At ten minutes to seven, Robert and I sped northwards looking for the Crest Theatre where we hoped to see some artsy film that had received good reviews. We must have taken a wrong turn somewhere, and ended up way too far north. By chance, we drove by another theatre in that neighborhood and decided to see whatever was playing there. Knowing absolutely nothing about it, we chose The Diary of Bridget Jones. Both of us were convinved that it was going to suck. The posters made it look like just another sacharine love story. We were both happily surprised by the film. While it WAS a love story, its wittiness made it something special. We laughed a lot and grew to sympathize deeply with the heroine. And of course we couldn’t help acting even more lovey-dovey around one another than we normally do…something about touching stories like that never fails to infect us. I’m going to have to search for the book upon which the film was based.

Home Sweet Home
Here’s a picture of our new house:
We close on May 23rd and will move in over Memorial Day weekend. My brother has agreed to come up to Seattle to help us out. I’m counting the days…
Never in a million years
Never in a million years did I think I would have to go through so many things at once.
Robert and I are buying a house. We accepted the seller’s counter-offer, which was extremely reasonable and are proceeding through the rest of the nerve-wracking process.
Having been remodeled recently, the house is in fantastic condition. My favorite room is the dining room. One wall is fitted up with greenhouse-style windows. It’s the ideal room for daydreaming…sitting at the kitchen table some Saturday morning, sipping coffee and staring out the windows. If it ever turns sunny here, we can walk out the french doors and relax on the deck in the backyard.
The next thing we have to do is buy a car. All we have right now is a little pick-up truck which doesn’t have room for a child seat. I’m not looking forward to doing this. I hate driving in the first place. I’m not thrilled with cars in the second place. You’ll never see me reading Car and Driver.
We are going to be so poor for awhile! But I believe it’s worth it. Thank goodness we’re able to spread these expenses out over the year rather than having them come all at once. We’ll at least be able to eat *g*
