"Hello Cribs, this is where the magic doesn't happen!"

OK I know I promised a blog like a week ago, but I haven't been my upbeat self.  I have been really depressed because I hate where we live.  I have already had my melodramatic moment on Facebook about that (smh), cried some...OK alot, and went on a search.  The search is for a trailer or double-wide to move back behind my in-laws house.  The search has been derailed due to snow....CURSES THE WHITE STUFF....but we have looked online to see our options.  Some of these places are ridiculous!  By that I mean, when I think of a modular home I just think of a cozy modern place to call home.  Talk about modern, you can live like a celebrity in some of the ones we saw!  The one Steven is in love with has a theater.  That's right a THEATER!  Complete with recliners that have cup holders and a snack area.  I always assumed if I had a home theater, then I was 1 step away from starring on MTV Cribs but this is 2011.  I can have a factory fresh one delivered with a 3 bedroom house attached, for a fraction of the price celebs pay!  The one I am in love with has an outdoor kitchen.  Picture a deck with a built in mini fridge and grill, plus plenty of counter space.  This place is awesome!  We saw all kinds of things from wet bars, to hidden retreats, and even a mini sports bar! 





 I know I got you all excited, but don't plan any parties at my house yet.  Though they are not as expensive as I would have thought, I do work retail asset protection.  I'm crossing my fingers and hoping for a garden tub and walk in closet and will be happy.  The goal is just to be in a relaxing place where we feel safe, and can start a family.

I've been known to be a positive Polly, and can't stand to be in this funk.  In order to get out of it, I have thrown myself into my hobbies:

1. Jewelry Making- I have 2 more classes scheduled with Kelly.  A charm workshop, and basic bracelet class.  Plus she is making a bracelet for me that I hope to eventually learn

2. Cooking- I am more a baker and our oven is DOA.  To soothe my nerves I have been scouring the net and bookstores for recipes.  I also bought my first recipe book to organize them all.  Normally I have about a million little pieces of paper with recipes on them.  I can never find them when I am ready to try.

3. Annoying the Hubby- I almost have this one down to an art form!  My favorite prank to date: I took several little plastic cups, the kind you use for the bathroom, and waited until he took a bath.  After he was good and relaxed, I went into the bathroom and flung the cups in the tub.  He was so confused that he got out of the tub a few minutes later (sure you're loving these mental images) and asked why I did it.  LOL sorry I know this is pointless, and it really was.  I had no reason, the cups were available and I couldn't think of anything else.  But the confused look on his face was priceless!  I couldn't very well tell him the reason was simply to make me happy!!
