Feeling awfully thoughtful today. We didn’t do a thing today up here. It snowed all day long. Good thing we decided to come a night early. Just looking out the window at the snow coming down steadily sets up a perfect environment to let your mind wander. And you can see the poem I wrote before shows just that. I have never written a poem in my life. Probably as you can tell. Some of it rhymed, some of it didn’t. The thoughts just would not leave my mind. I tossed and turned for 2 hours trying to take a nap this morning.

So tonight I’m working on my new host while I’m waiting on the Apprentice finale. Not much fun really. I hate trying to get Movable Type working. This ftp program I had to install on this machine stinks too. Which is not helping.

Alrighty, so we bought a house! We ended up offering, she counter-offered and we counter-offered back, settling at $100 above offering price + 3K in closing. We were happy with that. Looks like we won’t need to spend more than $100-200 extra in closing above our down payment. We are really excited about it and have already started making a to-do list of what we want to do. Just some cosmetic things mostly. We are set to close either 6/25 or 6/28. Less than a month away!! I can’t wait! We still don’t have finaly approval on our transfer, but according to Corporal’s instructions, we should rely on Fst. Sgt.’s original comment that we should plan on being in Fort Mill on June 30. So that’s what we’re doing.

I finally made a comment to my good friend whose wedding I’m in and who I am helping throw our other friend an engagement party. I had agreed at first to split half of food and a keg for the party. After I told Scott, he was none too happy about spending our already thin money on something we don’t even drink and something we don’t think anyone else needs to drink. I know we are in the minority, but that’s just the way it is. Anyway, so in some conversations about the party in email, I finally spit it out that I’m not too happy about having to split the cost of the keg but I was willing to do it since I said I would. She wrote back simply that her and her fiance would buy the keg and we could split the cost of the food. I just put ‘ok’ back in my email. I feel REALLY crappy about what I said even though it was the truth. I think if I had told her from the beginning that I didn’t want to help for the keg that I would have been fine with it. Now I just feel like I’ve insulted her, gone back on my word and look like a cheapskate. It’s a crappy place to be. She hasn’t emailed me a thing since. I can’t decide if she is truly insulted or just doesn’t have anything else to say to me now. It is quite an awkward time for things to be weird between us. The engagement party is in two weeks and it’s supposed to be a fun time. And then I’m supposed to be in HER wedding in September. I actually do remember my relationships with some of my friends being quite strained the closer it got to our wedding. I guess it’s just a stressful time. Our other, other friend and I talked a little bit about this friend that I’ve been talking about and we talked a lot about how different she is. I’m not saying this about all unmarried, childless people, BUT she is very immature in some ways still. Very selfish in her thinking and has no idea what it is like to be a wife and a mother or either has no regard for those that do. I just feel like we’re living different lives now. Not much in common anymore. I mean, on the surface, we get along. Our goals are just different now and that’s ok. Really. It’s just she’s got to be able to understand my life is a little more complicated and she just DOESN’T see that. I know I’m talking in circles but I just need a little frustration out about this.

We bought a Jeep today. Scott just needed something to run around town in and ended up with a really nice vehicle. I think we got a steal at $2200. Scott is like a kid in a candy store now. He immediately cleaned the whole thing which thank goodness led to my car getting vacuumed out. He’s making mental lists of things he wants to do with it. It already has a 4 1/2″ lift kit on it and a 6 CD changer with an extra cartridge. Plus, the seats and headliner are in good condition. The paint is fairly new and the engine seems solid.

Emma had an awful time last night. She went to bed perfectly for Scott at 8 at my in-laws where we spent the night but when we went in the room at about 11 to go to sleep, she woke up and then tossed and turned in bed with us until about 2. She had a fever from her shots at the dr yesterday and it finally went away after we gave her some Motrin. She is just now taking a nap. She will be out for awhile I’m guessing.

Yesterday she went to the dr for her 15 month checkup. She is 32 1/4″ tall (90%), 22 lbs (48%) and everything is perfect according to the dr.

I went to Spartanburg to see my friends MH & MC who are each getting married this year. We tried on the dress for MC’s wedding and they were gorgeous. MH told us each we could pick any dress we wanted, but just had to keep the same color. We ended up picking the same dress! It is really pretty.

I took pictures of all this stuff and plan to post later tonight.

Finally, I just walked through the door with completed tax forms. Thank goodness they decided to give us a discount even though they had to do another fed 1040 on me separately. So, the total refund for this year is only $1911 but hey, that’s $1911 we didn’t have before!

We are headed up home tonight for a couple days. I have to go into the office tomorrow for some training and meetings. I’m actually looking forward to it.

I called my friend S this morning hoping I could invite her over for the afternoon for Emma to spend time with H and S and I to talk but I didn’t get an answer and she hasn’t called back yet :(. I was hoping for a good play date!
