thoughts become things, et. al.

say hello to our new house! the lot is over 1/4 acre - i think the backyard picture says it all. (things are bigger in texas...even marilyn monroe!) we are scheduled to close on it after thanksgiving.

on a totally unrelated note, here's a poem i came across while reading think and grow rich by napoleon hill:

if you think you are beaten, you are,
if you think you dare not, you don't
if you like to win, but you think you can't,
it is almost certain you won't.

if you think you'll lose, you're lost
for out of the world we find,
success begins with a fellow's will -
it's all in the state of mind.

if you think you're outclassed, you are,
you've got to think high to rise,
you've got to be sure of yourself before
you can ever win a prize.

life's battles don't always go
to the stronger or faster man,
but soon or late the man who wins
is the man who thinks he can!

What?! Since when? Did I miss a memo?
Anyway - the house is gorgeous!

Congratulations on the house. Nice backyard. Did Marilyn come with?

I haven't seen her yet. But then again, they had a photo of Brad Pitt playing pool in the gameroom, and he wasn't up there either. :P

I have no idea about the sidebar. Congrats on the house! And if you find Brad Pitt, let me know...he should be surrounded by a gaggle of multicultural children.

Thanks, Kirby - you just added the link for me! It is a great book!
