Big Girls Don't Cry

"Big Girls don't cry. Big girls don't cry. Big girls, they don't cry."


Everytime I hear that song I can't help but think about the beginning of the movie Dirty Dancing where they are riding in the car up to the resort for the summer and Baby is sitting in the backseat. Well one thing is for sure, I have got my big girl pants on and this "baby" has bought a house. Yes, it is official! I signed the papers on Friday for my very own patio home in a different part of town that will put me much closer to work-no more commuting!! I am so excited. I don't think you could wipe the silly grin off my silly face even if you tried. 

I went out this weekend furniture shopping, mainly for a dining room table but picked up some new pillows for my couch instead. I didn't quite find what I was looking for in the area of a dining room table. Could it be that maybe I am just being too picky? Maybe, but I believe that I have earned that right. So I will continue my quest for a quaint, cute pub table and chair set that fits my persnickety style and my little dining area. I just can't wait to get in there and start decorating something that ALL MINE!! Oh and I guess I need to start looking for a part time job in addition to my full time job so that I can continue to afford my lifestyle of shopping, mani-pedi's, shoes, makeup, and bags.  

My closing is May 16th which I am sure will get here in a flash and this baby bird has a lot to do before flying the coop. Yes, Daddy even though I am finally moving out for good this time and have on my big girl pants, I will always be your little girl!

CONGRATULATIONS!!! I hope you'll share pictures as you personalize YOUR VERY OWN HOME! That's so exciting! And I'm going to hope that you just get a nice raise from your current employer rather than needing a second job!

I just watched dirty dancing about a week ago, and I cried again. I cry every single time I see the end. Have fun setting up house, and congrats!
