Dream Home

Haiku Friday

Ten homes weren’t “the one.”
Too colorful or too cracked
Where was Suzanne Whang?

Cue the music, folks
After the duds, we found “it”
Beautiful dream home

We close in three weeks!
I’m beside myself with joy!
Bring on the shopping!

**Sorry if you got this in your reader twice today, I had to delete the first one because it got all hoinked up and looked all screwy after I edited it. 

To play along for Haiku Friday, follow these steps:

1. Write your own haiku on your blog. You can do one or many, all following a theme or just random. What’s a haiku, you ask? Click here.

2. Sign the Mister Linky below with your name and the link to your haiku post (the specific post URL, not your generic blog URL). We will delete your link if it doesn’t go to a haiku. If you need help with this, contact Christina or myself.

3. Pick up a Haiku Friday button to display on the post or in your sidebar by clicking the button above.

    YAY for the Binky Bitchins! I love it. And, a 3 car garage is a great idea with all the kid crap you’ll be accumulating.

    Where’s Mr. Linky? He’s MIA.

    Just caught up on your adventures of the week. Too bad you didn’t have those pictures..that would have been classic. And I’m glad your laundry issues have been resolved.

    But now, I’m going to cry because you have an amazing kitchen with pretty appliances which probably actually work. But I’m not bitter.
