Stability

We've decided to stay in Madison for a few years! 
(A few, meaning 2, 2 years, 2 full years of knowing where and when we'll be!)

Due to this realization, we are starting to nest.  Getting finnicky with furnishings and decorations and attempting to give our little home a bit of a much needed makeover.

We are also investing in a low quality, high maintenance vehicle.  A death trap.  A money pit.  A bright white 1999 Oldsmobile to be exact, to be picked up from our car mechanic friend later this morning!

My little veggie seedlings are beginnning to sprout (especially after I picked up a spray bottle to water them with a light mist, instead of the giant deluge that was flooding them!) and there's a nice little spot along our back fence where R man has cleared out and envisioned a little garden.  We even bought a garden rake people...full sized....I know!

We are in the market for a kitchen table, curtains, rugs, picture frames and a general sense of belonging....all purchases and things we'd been avoiding so that we'd feel comfortable leaving at any moment with no regrets....now, knowing our circumstances have changed, that's not such an issue...for a few years anyway.

Due to a continuous slight nudge/shove/push by the R man, I'm also in the market for a social hobby, where in I meet other people my age and hopefully make some friends....like some crazy form of awkward dating, but instead of bringing home a nice man to introduce to mom, I'm looking for a group of chicks to bitch to and drink with....if you ask me, this is heading the wrong direction, but whatever!

 Stable.  Organized.  Set.  Comfortable.  Content.
All the things Farmer John or Auntie May take for granted....we want a piece of it...at least to try on and see how it feels, to know the option and enjoy it while we can.
