• Another milestone reached.

  That’s it.

  It’s official.

  We are DONE with the other house. We have cleaned bathrooms, baseboards, oven and refrigerator. We had carpets cleaned. Mopped, patched walls, did touch up painting and cleaned windows. We replaced light bulbs, and removed every single thing we own. We swept the garage, the porch and did puppy patrol. The house looks beautiful and is move-in ready for new tenants. Of course, with this economy, she might have difficulties getting some, but it’s ready for when she does!!

  It feels good.

  On top of that, I can’t wait for the deposit back! That’s what we are using to but new bedding, new bathroom stuff and kitchen rugs etc. Whooo hooo! Shopping time! I love shopping. It’s right at the top of my list with reading, coffee and internet… life is good!

  We are leaving today for Pinetop. Ski trip. Although I’ve decided not to ski this year. I am just finally getting well, my voice still resembles that of a drag queen and I still cough if move too much for too long, so skiing is probably not the best choice of activities for me at this stage. Instead, I will keep the fire burning, and relax with a book and catch up on some grading and lesson planning while they hit the slopes. This also means that I am the designated cook – sigh. Well it can’t be all benefits right? (Have I mentioned I hate to cook?)

  I am also going to take my camera, although my CF card failed and I don’t have very big smart media cards, I’m still going to take it and try to get some good snaps!

  Coralora will be skiing for the first time ever! For those of you who don’t know who Coralora is, she is the girl we took in during Ducky’s senior year. Right at the beginning of the year actually. Her parents had thrown her out – and she was moving from friend to friend, sleeping on floors etc. She’s a great kid – excellent student, helps around the house, cooks, follows the rules, works – really a good kid. She has truly become part of the family. Ducky and her attend UNM and both are doing great 3.85+ for their first semester! 

  Anyway – Coralora will be skiing for her first time. I need to have Ladybug or Hubby catch that on camera! I think it’s going to be fun. Ducky is coming up on the 1st – with her own crew. We had the condo until the 7th, but Hubby, Ladybug and I all have to be back by the 4th. Ducky is bringing some friends and going to stay until the 6th or 7th. Hopefully that’s not a diaster! LOL

  OK, well I have packing and organizing to do. Then there’s a 5 hour car drive to take. May or may not be back on in the coming days – but if I don’t make it on, everyone have a fantastic New Year!
