Is My Phone Broken?

Remember when that one special guy looked at you? You knew he was looking at you and you knew he knew who you were. You went home and waited for the phone to ring.

Well, I'm waiting. I'm about to chew my hands off waiting.

We knew when we fell for that house that we would be the ridicule of the village. Our friends would up and move in the dark of night just to keep us from asking them to help us move again. But I told you about it and you were so encouraging and supportive. Never did I ever imagine I could find so many kindred spirits (and really good people willing to smile at my ridiculous ideas and accept me for the flake that I really am).

So now I am waiting. Waiting for the Estate Agent to call me back and say, "She wants you in her house, she said yes, Jan. 1st is perfect!" (I'll settle for "fine", "ok", "it'll cost you"-- anything but this silence).

She said she'd call "Next week". What does "next week" mean?

Addendum: She called!! and I wasn't home. and her message said she'd call again tomorrow...

  2. If people can accept me for painting my house purple, I can definitely accept you for falling in love with a house! Let's hope it's good news when she calls back tomorrow!!!

  3. Oh gosh, now the wait to find out her answer. Now I'm anxious to find out...I won't chew my hands though! Very hard to type with chewed up hands!

  4. AAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!

    But on the bright side, she must mean YES. Because a NO would have been a cold message on the machine.

  10. Hmmmm ... my internet went on the blink so I have been out of the loop since yesterday. Came back to find you in a tizzy. RELAX relax relax ... WAIT! I'm getting too excited!!! Call, already, CALL BACK so we can find out!!! I just love a good read -- even better when it is REAL LIFE! I'm praying for you (peace, calm, wish-fulfillment). I'm off to have a cup of tea and a moment of relaxation -- I'll check back later! (Whew whatta way to start the day!)
