My Life as Activities Director

Install carpet here, here and there.
Paint this, that and the other.
Wrap, wrap, wrap the china.
Pack heavy books into the small boxes.
Pry tape gun from 8mos Rosa Jane's sticky fingers.
Purge clothes from closet.
Empty dishwasher daily.
Play mental games with furniture in new space.
Transfer electric, cable, water, propane, garbage, etc.

Saturday at the new house we noticed a newborn fawn curled up in the backyard flowerbed. She wasn't moving a muscle all save wittle nose twitches. I couldn't resist petting it.

This morning while participating in round II at the dentist, I'm telling them about our sweet wildlife fortune... they are quick to point out how the deer love to eat roses and any other prettiness I might desire for our landscaping. If that weren't enough, they even shared horror stories of maulings by aggressive deer --just what the reindeer, the pixie junior (RJ the PJ), the kb-ster, and hank bob speckled pants really need. :-)

If we needed any more signs that this house is perfect for us: there is a new elementary school being built and scheduled to open next August. It is a half mile and easy walking distance from the new house and across from the swim center. The Seller just won the school board election. I told him we were counting on him to do great things.

Also, as you are driving, the streets preceeding our turnoff are named after kindred reindeer: Comet, Vixen, Dasher, etc. We should apply to change Rudder to Donner. Besides, Roedners on Rudder is quite the alliteration and nevermind Rosa Roedner on Rudder. Try it. Say it three times fast and where does it get you? Thinking Roedners on Donner is much better, eh? ;-)

We close on Friday and we're thinking of taking the inflatable mattress, RJ's pack n' play, and Hank to camp out at the new locale. What do you think?

Here is my latest nickname for my big crush:
Rosie Posie, Parker-Posey-Sunshine-Head
You should see her smile.
