Monday musings
Hey folks! How was your weekend? Were you one of the ones that was snowed in up to your neck?! Mannn this is nothing but Global Warming - the weather is crazy. We went from like 69 degrees to snow showers the next morning. Give me a break!
I know I wasn’t the only one that woke up this morning confused, in the dark and having overslept, lol lol For some reason I didn’t get enough warning about the time change. My body didn’t have any time to adjust.
I can’t even really remember what exactly did I do this weekend but sleep. I felt…old this weekend. I just wanted to lay around and watch episodes of Flip this and Flip that house. Throw in some Gene Simmons Family Jewels and I was set. I think that my body knew that it needed to reserve because a project is on the way big time.
So after my last class my GPA jumped to 3.38. I am quite happy about that. I wanted a nice cushion going into my masters program full time. This class is tricky because the assignments are written in the familiar and beg you to expound from a personal nature - but you can’t fool me. I was one of four students who was singled out for doing the work CORRECTLY and wrapping it back up in the academic of the book. YEA BABY! I am liking school at this point. FIVE WEEKS and I’m done with the Bachelors. I brought home a class ring brochure from Wall mart this weekend. I didn’t get one in HS, but I intend to get one for my right hand. I saw a nice one with small diamonds I have my eye on.
So in the ever evolving adventure of the Magnegroes - we looked up not to long ago and realized that we had run out of space. I know I know - but we got stuff, lol So there was conversation since Mini-me is on her way to HS (out the district) and with BCPC coming every weekend and probably for the summer - the office space and her bedroom sharing had gotten old fast. We had no plans to do anything about it, just conversation aloud.
Well a couple of weekends we decided to look into neighborhoods that would get us a bit farther out of the hood (yea I said it, time to kinda move a bit more on the outskirts) and into a bigger space. Still no plans, just enjoying a Saturday looking at homes.
Introducing Our New Home:
4 Bedrooms/2.5 Baths, 2 wood burning fireplaces, LR, DR, Kitchen, Den, Deck, Fire pit, 2 car garage and my beloved porch. In a Cul de Sac, two blocks from the Lake in what has been known to be a majority toubob neighborhood. Huge Home - reminded us of the Brady Bunch home, only $100 more than we pay now. I had renamed Caun "Walter Lee" cause we were about to be "A Raisin in the Sun" on the real. We get to the designated spot to speak with the Landlord (yes we are renters because our credit is fucked, we like being able to be flexible and it works for us at this time) and who was sitting up in there but A BROTHER, lol lol lol He has the distinction of being one of the first three families that bought in this community in ‘75 (which is what gave us the Brady Bunch feel) and so everything went smoothly and we move it the middle of next month…God Willing (cause something might happen never know - I’m just claiming it now since that really seems to work).
Our Adventure continues. Our Adventure continues.
