Lately....
...Our insurance agency had a big VIN Etching Event last saturday. It went really well I'd say. Sara wants to do another one, which makes me very happy. Here are some photos...
...also, we got our closing date: October 2, that's friday! cool!
...lastly, our super stellar parents are coming out in increments... first Carla and Mark come tomorrow until next tuesday, then mine come wednesday until the follow saturday... can't wait.
so if you dont hear from me for a while, i'm still alive, just busy busy busy.
...and a pigeon was perched above our door ever so creepily this morning when i walked into work. like a statue. i thought they left for the winter. guess not.

I have a very cute husband.
Adam and I were packing a bit today. I was excited because he offered to help pack and i knew it was the perfect opportunity to have him go through the boxes in the spare bedroom that are a modge podge of bills, old goofy sunglasses, pictures, and trash. So that's what we're upstairs doing. And you should also know he is wearing fake teeth and his graduation robe while doing so.
but among the boxes we found some old things he wrote that his mom saved (she's a genius). they're too precious/hilarious not to share:
the first is titled:

the first is titled:
8 maybe 9 things to worry about
My dad could get sick and die
My head could get kicked off in soccer.
The ref. could give me a red card and I'd cry.
Mrs. Johnson could give me 5 million math problems.
My sisters muscle head boyfriends could beat me up.
My dog could get hit by a car.
My mom maybe could fall in quick sand.
My feet could get caught in tar.
My dad could get sick and die
My head could get kicked off in soccer.
The ref. could give me a red card and I'd cry.
Mrs. Johnson could give me 5 million math problems.
My sisters muscle head boyfriends could beat me up.
My dog could get hit by a car.
My mom maybe could fall in quick sand.
My feet could get caught in tar.
the 2nd doesn't have a title:
If I were in charge of the world
The toy store and everything else would be free
School would be cancled if it was higher then 80 degrees and lower than 70 degrees.
You would get 20 dollars a day
If I were in charge of the world
You could drive when you were nine
I would live in the amusement park.
And no commercials on TV
If I were in charge of the world
Parents wouldn't be so strict
A candy bar would be nutritious like fruit
I must ride a rollercoaster around the house
If I were in charge of the world
All school days are early out
You could do anything you wanted
(within reason)
No curgue to get home.

people are awkward
so i go to call this lady today to tell her she's gone past due on her bill this month (never an enjoyable phone call to make)... but her voicemail said "hi you've reached ....name..... I like to feel happy. so if your message wont make me feel happy, you've got the wrong number". and that was it.
it was an awkward moment, in which i briefly hesitated before still leaving the message.
and just so i leave you feeling awkward just as i did in that moment, here's a picture:

good news!
Today has been somewhat of a splattering of good news...
1. brooke texted me that her sister, Jayne, is having a girl!! i'm sure a boy would have been good news too, but just knowing the sex means it's closer for them. but here she is below...
and 2. The initial appraisal on our house went well!! Adam says just a few minor fixes so keep your fingers crossed. So I'm not positive, but i think that means we'll be closing soon! Our address hopefully soon will be 613 Indiana Ave., Coeur d'Alene, ID 83814 in case you want to google map it. (It's the yellow one. )

Death by Pigeons
and no, i dont mean death by "a girl who tries to get dates with guys so they'll pay for stuff". i mean real life, dirty, nasty, not afraid of anything, pigeons.
Similarly to liz, i too have an unavoidable little death walk on my way into work. But unlike her, mine doesnt involve riding the train into the city and then taking the walk of shame past construction workers. I'd actually argue mine is quite worse. My situation involves driving to work and then walking into our office worried that i might not make it to lunch due to two grossly aggressive birds that have nested in our rafters.
i'm convinced these kamikazes camp out in until they see me coming and then swoop down and flutter around outside our door with harmful intent. I have a gut feeling that one day they will attack. last week, it was particularly bad and unfortunately in my vulnerable state i let out a few curse words while ducking my head searching for my keys. just my luck, and older woman was a few stores down and she watched the whole thing. i apologized but she just seemed horrified.
I hate them. i would like to call animal services and have them captured. I dont want to know what they would do to them. (honestly i would be ok knowing they were dead, but i dont want PETA to read this and come knock on my door).
Pigeons are gross, carry diseases, and arent even a little cute. I actually dont like most fowl on the whole, but these by far are the worst.
To prove my point, I google imaged pigeons and these were some of the first ones i found:
'nuff said.

I'm a liar
I dont have pictures to post on here. One. because Adam couldn't find our camera before my philly trip to take my own photos with (and my friends haven't posted theirs...so bug liz if you're curious). two. though we have a suspicion where the camera is now, I'm too lazy to go look. So i'm sorry for making empty promises... hopefully i'll get some soon since blogs without pictures can be boring.
But i had a great trip to philadelphia consisting of daily DD's, seeing my Dad's new office (and fantastic accent walls), reminiscing in brigantine, and meeting liz's new bf in AC... Marco, seeing my brothers, friends from college/highschool, and my entire family came to a bbq at my house.
Travelwise: the plane ride there was shocking... an open seat next to me on every flight. The plane ride home was cool too, for the most part. It had a movie, a luxury that I always anticipate on these long flights (ask adam). My only complaint was that i find it quite obnoxious when your rowmate decides they want to put the window shade down so they can sleep. even more annoying is when they only put it half down so that only they can see out. Memo: just because you have the window SEAT doesnt mean you have dibs on the window too. some of us only chose the aisle seat for bathroom convenience and unfortunately that has to take precedence to sleeping comfort and apparent window shade control. rude.
anyway... all that said, I'll leave you now with a new website to check out.
