Waiting for Tieka to wake up

Hey there!

I'm sitting here on a (so far) boring Sunday morning waiting for Tieka to finally drag herself out of bed. This is seriously the case almost every weekend. Actually yesterday I slept in till 11:00. That was crazy I don't remember the last time that happened. That's probably why I woke up at 7:00 this morning. Geez!

Well, yesterday Tieka made me go to the Humane Society. I hate going to that place! It's always so depressing! The animals really know how to sell themselves and I ended up wanting to adopt all of them. In fact, I think we might actually adopt a new cat! He's an orange tiger cat and his name is Oliver. He's a really laid back cat. I think he'll fit in well with the two we already have. I know...we're on the verge of becoming crazy cat people, but this is it! We'll never have more than 3 cats. One day I'm sure we'll add a dog to the mix, but we need to buy a house first.

Speaking of buying a house! We're in the very beginning stages of building a brand new house! We're not sure if it will happen yet, but we've met with a Realtor a few times and put down a little money to hold a lot. Now we just need to save some money for a down payment and get approved for a mortgage loan and in 6 months or so they'll start digging! That's all very exciting, but we're trying to not get our hopes up. I always do that and when things don't work out exactly as planned I get really bummed. So we're just taking this one as it comes and if it doesn't work out, it wasn't meant to be.

One last thing...What's with the serious lack of shows in West Michigan lately?!? There are a lot in mid/eastern Michigan and in Chicago, but I'm getting old and I'm married, and driving far for every show just doesn't work for me. I don't mind it once in a while, but not for every show. Someone needs to start booking some good shows! I dunno...maybe it's up to me. I have a few ideas up my sleeve to make that happen. Let's see what I can come up with. (Tieka's so annoyed reading this).

Anyways, Have good days!
