Whats been going on

Whats up slacker? That's what I've been saying to myself about blogging lately. This is what tends to happen with these blogging adventures of mine. I start off great and then as time progresses my blog digresses. Well a lot has happened in the past week or so since I last checked in. It finally stopped raining for one. I mean it seriously rained for about 2 weeks straight and it was downright miserable. The world didn't end like some were predicting. The Giro d'Italia is still going on, yes its still going on. The seedlings are finally outside hardening off and are going in the ground Saturday. Our favorite outdoor bar opened for the season! Yay for beers overlooking our local golf course which in turn overlooks the LI Sound. Its pretty sweet. And I survived the trip into NYC for Maifest with Caroline and Erica. Great day hanging out on the Hudson River drinking German beer and having fun. Yikes I probably should have kept my sunglasses on for this pic. Geez open ya eyes girl! Some pretty intense looking clouds rolled in so we dipped outta Pier 81 and headed across town to Times Square to check out some of the loonies. It was Judgement Day after all so we were bound to find some kinda scene.
OK well that wasn't hard! But then again its NYC and its Times Square so anything goes! Man I love NYC for all its kookiness and craziness. Theres no other place like it in the world and I wouldn't trade growing up in its shadow for anything! As much as I love the mountains and the slower life people live up north and out west, I have to say that this is where I belong. Which brings me to my last piece of news. We signed a contract on a house today. Yep right here in the town we both were born in, grew up in, and guess what? Its 4 houses away from our current location. Needless to say the inlaws are thrilled. Hubby couldn't even make it off his childhood street for Pete's sake. That's what this town tends to do. I'm not going to get into too much detail about the house just yet because we are still waiting for the sellers to sign the contract and then we have to work out financing. So there are still a lot of "ifs" but we cut a rather large check today and met with the lawyer so we're moving along here. Keep your fingers crossed that this whole thing works out. I'll explain more later on like in mid August.
