A is for application.

Building, loan, FEMA, etc.

B is for bids, which come in today. The anticipation is like Christmas. The dollar amounts are like my own equivalent of the budget deficit.

C is for cabinets. Which I ordered yesterday. And paid for in ADVANCE, which is a huge construction no no. They were 1/5 the cost of the bid from my kitchen designer. I love my online shopping guru husband.

D is for despair. Which is a regular companion to the home building process.

E is for euphoria. Ditto above.

F is framing. Ours is apparently particularly complicated. Like me.

G is for good weather. Which we have had for 2 days running. It makes everything in life better!

H is for home sweet home. Which will be 3 bedrooms and a bathroom for the next few months if everything goes according to plan. Like camping inside. Which is my favorite kind of camping.

I is for income property. Which we do not have. Ours is an outgo property.

J is for justification. Which is sometimes useful in budgeting for fixtures and finishes.

K is for kidding around. Which is a useful way to pass the time while waiting for bids to come in.

L is for looking. For bargains. On everything we need to build a house.

M is for money. We keep spending it. And, we haven't really started yet.

N is for now. Which is when I would like my new house to be done.

O is for organization. I'll get right on that.

P is for piles. Of information important to the building process.

Q is for quickly. Which is how I need to get get things done once I finally realize they need to be done.

R is for running. In circles most of the time.

S is for sinks. I like really special sinks. See justification.

T is for today. Which is a sunny, warm day. Hooray!

U is for unless. The word that comes before a long list of undesirable possibilities.

V is for vacation. Which we just had, but seems like a long time ago.

W is for work. Which I need to do more of.

X is for x-ray. And xylophone. Which are not really applicable to this conversation.

Y is for yay! Which is what I say every time we move forward on our project.

Z is for zippadeedoodah! which is what I will sing the day they start excavation.

You get the idea. I think we are really, really close to starting construction. Keep your fingers crossed!
