Your Passion is Purple!

You've got a ton of passion, but you don't always wear it on your sleeve.
If something truly excites you, you let your inner intensity shine through.
But otherwise, your passion tends to morph into energy ... which you never lack.
You're a balanced woman, knowing when to turn on the fire in your heart.

What Color is Your Passion?

We're homeowners... woo hoooo! Closing went very well. And what's the deal with everyone saying that you'll be signing for hours on end. It was only an hour and that's including the chatty-chat with the lawyer.

I met our neighbor yesterday. She is super nice! She's got 2 kiddos, and her mom "Nana" lives with them, too. They're very friendly and I'm really looking forward to being in a neighborhood. Kids all OVER that cul-de-sac. So much fun!

We bought our fridge and our washer/dryer today, too. I'm such a grownup. I can't wait until the weather warms up. My neighbor said she'd help me plant some flowers. Hurry up, spring!

Closing is less than a week. I really don't know how I'm feeling right now... maybe a little nervous, definitely excited... I wonder if it's a small fear of the unknown. What's strange is that I've only seen the house just once. I really feel like I know I'm getting a big present soon, but I don't know what it is really. It's a big surprise! :-D

We've pretty much picked out the fridge and w/d that we're going to buy. We're getting an estimate for putting in a hardwood floor sometime next week. We've looked at living room furniture too. There's a Drexel/Heritage store within the Thomasville store. Lots of nice pieces.

Anyway, my mind is rambling...
LAMY YALL!

Is it just me, or do people have too much time on their hands?

How much is that doggie in the window?

So, I'm watching the Westminster Kennel Club show... I'm falling in love again. We've been talking about getting a dog for quite some time. Once we close on the house next week (eek!) it'll be time for ust to find us a furry little friend. Watching the dog shows is a great way to see the dogs and hear some good commentary about the breed standards.

So far, I like the golden retriever (America's favorite) and the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel (saw a puppy at the store the other day and almost LOST it!). http://www.akc.org/breeds/cavalier_king_charles_spaniel/photos.cfm

I'd probably prefer a smaller dog, just so I can get used to having a dog at all. I've never had a dog, unless you count the year I lived with Becca and our dearly departed Suli!

Ah... the herding dogs are on now. I've got to go watch!
