Hoping for Happy Endings...

So today I am trying to keep my spirit's up, after my little rant on yesterday's post. I also talked to DH this morning about possibly waiting a year to buy and renting instead. He was semi-agreeable to it... actually more agreeable to discussing it further and doing some research about sitting down with our finances. So i guess we'll see what happens. All of this was fine and dandy til it struck me with the one BIG reason of why I wasn't considering renting... Scooter and Rio (OK, actually maybe not one big reason, rather two, tiny yet oh-so-cute reasons!) Most apts don't allow pets... yet alone 2 dogs... who at times can be quite "yappy"... So I'm not saying that renting is totally out for us, but I've looked for pet friendly places before, and trust me, they are few and far between. All in all, I guess I shouldn't be thinking/worrying about this until we have an offer on our place. So I'm making a conscious effort not to.
In other news, my good friend is ready to give birth any day now. I am super excited for her and can't wait to meet her new son/daughter. I actually think at this moment I may be more excited than she is! Right now, she's just tired and nervous, but I know once this is over she will be very happy and such a good mom. I'm so happy I'm friends with her again. We met in college, were best friends most of the way thru... after college still close... eventually the claws came out in our group of friends and I'll spare you the catty details but we stopped talking. It was a hard time for me, i was very angry with her for a lot of things that looking back now were stupid, immature and in a sense my fault, because I never spoke up about anything I was feeling. Anyway, as happy endings go, she IM'ed me about a year and a half ago, randomly and we "talked" for about 3 hours on IM, then eventually the phone, then eventually met up... I am really very very happy to have her back in my life. I do still feel badly that so much time has gone by but look forward to the many more we will have together. I missed out on her wedding because of us not talking, she did come to mine, and i think that is why I am so excited to be able to be there for her as she brings the newest member of her family into the world.
Anyway, its a gorgeous almost 70 degree day out here, who knows, maybe a baby will be born or we'll get an offer... a girl can hope can't she?
