Excitement...

Well, it was an exciting weekend.

We didn't get another call from the bank after that last house update *falls over with shock.* However, although we aren't anywhere near getting into OUR house, plenty of other people are getting into OUR house. I say OUR house because, staring at the house next door day after day, I've become a bit possessive even though the real estate gods that be haven't yet granted the request of our fervent prayer.

Anyways. We got "home" well after dark Friday evening at the same time some unknown people were parking their giant white truck in OUR house's driveway and heading on in. Like they OWNED the place. We called our realtor (with whom the house is listed), and, by the time he called us back to say he wasn't aware of anyone supposed to be in the house, the local police arrived. Of course, the white truck had already sped away only moments before, but we told the officers what we had seen and then received orders to just call them right away if we see any more suspicious behavior. Will do.

Of course, this isn't the first time something like this has happened. The former owners keep coming back and loading up truckfuls of their junk (and, yes, I do qualify wooden snowmen and various other hideous crafts as junk) even though the house is in foreclosure and they aren't supposed to be there (they still have a garage door opener and that's what they use to get in, crafty buggars). It isn't the first time the police have been called, either. There's lots of bad karma going on right now that we're going to have to rectify later. It will probably have to involve some New Age woman named Serena and lots of incense. Along with a ton of heavy new locks.

After that eventful Friday evening, I spent a lovely Saturday with three of my best gal pals in Terre Haute. I don't get to see enough of them, and it was a definite treat to chat live and in person as opposed to e-mail, IM, or phone. They make me all smiley inside.

And the excitement continues. Husband began his brand spakin' new job today. I know he will be wonderful! Life is falling into place. Now, if only we had somewhere to live...
