1. Everything has come back good on the new house. I think we can finally feel like it's going to be ours and think about what we're going to do/buy/etc. Now it's on to finalizing our close date.
2. DH's work trip has been pushed back a frillion times and now he's not going until the week before Labor Day. Of course, Labor Day is our big summer holiday and we go camping at the farm. At least I'll have a couple days off that week to get us ready. I'll be pissed if they push it back again and it's the week we close or something ridiculous like that.
3. From the crazy neighbor files: last week I guess my crazy neighbor's crazy dog got out of her house w/o a leash and bit a lady walking by their house. The lady was all like, "WTF?!" Crazy neighbor walks out, picks up the dog, and walks in the house w/o saying a word to the lady. The kiddo witnessed this exchange. I saw there was something going on, but I couldn't see because crazy neighbor's truck was in the way.
4. From the neighbor gossip file: My neighbor on the other side of me got divorced earlier this year. She's already got another dude practically living with her. Of course, she won't let him say he's 'moved in', even though he's there every night. Also, they've already 'broken up' like 3 times because of his drinking. Oh yeah and she has her two kids, that are getting front seat action to all of this fuckery.
5. My 19 year old cousin (who has struggled for years with ADHD and what not...It was quite a process to get him through HS and he's already failed out of college. He's having issues keeping a job.) has a GF. He asked his parents if his GF could move in because she had a shitty home life. My aunt and uncle said no to that. In their infinite, misguided, immature wisdom...My cousin and his GF decided to get knocked up to force his parents to help them. It's already a mess, of course. But someone suggested that maybe we could do an inter-family adoption and my sister and BIL (who are struggling to get pregnant) could adopt the baby. My first thought: "This is going to turn into a Prudie letter."
