Paperwork is coming together!

The house is ours! It's a bit more expensive than we anticipated... But, they're getting in and doing repairs right now. :-) Wah-who! Should be ready in 15 days. I say 16 "business" days, so I bet by June 29th? Probably?

Sweet deal is over for new subscribers

>> Thursday, June 07, 2007

If you're planning on moving to Mexico and getting the same Verizon plan I have - you can't.

They finally caught on to us. We're getting by with murder.

I pay $100 per month to keep my Ohio number and call anywhere in the U.S. and Canada. I also have 1000 free mobile-to-mobile minutes and some other perks. I use my U.S. cell constantly.

When I had Cingular - I paid something like $650.00 for about 200 minutes. Uh-huh.

So, I guess as long as C & I keep our plan, we're good to go. Awesome. Very good. I love when I don't miss out on a good deal.

One of my favorites

At pilates, which is all-Spanish (and bits of English when I don't understand), I love it when Mara (the instructor) says:

  • bicep, pronounced, "Bee-sep"
  • tricep, pronounced, "Tree-sep"
Love it.

A Weight lifted.

We found a place to live.
It's adorable.
I am so happy.
It's in San Jose, not Cabo.
Close to family, work & life.

Most importantly, Nattie's coming home.

More details to come.

Two of my plants

My shamrock plant I got from my Mother just a month ago.
Looks great, doesn't it?!
(Yes, those are Christmas lights wrapped around the pot.
Yes, we are bringing a little T-town ghetto flava to Mykonos 201B)

Planted these cute little beauties on Sunday.
I like looking out and seeing flowering stuff.
(I miss my garden/yard at home. Especially my lilac trees.)

Update

>> Monday, June 04, 2007

(This is where I work.)
  • It's overcast today.
  • Had a GREAT weekend. I planted flowers. (Just one a couple of pots.) I'll take a picture tonight.
  • I also planted an "herb" garden (in a pot) from seed. We'll see what happens with that. Thinking I might need to cover it with saran wrap.
  • No word on the housing situation yet.
  • I'm thinking that the house in Cabo might be our best bet.
  • I need my hair done. Badly.
  • I miss my dog.
  • We found some more "treasures" (sea glass) last night. Fun.
