If anyone knows of cheap property in Ireland or Italy ...

Otherwise known as why I don't like where I am right now.

Its not that I don't like being American, or that Europe has tons of the states, because they both have problems, but I really don't like the city any more, on top of not liking the city I am really not liking suburban sprawl either... that leave the country, and well I have see the country of the states (or what dwindling part of it hasn't been ravaged by a Wal-Mart) and I like the country of Ireland (which is like 95% of the land) and I have seen pics of Italy and that seems pretty nice too.

So my general idea is to find someone who is willing to move bill and me to a place like Ireland and give bill and very nice paying job so that I can stay home and have kids and cook and have a large garden and buy fresh food every day etc. Will someone make my dream come true?

EDIT: I must live near (walking/ bike) distance of said little town because I never liked driving and now gas prices are crazy here and they are even crazier over there. Look at what the price spike has done to my poor little piggy bank!

We saw that movie last night. It's been a while since we went to a movie (early july i think to see wedding crashers) and this was very funny. So go ahead and see it now that you have my word for it.

cleaning

so bill and i are still cleaning up the disaster area that is out living room/dining room area. Major progress was made this weekend, but we still have stacks of boxes against the walls. we were able to set up both the mixer and the espresso machine, and while we have now used the espresso machine the mixer stands sad because it is too damn hot to make cookies.

anyway i am tired and cranky because it is monday. my goal to to try and post atleast 2 times every week on here...

A discussion

Was what Gov. Taft did wrong, or are they prosecuting him on a technicality because they can't link him to the bigger crime?

will this effect the next presidential election?

i'mmmm back!

so I am now mrs. young! yea! The wedding day was perfect. We were blessed with beautiful weather and no major problems throughout the day.

To echo Bill thanks to all who were able to make it out to Cleveland, we both were so happy you could make it. And to those who wanted to be there but couldn't make it, you were missed.

Anyway, hopefully life will be back to "normal" what ever that is. Bill and I have a lot to clean and organize. We have grills to set up and mixers to use. But most importantly, we can now enjoy our marriage and start to live as an “old married couple.”

The honeymoon was perfect by the way. We had a lot of fun and ate way too much every day. I think one of the best things about honeymooning in Disney is that every day until the moment we left people were congratulating us. Of course, the ears helped "notify" them, but it was cool to be walking into our hotel and have 3 or 4 random people yell "congratulations!"
