For Liz, but everyone else can read too :o)

Someday I will get back to posting more than once a month but for now, well, I do my best. The good news is WE GOT A NEW CAMERA!!!! And the even better news is that is was ON SALE at the exchange. Mike had borrowed a Sony Cybershot for a while and we liked it alot. So we got last years model, which is a little bigger, but has a 10x optical zoom and 8.1 mega pixels. YEAH! Also this one takes video with sound. My old one didn't have sound so now you all will get video clips too. I'd say just in time for Bogota but word on the street is when stupid foreigners take photos they get their cameras stolen. Hmmm, don't think Liz will be moving, or visiting, Bogota anytime soon! I've taken a few practice photos and hopefully tonight will have time to figure out the download process and viola... another post will appear!

Also, have you ever noticed that at THE MOST inconvenient times possible people drop by because they were "in the neighborhood" or say, want to come see your house and possibly buy it. We had decided May 1 was pretty much the sale deadline since, you know, we are leaving the country in oh... 3 months! No one has called or come by all week so I kinda let it go. Hey, I got busy! And now that it is warm the dogs are shedding more and there were tumbleweeds of dog hair floating across the hardwood. I know, just call me Holly Homemaker. I also had about a bazillion loads of laundry in the wash, in the dryer, in baskets in the living room, kids room... Folded yes, put away, not so much. Let's not even talk about the bowls of cereal still sitting on the kitchen table. Do you see the ugly picture. Yup, that's when my agent calls about a guy who REALLY wants a garage and needs to come in the next 30 minutes. Um, no. So I bought myself 45 minutes... YIKES! Oooh yeah, it was also nap time. Good and not so good. I scrambled... you go pee, you get in bed, if you both stop griping there will be popsicles in your future. You see I am ALL about the bribe when immediate compliance is necessary. Reference last post. They were tired so it all worked out. And I am a rock star. I have never cleaned so fast IN MY LIFE! Okay, so it's NOT perfect but it was "presentable". The guy looked at the garage THREE TIMES and told me he, "loved my house". Cross your fingers lady's and gents because this is the final curtain call.
