Is this following me?

I went to the new house yesterday to see all the updates and fixes that are supposedly being done. I found that I could not tell if anything had been done from the inside but the things that needed to be fixed on the outside of the house are still pending. So I went around to the back of the house to check on the the progress there. I found the back door ajar. This pissed me off! This is the third time I've gone to the house and it's open/unlocked. Of course, with me just days away from owning the house, I felt it was OK to go inside and make sure everything was in order. The house is empty and has been going on five months. It echoes when I clear my throat because there is nothing to absorb the sound. It's eerily quiet and still. I checked room to room starting in the basement and working my way up to the master bedroom. Everything seemed OK. Nothing was damaged and some of the work promised had been done. I got to the top of the stairs and felt a cold breeze kiss my exp...

It's always the end that gets you

As you all (all five of you I mean) know,  I am selling my house. The deal is all but signed and the last check mark to be made are some minor repairs I need to make. So as a good girl I picked a contractor that my insurance company recommended thinking that I couldn't go wrong with the person. I am terribly disappointed.

Ok, I'm sure my five readers have been wondering where the hell I've been. Well it has been a crazy summer. My family and I just got back from Florida vacationing at Walt Disney World and Universal Studios. We were there for seven days and I can honestly say that we were crazy for doing it. That vacation was about three days too long. Don't get me wrong it was an awesome trip but after awhile your sunburned skin and empty wallet just start to hurt and all you want to do is go home and curl up in a ball on your own bed. We decided it was better to do Disney one day and Universal the next for the whole trip. Day 1 Walt Disney's Magic Kingdom. It was unbelievable. We arrived early in the morning and parked in the furthest parking lot they had. We took a tram to the dock where we took a ferry to the island. It was hot already that morning and I was sweating before we even got into the Magic Kingdom. Once we got there we went to bag check. I can honestly say I am not sur...
