Our Trick AND Treat- DD's Surprise Bday Trip! 11/4 Get Movin'

[jenb1023]

Oh you are trying to sell and buy? What a nightmare. I can't imagine the rollercoaster of that. We rent our house right now so we don't have anything to sell but of course now that we found a house we love...so do 2 other buyers

So glad to hear that you found a house you love! Crossing fingers that you get it! You will have to keep us posted on your progress! We are not actively looking - just started the process. I do not look forward to keeping my house perfect and having to get us and the dog out of the house for showings.

So did you survive the drive today okay?

I posted this on the Boutiquers thread but my Michaels had all of their Disney ribbon on clearance for $1.00 a spool (it is normally $3.99). Just a heads up in case any of you are interested.

Time for me to get off the pc and chill! DD is sleeping over at her grandparents so I have been working like crazy on getting stuff done here since I got home from work.

Thanks Jen! How nice to have a break from the grandparents. My mom is fabulous about that! She has a place in Maine for the summer so she takes Aisling for a couple of weekends and for the whole first week of August.

I did survive the drive. It was a little rough. I'm so anxious, I can't eat so the no food didn't help! Plus I drove all the way to the Cape and my client didn't show up for her visit with her son! Fabulous. We were meeting at a restaurant and since she didn't show...you know who got stuck with the bill. You know how much a 19 year old boy can eat So I drove all the way there, didn't show, and it cost me $30 for feed her son lunch!

Love the recital pictures!

Thank you!

I remember reading that you have issues with motion sickness so that really stinks that you had to drive all of that way for nothing! I can't believe the mom stood her son up!

You should go! We got 2nd row center orchestra with that code for $71. Fantastic seats!

Hi All!

I've been MIA again...I know!!!

House inspection went well on Friday. We have a very thorough inspector and ended up being there for almost 3 hours! We had some minor things that needed to be done so we sent our list over today and we are waiting to hear back if they are in agreement. We are due to sign the P&S by this Friday. Friday afternoon we had to run over to the mortgage office to drop off all that information.

This weekend we spent most of the weekend window shopping for new things. If you don't live in Mass...we have this massive furniture store that has a restaurants, a Jelly Belly store, a trapeze school, indoor fireworks, and an Imax theatre...oh and a Home Depot attached. So we spent most of yesterday there. We bribed Aisling with Night at the Museum on Imax! It worked well. Then we headed over to Home Depot to get paint samples for Aisling's new room.

The whole house has hardwood floors. Their sons' bedroom (which will be Aisling's) was recently was carpeted in light green carpet. Since it's in great shape, we are leaving it. So we need a color that goes with the green. Luckily she decided on light purple paint so that should look cute. Literally, this is the only room we have to paint.

We've been shopping for a new living room set and stuff for the bathroom. There is a pedestal sink in the upstairs bathroom so I need a cabinet and one of those over-the-toilet space saver shelving units. They don't give those things away!

So that's what's up with me. I also did some sewing last night and whipped up 2 simple dresses from my friend's daughter...they are leaving for Disney on Friday. i will post pics soon!!

Awesome news with the house!!

I don't visit Jordan's enough. Only when Harry Potter movies are released in iMax/3D

I think the purple and green will be so cute! So have you told her about the new house? How is she taking it?

How does one "whip up" dresses? Thats talent!

We had the preview for Harry this weekend. I need to see it in Imax. The preview scared the life out of Aisling because of the butt-kickers in the seats when Voldemart appeared.

She knows about the house because she's been there. Since we still haven't signed the P&S, we told her we "plan" to buy the house and will know for sure this week. After the inspection went well- we figured it was safe to tell her SOMETHING.

If you could see these dresses...you'd guess how you can whip them up! They are pretty basic. But my friend was thrilled with them so that's all that matters.

Basic for you. Many hours of frustration for the general public. I bow to your sewing abilities.

I am so glad the house inspection went well! Any idea on when you will sign the P&S yet? Still crossing fingers for you and sending pixie dust your way until everything is finalized.

You know - I knew we and the girls had a lot in common but this is getting a little crazy. Please see the photo below of Jordan's room.

Super crazy!!!!

This is the current bedroom. Do you think light purple will look good with that carpet???

Thanks but if you could have seen the inside seams you wouldn't have said that. One dress I had to tear apart so many times because I kept making stupid mistakes! Oh well...looked good from the outside.

I know, I know! Can you believe that I haven't even ordered my MNSSHP tickets yet? I don't like being consumed with other things


House has been going "FUN" shall we say! If you haven't been following the little drama on my FB updates, the inspection went well with a few relatively minor things to fix. The only big thing is the chimney needs to be re-pointed. P&S is supposed to be signed tomorrow and TODAY the sellers tell us that they don't have enough time to fix the chimney before closing so they want to just offer us $500 back at closing. Without an estimate!!! Uh, no. Sooo my awesome agent got a person out there as we speak to do an actual estimate So once we get an estimate, we can counter-offer (because you know this is costing more than $500) and hopefully we can all agree before tomorrow!

They assure me that the "fun" makes the house that much more appreciated
