Try To Make It Real? Compared To What?

Hey y'all

I've been thinking about the chorus in this song as I've been reading posts this week.




I have decided to spill some more 'real' than I normally do.


My biggest problem--trying to hold back.

So basics


--after a 12 year marriage(15 year relationship) I am divorcing. It's profoundly odd to draft your own divorce paperwork when that's what you do for your living.

--I really wanted to stay in my current house. I found it after a six month search. I pushed for it. I designed the kick ass deck. I was kinda invested.

--I took the advice I give my clients---I took the deal I offered--which means me moving out of that house.

--It's a very involved process buying a new house--but it's so awesome. I am psyched about the new house--I have pics and want to be all *squeeeee* BUT I don't want to jinx it.

--When I pull into the driveway--from the very first time I pulled into the driveway--it had that 'home'feel --and that's a feeling you don't walk away from easily.

Oh my--there is so much more.

However I must be prudent and leave you lusting after Taylor.

I'll share soon.

Smooches and gropes babies!

I have to say, that Taylor clip left me wanting more.

Avitable said...

Good luck with the new house and new life. It will be very exciting!

HoosierGirl5 said...

Sorry about the divorce. Been there, done that. And I'm really sorry about the house. I got the house in the divorce, but that's mainly because I got the 4 kids, too.

Hang in there.

Turnbaby said...

Matty: That's okay--you are just a chicken because you know the power of Taylor will overwhelm you;-)

Avi: Thanks sugar--Can't wait to start it.


HoosierGirl: At first I was really sorry about the house. Now I'm really excited to be going to a house where there will be joy and no bad vibes hanging about.

Miss Britt said...

I can't wait to see pictures of the house.

Turnbaby said...

Britt: As soon as I have a firm closing date they are going up.

Robin said...

I have NO idea what you are talking about, I'm so confused ;)

Side note: Are you a divorce lawyer? Man, I bet you would have been astronomically better than my hubby's lawyer was ((sigh)).

Southern Sage said...

Turnbaby said...

Robin: I'm sorry you are confused sugar. I getting divorced and buying a house. And yes--I am a divorce lawyer.


SS: Awesome!

Robin said...

Sorry you didn't get my sarcasm, that was what the ;) was for :D

Desert Songbird said...

TB, I'm so sorry about the end of your marriage. It's never easy, even when it's for the best. *sigh* Hang in there.

Hope the house purchase works out!

Turnbaby said...

Robin: I'm sorry too sugar--I am officially too tired today ;-)


Songbird: That is very true. Thank you.

metalmom said...

Slap a huge L on my head! ;)

I hope EVERYTHING works out for you. I'll keep my goofy eyes crossed for good luck!

Turnbaby said...

MM: *groping while slapping the L sign on your forehead* I'm a multi-tasker

Dr. Cissa Fireheart said...

I am happy for you. You are getting what you want out of life. I am happy for your confession over at Hilly's.

I wish you and your new house and soon to be new "roommate" all the best!

*hugs and warm lovies*

Turnbaby said...

Cissa: Thank you so much!

Poppy Cede said...

Every time I go back to the house I get physically ill.

New house equals new start, so you're doing the very right thing.

Can't wait until you've closed on the new one!!!

Turnbaby said...

Poppy: I've been taking care to begin divesting myself of caring about the house. I did buy spray for the roses yesterday though;-)

I like the idea of a new start. I'll plant more roses.

As soon as I have a firm closing date y'all will be inundated with house stuff! Good luck with yours sugar.
