*Poof*



dear fairy godmother,
please magically come and unpack all of my boxes, explain to my poor readers- if i have any left- why i have been gone so long (not having access to the internet is a real you-know-what), help taylor realize that she doesn't need to wake up at 4:30 AM to tell me to read her a book, and lastly- make me not envious of this beautifully decorated/ perfection of a house.....oh, and is it too much to ask to throw in that part about: and they all lived happily ever after (i could really use that right about now)??!
thanks bunches-

    no lie...I just logged onto one kings lane before I came here and I stared at the image for probably .5 hour. Then I went outside to see if that color would look good on my door. My paint color is briarwood which I'm over now but it's close to the color of this house....thinking the blue may hold me over! I would then have to sedate my 1.5 year old yellow lab to sit so nicely in front of it.

    Unpack one box at a time and consider re-packing the books for now :)

    Oh my. I do feel your pain. I have moved houses more than I'd like to admit. You can do this... as one smart blogger has already remarked... one box at a time.

    Two year ago this week, my husband and I moved from Toronto to Dallas and into our most recent house. Nightmare.

    Three years ago, the week after Christmas, we moved from Dallas to Toronto.

    I could bore you with the many other moves (dozens) all at really crappy times of the year, but just know that you will get through. Good luck... one box at a time. Or three.

    I LOVE this post!!! And especially that last pic. Hey, can I borrow your Fairy Godmother? Promise I'll have her back after she organizes my house, decorates for Christmas and gives me a clone.

    Your readers are still here!

    Don't you worry, I will certainly be here, whenever you are back. Take it easy, unpack slowly and enjoy a little holiday spirit in between!
    Say Hi to the Fairy Godmother, I could use her too once in a while...

    If I had a magic wand, I'd wave it in your direction.

    I recently had to take an extended leave from my blog...I had no time to write. I felt like I was missing out by not having time to read other blogs, but I did return refreshed, refocused, and ready to jump back in. I needed the break. So enjoy your time and know we will be right here waiting for you.
