Well, I was out GROCERY shopping this morning, and I've never seen that store so quiet!!Retail??....NOPE! Won't touch it. I order most of my gifts on-line anway. I love having stuff delivered right to my door!

Besides, if this potential offer on our house goes through, it's gonna be a CRAZY Christmas season for us this year anyway!!!!!!Never thought I'd say it but I really hope it doesn't happen. And I have to wait until Monday to find out....

Well, yes and no (and no, you didn't miss anything...that post there was my first mention of it!). A contract has been written up, but it is there in the event that the buyer's first offer on another place is rejected. That one is pretty complicated by itself, but since the buyers live out-of-state, they also prepared an offer for us "just in case." We won't know until at least Monday, is my guess. BUT, if we do get the offer and it's an acceptable amount, we have to FLY! They want an end-of-December close, which I absolutely cannot do (6 weeks would be the end of the 1st week of January, and I believe 6 weeks is a pretty standard time frame for contract-to-close - I've got three kids and we're coming into Christmas season!!). ANYWAY!...I'm really torn on this one because yes, we want to sell the house and be able to move on, but WE LIVE IN NH AND NOBODY UP HERE WANTS TO MOVE IN JANUARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I honestly didn't think people would still be looking this close to the holidays, so I figured even if an offer came later in January, at least then we're approaching spring by the time we close and have to move.
We put up our tree today! Not decorated, but it's up. For the first time in our married lives we're using an artificial tree. It's actually the one my DH grew up with !! We got it a few years ago when his mom upgraded to one of those "looks-real" fake ones. This one is cool, though, because you can hang a boatload of stuff on it! Cool.
