RN, every time i think the rain is going to end it comes back with a roar...everything is flooded. has anyone declared this an el nino yet? it sure seems like one. people are sandbagging in this area.

on the positive side a gal came to see the house this afternoon. of course, we had one hour's notice and did i mention that some of the hardwood floor was coming up right inside the front door?!!!
eeek! dd ran around and dusted and vacuumed and i had to repair the floor. did dh leave any tools down here? no! i finally found an old sheet of sandpaper and had to shave and shave on the edge of one of the hardwood squares to get it to fit back in. fortunately, i found the floor glue and got the piece back in with only minutes to spare. i was so afraid it would pop back up while the buyer was here! phew, it stayed in place. the agent called me later and said she thinks the lady will make an offer. the lady told her she was trying to reach her lender who was on a trip to vegas; supposedly she is prequalified in our price range. let's hope for both an offer and an amount we can live with. tabby crosses eyes, toes and belly button.
oh, and i could not move the huge limb that came down from a tree out front but the agent said not to worry about it. didn't seem to bother the potential buyer, either. she said the storm has been bad where she lives, too.

RN, I've got my fingers crossed for you, Tabbyking!

RN, I'm also in admiration of your ability to find solutions quickly, despite the craziness around you! :-)

RN, Tabby, please feel free to send the rain my way. We are burning up in Texas - literally. Usually the sky is lit up with fireworks on New Year's. This year, on a 15-mile drive home at 12:30 am, we only saw one set of fireworks. Although it was very sad, thankfully people paid attention to the danger. I was so proud of Travis because when he learned four people had died in the fires, he quit bugging me to buy him some fireworks and said he didn't want any (he wasn't getting them anyway).

RN, FYI, our average annual rainfall in Dallas is 34 inches. For 2004, we had 45. For 2005, we had 20.

Right now boo hoo. I turned on my TV and I no longer have The Tennis Channel, which Comcast had been giving me for free. And apparently it was a mistake! Ha! But even worse? I no longer have my beloved French station either. And that would cost me $15/month to keep....no more French news, talk shows, or Francophone African sports coverage for me. Oh well. C'est la guerre.

Right now ... oh Tishala I so feel for you! No more James Blake, Andy Roddick or Andre Agassi! And I don't know what I'd do without the French Open or Wimbeldon. Seriously ... I love tennis!! I'm so feeling for you! Thank god for ESPN.

Right now...I know, Vacanick! I've been watching the Hopman Cup from Australia on TTC. Last night I got to watch mixed doubles--imagine that!--featuring Taylor Dent [adorable] and Lisa Raymond. And of course Mr. Blake and I have had an ongoing torrid affair. In my head.

RN, the rain has let up but the saturated ground makes for heavy fog, which is already coming in.
keeping my fingers crossed that we hear some good news about an offer on the house today...
the real estate agent's husband took the tree limb for me, and considering his hunting dog killed our cat a few years back, makes us a little closer to even, but i will offer to pay him for the trip to the dump, because i could not move that tree with our bug! yes, that was all one sentence! anyway, the limb was so huge the guy had to cut the branches off and then cut the limb in thirds to get it in his full-size gmc pickup.
now i just have to clean up all the residue and smaller branches and leaves from the circular drive.
turns out they aren't 'out of dsl equipment' where we are moving, they are out of 'dsl slots', which means we have to wait until someone quits service to move up the waiting list! guess who will have to have dial-up for a while?! ackkk...it's been a long time!

RN: I am home sick from work. Soar throat and all. I had to call in which makes me worry my job is in jeopardy. I hate that. And my new assisstant is wonderful and steps up to the plate whenever i need her and does a great job, to add insult to injury. I am nervous about maternity leave and being off for 15 weeks. Oy'. I do feel better now than I did this morning. I have some great picturs of the rivers which I will upload.

Also: this weekend i bought DD a pony. The cutest sweetest little pony you have ever seen. DD named her Dora, which fits her perfectly. I won't say what a steal I got her for, but she is a ball of fluff with legs. All black, just like the one i had when i was her age.

Rn, Max, a Poutine is a plate of French fries, hot gravy and mozza cheese over top, nuked until cheese is melted. Looks awful, tastes wonderful.
