A final note about the Power of the Pants

OK gals....so I am preparing to mail the Pants to Liz, but figured that I should wash them first. Well, we all know that they can't go in the dryer or Court would be wearing shorts, so I have them hanging to dry & am hoping that they dry fast because time is ticking & Liz needs to experience the magic. And wouldn't you know it? We got an offer on our house. I should have the contract this afternoon & we might actually be on our way. Of course you know how many things have to fall into place in order for it to all go smoothly, but I am confident that this will work out. So, I think I have the Pants to thank-that extra day in my house really paid off I think. Coincidence? I think not! I guess my procrastination with washing the Pants immediately paid off-or perhaps my selfishness for not wanting to give the pants up too quickly paid off-hee hee. At any rate, please wish us luck on this adventure and pray that it doesn't fall through. I think I might have to be out of this house in 30 days-now a new set of anxiety awaits me. Of course, all for a good cause.

I just read an email this morning that my cousin sent me & thought I'd post it here because it is a nice tribute to women:

Time passes
Life happens.
Distance separates.
Children grow up.
Jobs come and go.
Love waxes and wanes.
Men don't do what they're supposed to do .
Parents die.
Colleagues forget favors.
Careers end.
BUT.........
Sisters are there, no matter how much time and how
many miles are between you. A girl friend is never
farther away than needing her can reach.

When you have to walk that lonesome valley and you
have to walk it by yourself, the women in your life
will be on the valley's rim, cheering you on,
praying for you, pulling for you, intervening on
your behalf, and waiting with open arms at the
valley's end.

Sometimes, they will even break the rules and walk
beside you...Or come in and carry you out.

Girlfriends, daughters, granddaughters,
daughters-in-law, sisters, sisters-in-law, Mothers,
Grandmothers, aunties, nieces, cousins, and extended
family, all bless our life!

The world wouldn't be the same without women, and
neither would I. When we began this adventure called
womanhood, we had no idea of the incredible joys or
sorrows that lay ahead. Nor did we know how much we
would need each other.

Every day, we need each other still

I love that Missy! I agree that women are very important. I loved the Sex and the City episode when Carrie figures out that she has 3 soul mates and the men will come and go. I believe that truly is the case - you can always count on the women in your life. Thanks for the reminder and good luck with the house selling.
