I've heard about this mythical thing called a "close" - I have my doubts.

House = not closed.

I find it interesting that some friends of ours looked for, offered on, were accepted, did inspections, financed, closed, and MOVED since the time we found our house.

Like ray-ya-yaaaaaaain on your weddin' daaaaaaay.

So after watching THAT VIDEO, we flew to Arizona and "resolved cucumbers," which in Portuguese means "resolved some little problems." I have faith that we will move before the end of summer. Maybe.

It didn't take too long to figure out that not only is it phenomonally boring to be in a hotel with three children, but freaking expensive.

Off to Michigan! My sister's bedroom is free. Plus ALSO, there are lots of doting relatives that love nothing more than play let's-throw-Little Prince-on-the-couch-AGAIN all day. These relatives love the game so much, in fact, that we let them play it for a week straight at no cost, while My Man and I hightailed it to New York.

I know. AWESOME.

We rented a car and drove the four leetle hours to Niagra Falls first. We went through Canada, cuz we're these awesome international travelers, didntcha know? Oui oui, yes yes. (They're bilingual there.)

We went on that thing. It was wet.

By the way, did I tell you I am a nothing nobody? Everyone is. IT'S TRUE. Just look at the millions of gallons of water carving away the earth and you'll find out how exactly nothing nobody YOU are.

Then it was off to visit Super Awesome Sister-in Law (SASIL) who happens to have the Sweetest Cheeked Niece Ever (SCNE). This is the SASIL who is married to the Amazing Potsticker Maker Doctor Who Also Makes His Own Freaking Amazing Furniture. (APMDWAMHOF.) I feel sorry for you that you're not related to them.

They live a scant half hour from Palmyra, where this church got its start.

These trees have known diety. I know it.

Then we finished driving across New York, dipped into New Jersey, and went forty-five minutes out of our way to eat Coldstone. Cookie batter ice cream is WORTH IT PEOPLE.

And then we visited this lady.

I love New York. I LOVE NEW YORK. New York is the

Nope, can't think of any adjectives cool enough to describe the [insert word] that is New York.

Still nothing. And you'll have to wait for stories and picures, because the sheer volume of what I have to say scares me, and also because I want to hold you in suspense. And also because I'm cruel. (Oh the things you are discovering about me ................)

*mwa-ahahahahahahahhahaha*

O-KAY, that officially signals that I need to go to bed. Toodles!
