I'm going to busy this morning - we have a house showing from noon to 1:00. I'll be preparing the house while Sean is at school. Once I go to pick him up he and I will be out and about for a little while killing some time. If nothing else we'll go hide in our neighbor's backyard. That way the girls can get out of the car. Could be fun watching from a distance.
We were able to sit in Deb's driveway while the people were looking at the house and a good thing too. Danielle drove by, so we were able to see her. We chased her down to the corner and got to come back and visit for while. By the time we got back to Deb's from the corner - the people were leaving so we popped into the house for a short visit.
She brought me by a ticket to her chorus concert on Thursday night. We had a nice visit together. Even she and Sean had a nice visit. As she was leaving Lilly hopped into the car with her to go. She is the most wanting to "go somewhere" dog that I have ever seen. I think that she'd just about hop into any car as long as she thought she'd get to go somewhere.
Sean was able to get a short while of playing WOW before his training session with Nexus (for his homebound classes) was ready to begin. The training session is really just a refresher, but nevertheless, it will be a good reminder session.
Sean & I just had a big surprise. They folks that were here earlier to see the house came back by asking to see the house again, the wife brought her husband this time. They really seemed to like the house and the realtor gave me great feedback on the house itself. They really liked all the "extras" that the house has, even the painting above the fireplace.
I received this really sweet Valentine from Mom's photoshoot buddy, Chris. It was really sweet.
We had to run out this evening to the emergency room, Sean injuried his hand and we had to find out if it was broken or not. Quite a number of hours later....no break, just a big bunch of bruises. He'll heal in time.

Thought for the Day: I like long walks. Especially if they are taken by people who annoy me. - Fred Allen
You know you're under too much stress if:
A man and his dog were walking along a road. The man was enjoying the scenery, when it suddenly occurred to him that he was dead. He remembered dying, and that the dog walking beside him had been dead for years. He wondered where the road was leading them. After a while, they came to a high, white stone wall along one side of the road.. It looked like fine marble. At the top of a long hill, it was broken by a tall arch that glowed in the sunlight. When he was standing before it he saw a magnificent gate in the arch that looked like mother-of-pearl, and the street that led to the gate looked like pure gold. He and the dog walked toward the gate, and as he got closer, he saw a man at a desk to one side.
When he was close enough, he called out, "Excuse me, where are we?"
"This is Heaven, sir," the man answered.
"Wow! Would you happen to have some water?" the man asked.
"Of course, sir. Come right in, and I'll have some ice water brought right up."
The man gestured, and the gate began to open.
"Can my friend," gesturing toward his dog, "come in, too?" the traveler asked.
"I'm sorry, sir, but we don't accept pets."
The man thought a moment and then turned back toward the road and continued the way he had been going with his dog. After another long walk, and at the top of another long hill, he came to a dirt road leading through a farm gate that looked as if it had never been closed. There was no fence. As he approached the gate, he saw a man inside, leaning against a tree and reading a book.
"Excuse me!" he called to the man,
"Do you have any water?"
"Yeah, sure, there's a pump over there, come on in."
How about my friend here?" the traveler gestured to the dog.
"There should be a bowl by the pump."
They went through the gate, and sureenough, there was an old-fashioned hand pump with a bowl beside it. The traveler filled the water bowl and took a long drink himself, then he gave some to the dog. When they were full, he and the dog walked back toward the man who was standing by the tree.
"What do you call this place?" the traveler asked.
"This is Heaven," he answered.
"Well, that's confusing," the traveler said.. "The man down the road said that was Heaven, too."
"Oh, you mean the place with the gold street and pearly gates?
"Nope. That's hell."
"Doesn't it make you mad for them to use your name like that?"
"No, we're just happy that they screen out the folks who would leave their best friends behind."
Soooo. Sometimes, we wonder why friends keep forwarding jokes to us without writing a word. Maybe this will explain. When you are very busy, but still want to keep in touch, guess what you do? You forward jokes. When you have nothing to say, but still want to keep contact, you forward jokes. When you have something to say, but don't know what, and don't know how, you forward jokes. Also to let you know that you are still remembered, you are still important, you are still loved, you are still cared for, guess what you get?
A forwarded joke.
So, next time if you get a joke, don't think that you've been sent just another forwarded joke, but that you've been thought of today and your friend on the other end of your computer wanted to send you a smile.
You are welcome @ my water bowl anytime.

You know you're under too much stress if:
- Your inner child wants to be adopted.
- Your favorite flavor of ice cream is cherry vanilla Maalox.
- You have a nervous twitch that resisters on the Richter scale.
This explains why I forward jokes...
