Mine, Mine, ALL MINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just wanted to let you all know, that as of 1:45 PM Wednesday afternoon, I am the OFFICIAL OWNER OF MY VERY OWN HOME!!!!!!!!

*doing a happy dance*

Last night I officially began to "move in" to the house I've been living in (as a renter) for 2 years. I got out my hammer, and a two little nails... and hung up my FIRST WORK OF ART!!!!!!


Tammy V gave this to me as a house-warming present! I LOVE it because it it has an awesome intricate design, a pretty color, AND it perfectly represents what my life is doing... blooming and growing and expanding. I hung it up on the wall, in a place where I see it first thing in the morning when I wake up. Here's a closer-up pic of it, but the color is wonky:


And then I hung up my second piece of art for her, right by the doorway so that I see it every morning, right before I leave my bedroom. *happy sigh*


I also bribed my inner ADHD child by telling her no art-hanging until the room was clean... surprisingly, not only did she get most of the cleaning done, she also spent 45 minutes working on the yard (pretty-smelling flowers are blooming now... *happy sigh*) and then watched CSI while organizing my food storage containers! She DEFINATELY deserved to hang up her art!
Anyway... my point is....
I own my house!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wooooo!!!!

Ah... do you also love CSI? I tried once to break my habit of watching it but I couldn't. I love it too much!

Hope you are well! Great CaC post too, by the way. :)

Oh WOW! Congratulations - what a wonderful accomplishment.
Must check CaC soon. Haven't been there for awhile.
your ADHD child - how old? Good for her for the concentration and missions accomplished. I know all about "that child". Ours is 15 years now.
Hugs,
Wendy
