Now that I have to pay bills, Achilles plays with ice cubes

I’ve spent this afternoon laying over my knees, zooming around, chasing the Roomba around my living room. I LOVE living in a house. that’s not sarcasm

I played this song for Douglas on the way to Shelley’s Halloween party because I thought it was spook-themed, but he said it’s about love. :( waste

No words for how cool this cake was. I have so much talented friends

Achilles is my first born

look at Achilles’ face in this picture

kristinbeale:

10 years of chapters, hundreds of dollars, 3 years of editing and I just submitted my manuscript to a publisher. this is a big deal THIS IS A BIG DEAL I AM VERYEXCITED

MY BOOK WAS ACCEPTED.
- a little bit (!) of work to do
but
they said
yes

I used to love this band/song when I was younger and I just watched the music video again. All the singers are in their 40s?

-an animated meadow

whenever I mention that my house has a bedai toilet I either get (in person) and awkward laugh or (in text) a change of subject. Douglas said I should stop mentioning it but I am very excited about it and I don’t understand why it’s bad to mention. it’s just a toilet okay

laying in bed last night I’m stressing about/debating getting up to hand wash the spaghetti-spatula in my dishwasher that I KNOW won’t get cleaned in one cycle. wow who am I I’m a homeowner

I haven’t closed on my house yet but I’m living in it (pre-closing occupancy agreement)!!
meaning
I’m not paying for gas, electric or water yet.
meaning
hot showers, lights on in the daytime, fireplace at all times. It’s GREAT

Achilles is a champion

Now that I live alone, the amount of singing/yelling I do is great. I didn’t realize I like to sing so much

I’m moving into my house today (!?) and I’m not happy? I don’t know if I’m really happy or so sad to be moving out of my parents’ house. I started crying when mom said I’m moving in today but I don’t know if they’re happy or sad tears. What is my deal

deez nuts

I had the final walk-through on my house yesterday and I had to fight back happy tears when I was talking to my builder AT LEAST 3 times. I didn’t want the builder to think I was upset about my house!! Because I was really just so happy. Why do I cry when I’m happy??
I’m awake super early right now (3:30am?!?!) because I wanted to think about it. I can’t believe this house I built

license plate idea: ICUP. or DIRTCKE of course

the woman who took my job at Boleman asked me “are there any positions open at Townebank??!!”
She wants to leave because of the same thing/person I left.
THE SATISFACTION I feel. is overwhelming
