This is what it feels like to own a house.

In a lot of ways, Mike and I are just playing. We're pretending things are there that aren't. We're pretending we have a million dollars to redo things. And we're spending hours and hours talking about what happens if we change something. And it's so fun to be back in a project with Mike again.

I can say honestly and from the bottom of my heart, that I love this house. Despite the old lady style and the fake fireplace (which has since been removed). Every morning I wake up at 7 (or earlier) because I'm so happy with my life.

For awhile, I began to believe that the problem with living in Adale was me and not the actual town we were in. But truly, it was location.

For some people, the "house" is most important. Having a ton of space or beautiful architecture etc. For me, it's 100% about the location. I love going outside. I love my backyard. And I love making this place exactly as we want it.

Anyway, I better go. There's lots to do. I just wanted to say hi.

Save a pet from the Katrina disaster.

I just got this in my myspace inbox:

ADOPT A KATRINA PET SURVIVOR

We have over 200 dogs and over 150 cats so far. They have been put in one TEMPORARY place for now. I am told every one of them has had vaccinations and are in fine health, other than some scratched up some, lost, sad, confused and hungry. There are people there who are
ready and waiting to drive these dogs and cats to ANYWHERE they need to go, I repeat, ANYWHERE, they will transport them ANYWHERE.

They said they can hold on to them for a bit longer, not sure how much longer and said MANY of them will have to be EUTHANIZED if they are not taken somewhere soon.

CONTACT THIS PERSON DIRECTLY, it does not matter what time, middle of the nite, it does not matter, please help these poor precious animals.

They are also asking for ANY kind of donations for the animals, money, dog cat food, etc.
