The Gypsies are coming!!! The Gypsies are coming!!!!

Well I have aprox. One week before all hell breaks loose at work and Banquet season officially begins... And what a way to kick it all off with a big old fashioned Gypsy wedding... As of this moment I wish I was put on bed rest and not required to come back for about a month and a half. After the "beloved" gypsies are gone we have another group well known for rudeness and complaints and unstoppable hunger... They are called the Northwest Marketers Association... About 300 or more vendors and their staff invade our hotel for 3 days and nights and make the staff at the hotel near suicide... I have dealt with this group for 5 years now and seeing that they come 2 times a year makes me no novice to their dramas and problems. And soon after they leave we have the very strange and eccentric tea drinking art and soul ladies who try to entrap you with their tarrot card reading spirituality... Yes, their crafts are quite lovely... But they (most of them) have the manners and etiquette of someone raised in a barn. Very rude and impatient. And all of these groups will be taking place in one month!!! I hope I don't have an episode.... Or maybe I do.

John and I are trying to get out and start to look at homes. The small two bedroom apartment barely fits the two of us and with not much more room to fit a crib let alone the million of other things that come with having a baby. Our lease is up at the end of November so I would of course like to find something before then, I won't be too big, hopefully, then and will be able to do lots of packing and moving things around. I would of course like time to set up a nursery and start nesting after we move instead of before... I have found quite a few on craigslist and I was wondering if anyone could take a quick look to see if any of them stick out. We are looking in Clackamas county, Milwaukee, Clackamas, happy valley Damascus but not too far out in Estacada or Corbett or Molalla... Price range 250-375k. 3 bed 2 bath. Preferably not a manufactured home and with a decent yard... Thanks

Well I must off to work... I hope the few of you who went on the church campout this year had a good time... Talk to you later. Love Andrea
