Friday Five

Five Places I'm Going to Move to to Get Away From Winter and the Houses I'm Going to Buy There
(Location preferences courtesy of findyourspot.com)

1 - St George, UT:
If this house is as nice as the pictures make it look, I'm sooooooo there. But at that price, I have my doubts

2 - Bisbee, AZ:
Nice roses, but what does your house look like?

3 - Morganton, NC:
Nice house. You might be able to sell it if you don't let anyone see what horrid things you've done to the walls first.

4 - Athens, GA:
6 beds, 2500 sq ft, almost half an acre: $80,000 - surely there's something you're not telling me about this house?

And the best for last
5 - McKinney, TX (well, close anyway):
Can you say trailer trash Alice in Wonderland house? How old was the little girl who designed those additions anyway?

Friday Five

Remember me? Probably not, but I'm back. I'm not even going to comment on how long it's been since I blogged. Dang. I just did. Well, rather than giving an update of my life over the past forever, I'm doing a Friday Five. Because it's Friday. So there.

Five Things That Came Home From Work With Ben This Week

Monday


Tuesday

Wednesday


Thursday

Friday
Well, I don't EXPECT anything today, but it wouldn't be a Friday Five if I only had Four.
Then it would be a Friday Four.
Which is really what it is, I suppose, since nothing has come home from work with Ben today because Ben hasn't come home from work. And whether or not he brings me MORE flowers today (which I don't expect, but possibly anticipate), I still love that man with every fiber of my being. He's the best.
And if you feel like I'm bragging, you're probably right. Deal with it.
