Two houses!!!!!!

Here's the scoop on the house.

We have bought ourselves a new house. It's a 1 and 1/2 story old farmhouse typoe house with 4 bedrooms (all the kids get their own room. Hardwood floors throughout and a huge lot that backs on to the river. It's a fabulous house...or it will be when we do a little work to it. But the location is perfect and we've never been afraid of a little work.

The only problem being...we haven't actually sold our present house yet.

Yikes!

We still have 3 months to do it before we become the proud owners of two mortgage payments

Again - Yikes!

I'm a little concerned. If we were to get stuck with two mortgage payments, well, let's just say it wouldn't be good for the old finances or the old marriage for that matter.

Which is not good considering the hubby and I have just stumbled through a pretty rough patch and I think (THINK) we are battle-scarred but unbowed.

Being grown up is NOT all it's cracked up to be.

On the other hand I've decided to start something on here called "Lori's Book Pick's" Since I must read for a living I decided to share my great book finds with anyone who should havppen to stumble across this page.

My first title...The Time Travelers Wife by Audrey Niffennegger (not sure if that's the correct spelling of her name and frankly, I'm too lazy to get up to double check).
This book is excellent. Good story. Tight writing. Suspenseful, romantic.

It's about Henry who is a time traveller. He has no control over it, it just sometimes happens. He meets Clair when she is a small girl and throughout her life. It's the hardest book in the world to summarize but it is probably one of my top ten books.

Try it! Seriously.
Let me know what you think.
