Over the pshychosis

I am over my little temper tantrum from yesterday. I plans are final (which takes a lot of stress of me), we are going to the football game on Friday, then heading to Galveston. This means we will miss the Thanksgiving celebration with the family, so no turkey and dressing for me this year, but I have come to terms with it. I am still getting what I want, and that is to spend some time with my Nanny. I am hoping to get her to give me the recipe for stuffing, and tell me how to cook a turkey so that I will be prepared for next year. I dont know yet if we are going to go into Houston to see JR's family, but we will play it by ear I guess.

I drove by the house again today and to my irritation, they still have not done anything. I can understand that its a holiday week, but it just seems like they could have gotten something done on Monday or Tuesday or even today. Okay, well it rained Monday - but still yesterday or today. The only thing new that I noticed is that I now have a port-a-potty of my lot now. It's not like they aren't working this week either, because every house on my street is being built. The houses on either side of me are finished, they are just waiting to close (I guess), because their sod hasn't been put in, and they dont do that until you close on the house, then there are 4 other houses on the street that are in one stage or another of being built, and I see workers there all the time. I guess I am just getting anxious...breathe Sara, breathe.

One thing JR and I are trying to decide right now is whether or not to do wood floors like we originally planned or to do stained concrete. I had mentioned the stained concrete to JR when this process first started but he said he wanted wood floors. Then my friend Alexa sent me a message suggesting the stained concrete. Jr happened to check my messages and went to the site Alexa had sent me, which got him thinking about it, and now we dont know what to do. We both agree that the stained concrete creates a very unique look. We both agree that we would do a faux finish on it and maybe even scour the concrete. We also both agree that if we did it we would want to put a large Texas Star design in the entry. The biggest problem is that in my head I still see the wood because that is what I have been thinking for a month now...kind of the same way that I get confused looking at the new blue prints...its the same house, its just a mirror image of the plans we had before. So, as you can see, we still have a few decisions to make, but we have time.
Another crazy thing is that JR was looking at his texts last night and told me that this whole buying a house process began on Oct. 25, when I went out for a girls night with my best friend Dana. It's hard to believe that a month ago, this was just a crazy idea, and now its a crazy reality.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Eat some Turkey for me!
