Mi casa es su casa...soon

Is it over yet? Can I look? If anyone ever tells you that selling a house and buying a new one is a joyous experience, they're either lying to you or they're not me. So here we are, about 14 months later and I think that we are going to move this week. After four unsuccessful months on the market a five month hiatus, a stint "For Sale by Owner" and four offers later we have finally signed papers on our house and our new house but the way this has gone I won't believe it until I wake up in the new house. Anyway, if you want to know more ask Jenn, I'm going to bed.

I'll miss you, ol' house. You've been the best house a house can be but we've outgrown you...

New Blog!

Well, here we are. More than a year later and an all new blog. The old blog (shkwow-wow.blogspot.com) is on an indefinite hiatus as I am in need of a fresh start to fuel my (for lack of a better term) 'creative genius'. Ya, I know what you're thinking, "That'll take a hell of a lot of fuel. That vehicle probably only runs at 10 miles per gallon on the freeway." You're probably right but I'll do what I can to make this more economically and environmentally friendly. Enough with the metaphor-speak. Actually, that's a lie. I forgot my password and username for the old blog, to top it all off I tied it to a third-party alias e-mail address which I cannot remember the password for either and I refused to name a secondary e-mail address in the set up of that account (story of my life).

So how about a crash course in changes to me in the last year or so, in no particular order-

2 more mouths to feed
New job
Cycling to work now (see 'New Job')
Have bought and replaced 3 bikes this year (see 'Cycling to work now')
Bought and replaced 2 cars this year (don't see 'Cycling to work now')
Trying to sell the house and buy a bigger one for the better part of the last year (see me in a week or two)
Became a born-again coffee drinker and have now nearly reached 'addict' status (see '2 more mouths to feed')
I broke my toe two weeks ago (see '2 more mouths to feed')

I'm sure I'm forgetting something but this is what stands out for now.

That's it for now. So take some time to gather yourself after experiencing this utterly moving and uber-exciting piece of..................................literature.

Until next time, enjoy your Wild America.
