I have just got home from the airport after spending three days in Helsinki for business (more on that later).
Champagne is chilling in the fridge.
The house in Ovaltine has been sold-contracts signed and money exchanged.
We are free-the house is no longer ours.
And you know what? We talked to the owner of our beloved Blackberries, the house of our dreams, the house we lost twice and I cried bitterly each time. We talked to her, and we talked to her...
...and it's ours again.
Tiny Tim can kiss my ass.

PS-note to self: go to Finland more often. Not only is the shopping utterly fantastic, but good things seem to happen when I do.

OH.MY.GOD. Helen, that is absolutely the best news I've had all season!!! I am SO happy for you... it's all coming together... I can't think of a person in this whole world who deserves it more. You WILL have a wonderful Christmas with all this wonderfulness (is that a word?) in your lilfe.
Can it get any better? Yes, we know the answer to that... it's gonna happen. In my heart, I know it. {{{{hugs}}}}} to you and Angus (and the kitties).

How funny, my uncle was in Helsinki yesterday, too. Saw him for lunch in NY and he was telling me about it.
I am beyond thrilled that the house sale/purchase has worked out. You so totally deserve it. Just wonderful news.
