Well, the deed is done. We are the owners of five round trip tickets to New Zealand, departing, er, uh, leaving (that is such a poor choice of words by the airline industry) May 20, arriving May 22, and returning November 30.
Think I'm slightly, or more than slightly nuts to announce such specific information on the internet? What do you think, someone will come rob our house while we're gone? Hey, wait a minute...
ATTENTION INTERNET: WILL SOMEONE PLEASE COME ROB OUR HOUSE WHILE WE'RE GONE? EVERYTHING"S ALL NEATLY BOXED IN THE GARAGE WAITING JUST FOR YOU!
So everything is in place, in spite of a last minute absolutely-perfect-for-us-but-very complicated-deal house that came on the market and instantly had multiple offers on it from people a whole lot more liquid, and let's face it, richer, looking for investment properties rather than a great family home, keeping us safely on track. (Real estate bubble? Flat market? Where?) Last night C and her two boys, our Official Catsitters, came over to meet their feline charges, check out the house, and have some pizza. The kids had a blast even though Sarabelle was convinced up front that the older boy, who she had met previously on the HOOT shoot, was going to be a complete nerd. I had to remind Miss Nerdy Spelling Bee Homeschooler that she didn't have room to talk. He's a very nice kid and they had many interests including drawing, writing, and movie-making in common. In fact, they all got on so well they're wondering when we can do it again.
And speaking of HOOT, writing, and movie-making, the world premiere of HOOT is scheduled right here and my secret boyfriend Carl Hiaasen will be attending and I am taking up stalking.
