I am just jumping for joy lately!!!

I just can't stand it!!! I just want to jump on the highest skyscraper and scream all my good news here lately.

We sold out house. 8 long months and it finally happened.

2 days later we got our electricity back.

That same day our offer was put in, while the original offer was not accepted, they came close with the counter-plus we got blinds (it's a brand new house, so we need those), closing costs and a new fridge! (I wanted a second fridge so bad)

My dad's in town helping to restore power-while i haven't gotten to actually hang out with him, he is here and that counts. (he lives in central Mississippi for those that don't know)

And with in 14 hours 2 people that I care deeply for contacted me to let me know they are pregnant!!! But what makes that even more special-they both suffered miscarriages recently. While all of my news is wonderful-I would give it all back, just to have that last bit of great news!!!! (I can't say names yet, because they may not want everyone to know-so that will come later)

On another note-today I went out and in my quest to be a little more "green" bought FANCY napkins!!! No paper towels for us-we get cloth!! lol I was never a paper napkin person, but paper towels were used a lot. (as opposed to some family members that buy paper towels AND the folder paper napkins) With my family of 5-that's a lot of paper towels. Bed, Bath and Beyond had a lot on clearance so I snatched em up. I also bought some of that Holy Cow cleaning stuff. We'll see how I like that. I ran out of coupons, but I am going back to get the microfiber cloths and the dryer balls. Heck, I'm even gonna try hanging my clothes out to dry!! (that may not go over with me, but I WILL try!)

One thing I haven't been able to give up is air freshners. Does anyone know of any "green" air freshners? I HATE...DESPISE....DETEST.....CAN'T STAND incense, so no go there. If you know any green hints-give em to me!! But don't talk about showering every other day-uh huh. no way! :-)
