful box on the counter wrapped with a ribbon. Kent is such a charmer that I instantly hugged him and then whispered in his ear, "is that present for me?" He sort of stuttered and looked me in the eye and said, "that's Stoney, Muffin (Muffin's my nickname). I totally burst into tears because I still miss Stoney so much and hate that we never were able to say good-bye. I was just caught off guard for awhile and eventually I found a nice little place for him in our home with the view of the city that he so loved.

My TGIF for today is that it is Friday, I'm grateful to have a couple of days off to relax and reinvest in my home and myself.
