Jonesing for a new place

I don't know why he did it to me. I would have just gone on stepping over the dogs and dodging the little fluttery thing, muttering to myself about stupid mill this and tight quarters in the dyeroom that. Blah blah blah. He has to show me one of those real estate listings for the little village of my choice, up in the Sierra foothills. I put a curse on his shoelaces. He had to show me a 5 year old 4 bedroom house on 5 acres, with city water (I am a city girl) and a 1500 foot insulated work building with a built in office. Are you kidding me? This is torture...total and complete. Oh yeah, and it is 17 miles from The Daughter and Schnicklefritz. He is killing me...taking years off of my life with all of this jonesing because he still has a few months left on his contract. Of course The Daughter catches a whiff of it and in her Aries way begins to try to make it happen...come on up and we'll go look at it. Nah, daddy is digging post holes all weekend for the damned deer fence, which leaves me free to work orrrrrrrrr...torture myself with a 90 minute trip east to see my grandson. The timing...the timing stinks. Maybe this just means that we buy something and install such a building ourselves when the timing is right. The last time that I was Jonesing for a building was when I was waxing poetic about a barn with potential...this building has skylights, windows and insulation. AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

Oh...speaking of The Yarn Problem. We fixed it...the supplier gets a gold star and I get to give you the good stuff. Win win win.

Oh...it was a full house around here yesterday. Not only did I have Tink and Audrey but I found out that Tinkerbelle has a mama and the mama likes to knit. Yup...there was no stepping over the dogs but there was quite the party atmosphere here around lunchtime. Mama was great and became the proud owner of a perfect set of Sheila's buttons to go with her completed cardigan.

All of this jonesing makes me clean house...a good thing, I guess. SIGH...

Office, windows, skylight and insulation, close to DD and Snicklefritz. Oh man, this has to come together. This must be why the other one didn't happen. Are the planets lined up right?

[AlisonH]

I'm thinking, GO! Go see! At least then you'll know.

[vanessa]

buy the damn house, if i had a schnitzleftritz i'd do ANYTHING to be close to him ;-0

Hmmm, and . . . what, exactly, is the PROBLEM? Sounds pretty perfect to me!

[Barb]

A few months on his contract? By the time the deal closed, there would be even less time left on his contract! There is a reason that things fall into place by dear. Go look-see. go!

[Jan Clark]

And he likes it too? Go, girl.
(But don't take Tank. He'd stuff the ballot box).

Ahh, still thinking about moving.....?? Let your heart make the dicision...if the house, is good....and affordable...space etc.......then why not!:-)

Hehe..when you are done cleaning.....could you come by our house......things looks like a mess here.....could use some cleaning when Mike is done.....!!*GIGGLE*

[Vicki S]

The Sierra foothills sound absurdly delicious. Sigh. Seems like a Must Do to me, kiddo!

[Denise]

I'm late to the conversation (as usual!). So, did you go look at it? It sounds perfect, especially with the Schnicklfritz proximity!

[June]

Sounds great! What's the catch? Or, rephrased, what are the reasons to stay where you are?

Oh...The Husband still has a job and we would have to move ourselves and our mothers...a couple of major trees across the road. The timing just seems to always be slightly OFF...perhaps this came about to force me to ask for what I want, which would be such a building with the plumbing installed, ready to for the Dyeworks. Shutting down the business to get the house ready for civilians AND move is still a freak show. Perhaps once I get through Stitches East and West, I will have a message from the ether...the house may still be on the market, who knows.
