dyk I watched the Rosie show with Jenny McCarthy and when she talks about her son, it's incredibly moving

dyk she's a great activist for healing and intervention

dyk but it made me realize, we need to move out of the autism groups and get connected with bipolar stuff

dyk Sean did NOT have luck with the cars he was heading to look at "bunch of junk" were his exact words

dyk he's headed back -- well I thought he'd be home by now

dyk who knows what they are up to -- he and his friend Jeb are easily distracted

dyk and he's not answering my texts

Dyk so we have friends who have their house, plus another one that one of them owned before they got married. They've tried to sell it a few times, but have mostly been renting it out.

Dyk they listed it for sale again and it's a GREAT price. I would live to be able to buy it.

Dyk I'd like to move out of my parents house, and pete really, really wants to move. (not that he doesn't get along with my parents and appreciate what they've done for us, but he just wants us to have our own space).

Dyk but this 9 month maternity leave has really put a dent in our savings, lol. I just don't have the money for a down payment right now.

Dyk there should be such a thing as rent-to-buy, like where you rent the place and eventually the rent you've paid goes towards a down payment.

Dyk I'd move tomorrow.

Dyk it a small house, but it would suit our needs just fine for right now.

Dyk it's 2 br, 1.5 baths. Huge yard, tons of kitchen cabinet space, hardwoods throughout.

Dyk the second bedroom would probably end up an office/closet since Iz doesn't need her own room yet.

Dyk I've got to stop thinking about this.

Dyk so anyway, I still haven't figured out what my veggie or dessert will be for thanksgiving.

Dyk I did most of my shopping last weekend, and I'll try and get the rest this weekend.

Dyk I hate grocery stores the closer we get to thanksgiving. So many people and everyone's rushed and cranky.
