Oklahoma aka the 7th circle of hell - Part 1

Well we made it back in one piece, just barely. Oh, what a trip. It begins with a 14 hour car ride with 6 of us in the Explorer, amazingly enough there was not a single, she's touching me, or stop looking at me to be heard, there was a small debate over our direction of travel but all in all things started off fairly well. We arrive at the Tera Miranda Resort and Marina, sounds nice right? wrong! it was beyond description but I will try my best. First thing you see when you walk in is a double bed on the screened in porch and you think they expect somebody to sleep in here? you get to the main door and go to use the key they give you when you checked in only there is no need as the lock does not work anyway, apparantly the keys are just for show. So you get inside and the walls are army green and judging by the smell it is not paint but rather a thick layer of mildew, you look to the right and wonder if you haven't stepped into an antique mall as the kitchen appliances and cabinets date back to the late 50's or early 60's, the same impulse that makes you stare at a gruesome car wreck forces you to continue the tour where you find rusted out sinks in the bathroom, leaky air conditioners, a bath tub with a shower built for pygmys while the other shower promises the need for a tetanus shot. After the grand tour you lay down to get some sleep thinking maybe things will look better in the morning, only as you turn off the light and close your eyes you feel something on your face you swipe it off thinking it could be a hair but then it happens again and again and you notice your husband swiping at his face too so your turn the light on to find some species of bug crawling out of the light on the ceiling and dropping onto your bed and you realize you have entered the 7th circle of hell.

Busy Days

Well here I go with another attempt to get this blog started, we will see if I can do any better. Still waiting to get this house sold, I know it has only been 2 months but that seems like a long time and it is hard to be patient. We did find a house that we are interested in but it is a short sale so we are looking at a long process to get anywhere with that as well. Baileigh is enjoying the summer program with her school, she goes for a half day 3 days a week they do swim lessons every Tuesday and Thursday and a field trip every Wednesday so far they have gone to Chuck E Cheese and the North Pole, the rest of the time she hangs out with me. I am keeping myself busy between Baileigh, the house, and the gym. Jeremy and I have also been invited to a bi-weekly poker group that we went to for the first time last weekend. I had never played Texas Hold Em before but managed to come in third which was still in the money. Gotta love beginners luck! Thats about it for now, going on vacation next week and will try to post when I get home.
