Day 19: Sweet Dreams

I caught the tail end of The Batchelor tonite–he didn’t choose either girl! LOL. That’s kinda cool. Now I’m slightly disappointed that I hadn’t been watching the show. I do hope that he chose neither because he wasn’t seeing either as marriage material. For all we know, he fell in love with a camera girl instead…. Too bad for the girls who gave up so much of their integrity & dignity at a lottery’s chance of getting this guy.

I’m so tired, I can barely put two thoughts together to make a proper post. So, the rest of it will be scattered.

I may have a teeny job lined up. Teeny because it’d be 8 hrs/week, and perhaps just seasonal? But it’d be neat to work there and just get out on my own for a few hours each week. I’ll make my decision tomorrow. The owner would be quite excited to have me, which would be cool. This would also challenge me to break down the shy shell I tend to stay cozy in. Should be fun times.

Did I mention seeing a gorgeous show home yesterday afternoon? That was the first time I’d walked into a house and loved it! Oh wait, the 2nd time actually. The first time was during the more active house hunting phase. Jono was busy working late and so I went out to see a house with my agent. This home was very well done. Cute, small but functional for our needs. We tried to go back the next day for Jono to see it, but as we rang the doorbell, their realtor greeted us by saying that the owners had just literally signed an offer to purchase. It was sold while we were outside! (Yes, that’s how insane the market has been here). Back to the big house–beautiful. It was just over 2300 sq ft, tons of windows, huge foyer & private… The layout was fantastic, 2.5 bathrooms, 4 bedrooms. If someone handed me the keys right now, we’d take it in a flash. They’re building a slightly smaller version of this one in a different area in the city. Same floor plan, minus 1 bedroom and it’d be 1776 sq ft. So uh, if someone has a money tree in their backyard, can I please have a few leaves?

I’m reading an autobiography of E. E. Cleveland. I’d heard of the dude before, and enough people have massive respect for this man. But to read actual details of his life (I’m sorry the book is so tiny–this man had quite the life), I’d love to meet him. He was an evangelist preacher, meaning that he didn’t settle in at a church, but rather preferred to travel around and preach. He also trained ministerial students and has done a lot of work to improve race relations in the church. Such good stories. I’m grateful for the pathways he helped to forge.

On that note, it’s off to sleep. Going to dream about the home I desire…
