What Has Liz Been Up To?

A lot. I started feeling MUCH better around Wednesday of last week, and since then have been running around like the energizer bunny hopped up on steroids. I ripped out my walkway, and started redoing it. (that sounds more impressive than it actually is, but to someone of my stamina, it's totally enough) I cleaned my house three times. (well, the public rooms) I put away laundry. (almost all of it) I rearranged my clothing storage. (all the drawer space is done. next, the closets!) I started working big time on getting my Dad a new job. (he has an interview on Monday!) BUT, the biggest thing is I remember it all. Until last Wednesday, life was foggy. Things got lost with alarming regularity in that fog, but it's all clear now. Ah, life, it's nice to have you back.
Here, for your enjoyment, is something my daughter Jonni said yesterday.
We pulled a couch up to the computer monitor to watch General Conference. At one point I snuggled up to John and one side, and Jonni did on the other side. John let us somewhat unwillingly, as he is not into the cuddling thing. In partially disgruntled voice he said to me, "Man, you just LOVE the snuggles, don't you?" To which I replied, "Well, you're just so darn comfortable!" And Jonni piped with, "Yeah, Dad, you are. I think it's 'cause you're so fat."
I just about peed my pants.

Toothless Jonni!

Okay, she's not toothless, but she has lost like four very recently. Two of those were the all important front teeth! So, of course, I got pics to commemorate this historic occasion. Enjoy. :D

Good Day

Do you know, I had a really good day today. The weight of that stupid house is gone, and I'm really feeling that. I worked out today. I read my scriptures. I got to talk to my best friend for a couple of hours. I played with my son. I had an uber healthy smoothie instead of ice cream, and my portion sizes and the variety of food I ate today was stellar. I took a walk with my family for a half an hour or so in the nature preserve near our home. (friends, you must come see me just to walk in this place. It's flipping awesome) The kids went down at bedtime with nary a quibble. Now, I'm gonna watch a little movie on netflix (like a forty minute episode of a show) before bedtime, and turn in, making my timing for going to bed just about perfect. Aaaaaah, this is much better.

Aaaaaaaaand.......

WE'RE DONE! THEY SIGNED PAPERS, AND WE'RE CLOSED!! IT'S OVER!!!!!!
We totally went out for ice cream to celebrate, and I'll tell you something--ice cream never tasted so good.

Closing

Hopefully, at 3:00 pm today, our buyers will be signing papers!!! We didn't close like we were supposed to last Friday because yet more important papers were not turned in on time, but I just checked with my realtor and she says so far everything's a go!! Pray, and pray hard people!!!

*Update--so far, it's 4:30 pm and I have heard nothing, which is a good sign. Although, I may crack under the pressure before too much longer, and call my realtor to see what's goin' down. *goes back to pacing incessantly*

Um

I had something I wanted to blog about, but now I can't remember it. *sigh*

PS What was the point of this post? Just that I'm still here, and would like to be active, but am at a slight handicap, that's all. ;P

Action Packed Weekend

A little TOO much action, methinks! I got my hair done and hung out with my family on Saturday. I had my in-laws over on Sunday, and did a spectacular face plant, and gave myself a nasty concussion. I've been at my mom's until today for round the clock observation. I'm doing better, but I'm still having headaches, concentration problems, and a ton of memory loss. If I've talked to you the past few days, chances are I don't remember it.
But the BIG news is.....*drumroll*.....
WE GOT THE LOAN!!!! Or, the people who are buying the house did, but it amounts to the same thing. We did a family fast on Sunday, and Monday is when the loan went through!!! A miracle, and thank you everyone for all the fasting and prayers!! They worked! HUZZAH!! We close on the nineteenth.
