Hello? *tap, tap* Hello?
Is there anyone left? I know I’ve abandoned you for… for… well it might as well be forever with the average attention span of a blogger.
I’m sorry. I know. I’ve been very, very bad and a select few of you will be allowed to punish me. No, not you. You, sit down. *sigh*
ANYway… let’s see, what has happened since the last time I posted….
Oh yeah. I, um, bought a house. In Florida. A brand spanking new house in a fancy schmancy neighborhood (back off spell checker - schmancy is totally a word!).
So there’s that.
Um… what else…
Oh, well I sold house #2. Last night. At about 9:15pm. I guess the technical term is “I accepted an offer on my house”. Or, is it, “I accepted an offer on my house exactly one fucking week after it went on the market!!!!!”? ToMAYto, ToMAHto.
Yeah. So. In less than a week I have sold two houses, bought another one, and been approved for financing on my new beautiful brand fucking new no one has ever pooped in the toilet house. And, as of this morning, my boss has officially approved me to keep working from Florida. Yay!
And?
I have to be out August 10th.
30 Days.
Holy. Shit.
I still can’t believe we did it. The months and months of hard work. The late nights. The days without showering and being covered in dirt and dust and paint. The bickering and the arguing about paint color and landscaping and what to fix and what to leave. The absolute break downs and sobbing when it seemed like we were in way over our heads. When it seemed like “they” were right, and we were crazy. The what if’s. The contingency plans. The constant yo yo between day dreaming bliss and absolute despair.
It’s all led up to this. The most perfectly laid out previous five days. It makes me dizzy thinking about how wonderfully everything has fallen into place.
I will be posting pictures and details and constant gushing over the next couple days. Then, of course, I will be posting whining and ranting and constant bitching for the next few weeks as I attempt to move a family of four 1428 miles.
But for now… for now I’m just basking. For now I’m just enjoying this:
Psst... thanks for stopping by! I hope I didn't traumatize you too badly on your first visit. Remember to subscribe to my RSS feed if you want updates from the site!

Do you get to keep the cardboard cut-out of Avitable?

Fuckin’ A!!11
(Well, at least with the hurried move to Florida we *may* still have some funny-as-shit posts… because frankly, shit is funny. Or shit smell. Farts. The Zoo. What-evah!)

Great house. We moved three people half as far and it was HELL. At least the move will provide fodder for many, many blog posts.
And the Florida humidity will totally fuck with your hair. In MA I had straight hair. Moved back to AL, now rockin an white girl afro - and not on purpose either!

avitable when was the last time I reminded you about my collection of compromising photos?
RW: hell no! I made sure they included, in wrting, that they will haul that fucker away.
Have to keep up the neighborhood, ya know?
sam: :lmfao: your concern for my blog health is heart warming.
Blue Momma: One word: Aveda
Thanks to the magical goodness of wheat and moss and all kinds of dirt my stylist has convinced me to put in my hair, the curls seem to hold up quite nicely in the Florida weather. Thus far.
Of course, I will now be required to keep it ridiculously long.
Angel: Thank you!!!!!
themuttprincess: awwwwwww - thanks sweetie!!!

[Reply]
Awesome! Is that really Avitable in the picture? I can’t tell when it isn’t a cartoon!
I have a shoe “contest” up at BPR If you are interested…
[Reply]
Wow!! Congrats! See I must have been under a heavy rock somewhere because I didn’t know that you were going ahead with a move to Florida, I knew you were trying to sell your house, but I didn’t know! I am so very excited for you and your family!
[Reply]
Congrats!! Moving can be fun because it’s new and stuff. Good luck!
[Reply]
Awesome! Beautiful house. I think we need to make book on which member of your family gets to use the toilet first. I’m good for $10.00 on your youngest kid.
[Reply]
HOORAY!!!!!! I’m sooooo proud of you guys!!
You give me wings, baby.
[Reply]
Congrats Britt. Glad to hear everything’s working out so smoothly so far. Those are 3 big fucking thins all done in a week.
BTW, nice meeting you.
Now, I’ll go back to being a shit.
Unlike Adam who at this moment is making one.. You know where.
[Reply]
Holy Shit!! That will be a big ole culture shock move!! Good for you!
But BBops, what about leaving BBops? Now I have no one to eat them vicariously through! Damn!
[Reply]
Yay! Congratulations!!
[Reply]
Awesome. You have an insane amount of luck thrown in with all that good planning. What great news your boss will let you work from FL also!
I hated moving 15 miles let alone half way across the country.
[Reply]
You are welcome. You deserve it!!!!
[Reply]
Yay!!! We will be on the same coast now.
So very happy for you and the family.
You know what this means? You really are closer to getting on the SPA bus.
[Reply]
YAAAAAAAY! Congratulations!!! That’s a gorgeous house, from the outside. You have to post gorgeous inside pics in a few months when it’s all settled. :)

Mom: AWWWWWWW
Thanks again, couldn’t have done it without you. On so many levels.
Clown: nice to meet you too - you weren’t nearly as awful as Adam made you sound.
Although he told me what you said about me after I left. A bit condescending don’t you think?
Woman Lost: I know! There are, like, people with different colored skin! And languages! And *gasp* religions!!
jennyryan: thankya much!!
Fogspinner: definitely agree - more luck in the last 5 days than the last five years combined almost. Almost.

The LAPD, the FBI, and the CIA are all trying to prove that they are the best at apprehending criminals. The President decides to give them a test. He releases a rabbit into a forest and each of them has to catch it.
The CIA goes in. They place animal informants throughout the forest. They question all plant and mineral witnesses. After three months of extensive investigations they conclude that rabbits do not exist.
The FBI goes in. After two weeks with no leads they burn the forest, killing everything in it, including the rabbit, and they make no apologies. The rabbit had it coming.
The LAPD goes in. They come out two hours later with a badly beaten bear. The bear is yelling: “Okay! Okay! I’m a rabbit! I’m a rabbit!”

Whut? You think Florida’s funnier than small-town Iowa? (OK, there are a gazillion Jewish retirees, but other than that…)
[Reply]
Congrats! I’m sure I speak for everyone when I say we look forward to regular posts from you.
[Reply]
I’m super excited for you and can’t wait to hear all the little details about the house and the move!
[Reply]
I’m pretty sure that the plumbers test out the toilet when they install them. I’m sure he took a massive shit in it just to make sure it could handle it.
[Reply]
Woo Hoo Welcome to Florida. Once my brank spanking new boobies heal, I will do a boobie dance for you!! (just done today, see how addicted I am) God is this sick or what!
[Reply]
Kellie: excited and nervous - that’s me exactly right now
Jacki: I’m due! LOL
Rick: did I say funnier?? I don’t think funnier. I think WARMER. And that’s good enough for me.
Jay: I’ll try. Promise I will!
Sheila: you’re soooo gonna regret saying that!
Nobody™: this is me ignoring you and your evil suggestions!!
Trishk: can I, by any chance, have your old ones? I hear recycling is big down there.
[Reply]
Congrats Britt!! You see it was all worth it
The house is awesome!! At some point, I am going to have to come down and hang out with you and Adam, like FOR REAL!! I have to meet my two favorite people…it’s one of my goals before I die….it’s kinda like the Make A Wish Foundation thingy. Anyways, Soooo off the point…congrats again.
