updates

a few updates for you:

the birds have flown the coup. well, actually they dropped out and then wabbled around the neighborhood. i don't think i saw one fly.

found a renter. however, things are a little sketchy. anticipated move = august 1. where am i going to live? don't know.

i leave for europe on monday. can't wait for some gelato.

babies

A few weeks ago I took a broom outside to swat down two birds nests, one on my front porch, the other on the side of my house on the water meter. But then I thought twice. I took my compact mirror and my stool, and discovered beautiful baby blue eggs hidden inside. I left them. Just this week, both nests hatched and now I'm the proud "landlord" to 8 beautiful (very ugly) baby birds.

For Rent.

My big news was going to be that I found a renter but that fell through. I was about 90% sure this girl was going to rent but it didn't work out in the end. My house is still on the rental market with ads on Craigslist and trashy yard signs that have handwritten phone numbers on them. I think they are disgusting but what else am I supposed to do? I've had many inquiries and a few tours but nothing substantial except that one girl. She even liked my purple bedroom. I guess it wasn't meant to be. I'm hoping to make the move in July. That gives me enough time to go to Europe, pack my house, find a place in KC, and move.

I have started my search for an apartment in KC. I haven't found anything I'm in love with yet. Any suggestions?

So that's it. That was the big news. No I'm not engaged, no I'm not having a baby, but I do feel like I'm having a midlife crisis which could end in one of the two senarios mentioned above.
