When one really needs to just FALL ON THE FLOOR..

This is my gal pals lovely website..Julia, or Jules as I call her...She is a house lover, extraordinaire...

She does all things houses, and I mean all things. Hollywood starlets, bad MLS photos, gorgeous one of a kind mansions, you name it, if its about houses, shes done it. Shes big...like ultra..amazing. People come to HER for a house fix..

Imagine my surprise, last week when SHE emailed Lil old ME..yes, people..ME.

"Hi Lisa, I just wanted to tell you I would LOVE to do a feature on your little Coastal Nest Cottage..send me some great before and after photos.."

After, I went to the freezer to fetch an ice pack for my head..you know, because I fell off my chair and hit my noggin on our paper shredder..I went into this crying fit that wouldn't stop. If you know me, you know that I have a bit of a struggle with all things..well, overwhelming.. I guess its probably pre-menopause..I had a big birthday recently that's been bothering the hell out of meUmmm, yes 45, and then these 3 little things..

People say BAD things come in 3s, well, its been good things for me.I am overwhelmed with joy and happiness!!

First it was the one I bow to everyday.. my very favorite writer in the whole world and the one who inspires me to be a great writer..haven't achieved her level yet, but she is hysterical and I can now say we are

just the best of buddies, and I no longer feel like a freaky stalker..Another lovely Pacific Northwest gal,  I love you Mrs G! You make me laugh out loud most everyday!!

Karla and Kelley came out and spent a girls weekend at the beach house..then went home and raved about it..here

Miss Julia..

I'm not sure if the Coastal Nest gal can take much more! all of this great press is making my head spin, or maybe its from the concussion..Naaa

ALL the best....
