wuv, true wuv

it's what bwings us togetha today... (Love that Princess Bride.)

I love my house. I'm maybe in love with it. I think about it before bed and wake up thinking about it and it makes me happy. And since Friday I've wanted to work on other areas of my life to make myself better. From what I remember about relationships, I think it's love. And speaking of love, I love the brother's girlfriend's mom. Well, I kinda dig her whole family but I really like that her mom sees things the same way I do. What a single person needs (or maybe any person or maybe just me) when she buys a house on her own is encouragement and affirmation. That's what I got from the girlfriend's family--an appreciation of what it is and the vision of how much more it could be. They're nice peeps.

So all this has made me realize (again) how important it is to support people.

It's been a crazy week so far. I had a quick trip to the greater Dallas area (full of stress and unexpected setbacks). Then off to San Antonio and the Menger. It's nice here but somehow I was expecting more. One cool thing, however, is that the restaurant here is painted the same color I want to paint my kitchen/breakfast area. It looked good. It was like a preview.

And the totally random thing for the day... There's a restaurant in a small town south of Dallas called Bubba's BBQ. It's slogan? "You never sausage a thing." Love that, too.

LOVE Bubba's BBQ! It's in Ennis. I think it rhymes with...Venus. Or at least that's what I heard.

Actually, it rhymes with tennis. According to Corsicanians...

'Honey, turn around! We missed Bubba's BBQ!'

BTW, I think it is a totally AWESOME thing that you bought a super-cute house on your own, and wouldn't back down when it didn't look good. I'm very impressed. And one of these days I'll get to see it and actually meet you. :)

But I expect some Long Island in my tea when we sit on the porch. ;)

I drive to Dallas from Houston all the time, and love those "Bubba's" billboards.

Rule #1. Never start a land war in Asia, but only slightly less important, I know which cup the poison is in. Ha ha ha!

Yes, never battle a Sicilian when death is on the line...

And, nope, no ghosts.

hey, would you like to see the nursery?

After a very productive week/weekend, the nursery is just about done. I think the only thing I want to do is whip up a simple padded headboard and Hubby needs to trim down the legs on a little footstool. That's it! Finally! So without further ado... This is what you see when you walk in the door. Too bad the baby won't be able to appreciate it right away. (And I'll apologize right off the bat for having some wonky-colored photographs in this post. I just don't have the energy to fix things. At least on my monitor, the above pic is roughly true-to-life.) Would you like to see that awesome rug a little better? Man, I love it. It was the one splurge for the room but it has such great colors, fun animals and designs, and is round. All my criteria were met. Love. Here's the corner with the crib. I wanted a clean, simple, modern, white crib. I hate to admit it but we ordered it from Wal-Mart. Hey, at least we didn't have to enter an actual store to get it. It was ine
