Please Please Please Please Please ... Lake House?
Well here we go, we're plunging into "The Lake House". We've decided on the house by a lake - definitely, we've been spoiled over the past 20 years, but for taking a step back ??.....This is a pretty damn good step back.
So say a few prayers and keep your fingers crossed that this works out .... I've got our first daughter's wedding coming up in 6 Months! That's where I want my mind to be.

Selling, Renting, Packing, Moving - Chaos
Obviously this whole ordeal, along with the holidays, Fibro, and family life, have kept me from blogging.
Of course, that just means another adventure which my ADD has a love / hate relationship with - love adventure and change, but it also leaves me a bit apprehensive.
House showings - clean house - start to pack - holidays - pack some more - no more auctions ( boooo :( ) / buying because we don't want to have to pack and move extra stuff. I have PLENTY of my Stuff to pack.
So now the search for a new home that fits our multi-generational, large family, has become a bit of a challenge. We are limited with $$$ to pay for rent, need 5 BRs, a place to keep our business going (and growing!), preferably with some land so we can have some peace and seclusion. Am I in Dream World? Yeah, I think so. Oh Did I Mention We Have 3 Dogs???
In one of my blogs, I said I'd keep you posted as we went on this journey, and until now, I was reluctant to share, as this "reality" is a tough one to share. It's a bit disappointing, depressing, and challenging.
As a family, we are all trying to adjust to what is happening. We LOVE our Pink House; as #5 said "This is the first house I felt "At Home"".
So, these are the houses we've checked out. One house that sits on 9 acres has been for sale for a while, but they will not rent; another house on the lake is very tempting, but we'd be a little cramped and that can create tension amongst my clan; another one that fits Everything our family needs, but it's a bit farther away. WHAT TO DO, WHAT TO DO, WACK A DO, WACK A DO.
Yes, I am going insane. Wish Us Luck!
Why?
Reality hits - Fibromyalgia severely impacted my ability to work; listening to my body, to avoid the cycle of push, crash, burn, meant I called out sick and had to limit my hours. Two years ago, I left my job. To keep this "short story" short, aside from many other details, we have to sell our house - Our Pink House :( Boooooo, and Rent a house till we get back on track.
Of course, that just means another adventure which my ADD has a love / hate relationship with - love adventure and change, but it also leaves me a bit apprehensive.

What's The Next Best Thing To Going To Auction?
UPDATE: 1/18/2013. I did enjoy this auction, comfortable place to go, nice items, somewhat reasonable prices. I was $5.13 short, and I was going to mail them a check - no problem. The next day I realized I left my "lot" of salt and pepper shakers about $40 worth. Although I was emailed back to call and set up a time, between Fibro, holidays, selling house, it took a while for me to call. Left two messages - no response. So even though I'm out $40'ish, I still feel bad about not sending the $5.13 check. Anyway....hence no further pictures or blogs on this Auction House.
Go to an Auction House you've never been to before!
I cannot wait to go tomorrow morning to the preview, and hopefully, if what I'm interested in looks good, I'll be bidding.
Swinging Bridge Auction House, Here I Come!
