And the signs said: "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls and tenement halls. And whisper'd in the sound of silence."

It looks like the closing date on the house will be changed to sometime next week, either Monday or Friday.

I told my husband all about the fun Mother and I had on Saturday. He found it fit to call her and leave a message on her machine since she opted not to answer the phone. He told her just where exactly she can put her furniture. He also told her that she owed me an apology for not being supportive or encouraging with our decision with our buying that house and that I was a damn fine cook. (He is so great!) She had said that I didn't know how to feed my husband. As you can tell my visit with her on Saturday was not so much fun. She is yet to call with her amends and I do not honestly expect that from her either. There have been many times that Mother and I have not gotten along at all, but things had been going so well for such a long time.

It's really amazing that co-workers, friends, family members, readers of this blog (Thanks Renae!), and complete strangers can give their congratulations, but my own Mother is a different story. I don't get it.

On a different note, I have discovered something that has cheered me up. Renae sometimes references to The Onion, America's Finest News Source. I really never have gave much mind to it but today, while updating ITunes, I found some of Onion Radio News podcasts for my listening pleasure. Remembering her Onion discussions, I checked it out. There are some great little snippets there that kind of remind me of Samuel Bronkowitz movies and the best part is that you really do not need to download ITunes to listen to them. Anyway, git U sum of dat! I highly recommend it.
