Comic Relief

Every two weeks my Grandma in California sends us these free newsletters called Brain Ticklers. They always have interesting trivia and some jokes. Here's some comic relief to balance all the home-buying drama we're experiencing lately:

Did You Hear About Houdini?

For a while, Houdini used a lot of trap doors in his act, but he was just going through a stage.

I See

A psychiatrist's receptionist alerted the doctor: "A man is out here who says he's invisible."

"Well, tell him I can't see him right now," said the doctor.

The Costume

This guy goes to a costume party with a girl on his back. "What are you supposed to be?" asks the host.

"I'm a snail," says the guy.

"But you have a girl on your back," replies the host.

"Yeah," he says, "that's Michelle."

Teepee & Wigwam

A guy goes to a psychiatrist. "Doc, I keep having these alternating recurring dreams. First I'm a teepee; then I'm a wigwam; then I'm a teepee; then I'm a wigwam again. It's driving me crazy! What's wrong with me?"

The doctor replies, "It's very simple. You're two tents."

Hope you liked the little jokes. Still lots of tension and "are we going to make it in time" anxiety around here. Stephen got in all of our documents, but then found out that our home loan specialist is still waiting on the employment verification form. Ugh! Wish she'd told us that sooner. Stephen called the HR person at work, and she said it was a 24 hour turn-around time for that form. We also haven't heard the status on the form the seller in PA is supposed to sign. Is it done? Who knows, not us. Our realtor should call us this morning with more information. There's still a slim chance things are on for this Friday. If not, our realtor said the closing may be pushed back "a day or two." That's not bad, not bad at all. We can certainly live with that.

Have a great Wednesday, and we'll keep the updates coming. Thank you for praying for us!
