Wanted:

a new car

a new apartment or a house!

a break and a white horse

My car has been under "inspection" since last Thursday, have been unable to teach, and am still without it (can we say cabin fever?) facing a very big bill.

Our gas and electric bill isn't going down since I've started sending in the readings. Grrr. I was keeping the heat at 62 until the other week I turned it up to 64 (is that unreasonable for upstate NY?) because I just needed a bit more and our basement apartment tends to smell when colder and damp...go figure. Ahh mold!

Ok, I'll settle for a break from all this. Remember those Calgon commercials? Calgon, Take me away!! (That was a common phrase for me when working at the daycare.) Matthew, come take me away!! Umm, in what car?...I don't know, one with 3 wheels? Nah, we're going to ride off into the sunset on a white horse!

Good news: we are down to about 99 days (always a guesstimate...aka Becky countdown) till Matt is back in California...and I'm there too!! Breaking that 100 mark is good news! Also, that means, we are just about half way done with this year! It has almost been 6 months since my Man left home. It's a funny thing to be happy your husband has been gone for a long time...because that means he's coming home!

*I've got my riding boots on Cowboy! I was born ready!



...just because it's a favorite of yours

Hi Becky, I am sorry I have not been on my blog in a long time. My husband just returned and we are adjusting...so, it's taking me a little bit to get back into blogging. Please feel free to email me at the_yosts@hotmail.com I will be praying for you Becky. Hang in there...I know some days seem just endless...lifting up prayers for those days especially. Looking forward to hearing from you! In His Care~heather
