Instant Play... Rainy Day

As I've mentioned earlier in the week, the weather has been less than acceptable for the past week in SE Kentucky. Rain Rain Rain for the past several days. Our church had an amazing lake day planned today kayaking, fishing, and of course food with our youth group. We spent about 2 hours there, and then the torrential rain set in. We had to pack it in early and head home.

It is very rare for me to sit and enjoy a movie. Very, very rare. I am ALWAYS on the move at the house either doing some quick cleaning or some half done craft project. I found some extra time today and decided to check out the ol' Netflix. Now... let me tell you about my Netflix experiences...

 

Story of my life! Occasionally, when I'm not glued to a series I venture into the movies. This weekend I was on a Marilyn Monroe kick. By kick, I mean two movies the first I accidentally chose.

 

How to Marry a Millionaire

 

Released in 1953 starring Marilyn Monroe, Betty Grable, and Lauren Bacall

 

These three ladies use their wits, charm, and good looks to try and marry millionaires. They devise a plan to pose as wealthy women in hopes of wooing each a husband.  It is quirky and funny, but ultimately a love story.             I fell in LOVE with Marilyn's glasses! Like I want some now! Of course, she always looks classy.

In true Netflix fashion, once you end one show/movie, they offer a suggestions for you to watch next. I wanted another Marilyn film and settled for Bus Stop.

Small town rodeo rider falls in love with the stunning bar singer. See how this miss matched couple collide. You can take a girl out of the city, but you can't take the city out of the girl. Again... ultimately a love story.              

If you are looking for some old film Marilyn love story.... check these out.

Waiting out the rain and lots of love until next time.

Yes, there are house hunting memes.

Today has been a longggg day.

I seriously called and/or looked at a multitude of houses this week. I hunt down and investigate every nibble people pass along. Every lead this week has been a dud. Already sold, only 1 bathroom, crooked floors, sinking foundation, and septic backup. You name it....we've encountered it.

We have been searching for a home for quite sometime. I am talking like 3 of the 4 years we've been married. In this area, it's extremely difficult to find a decent house, decently priced. They are either overly, overly priced, or doesn't have the essentials we need. The only house we truly fell in love with had MAJOR issues. I will never forget asking to see the partially finished basement, and the realtor's eyes become large and face turn a shade of red you only see in the movies. This would be the septic backup house- literally 2 inches of "backup" covering the entire basement floor. Plus... the entire foundation was a wreck. More trouble than we were willing to work with. We deemed this house "the poop house."

Also, by now, I have a pre-typed list of questions I ask to every seller. In the house hunting business you have to be prepared! I am positive that realtors cringe when they see my list of questions come out. One of my favorite people in the world taught me, you don't know unless you ask!!

Believe me. I have enjoyed my time in my log house, and we love the area. There comes a time though when you want your own space. Somewhere where I can paint the walls lime green and finally tackle all those home pinterest projects without any questions asked.

The only good part today... The mailman was extremely good to me! I got my package from Torrid. Woo hoo!! Not too much damage. Just a couple of shirts and pairs of shoes. Definite Torrid Haul post will be on it's way!

So here's to the continued journey of looking at houses and scratching them off the list one.... by.... one. Lots of love until next time!
