WBRepo-Ship of Thieves-Remember the Magic Pt3

[HollyTyler]

Ugghh......I don't think I can handle playing any more Monopoly today.

Glad Jackie and Cheri were not seriously hurt.

Escrow has been very stressful. We just submitted the 7th addendum (none of the first 6 were accepted by both parties) after we told our realtor to just submit a termination and that we would petition to keep his $20,000 earnest money. The original contract says it will close next Monday and we have done everything we have needed to do to make that happen. Since no addendums have been acceptable, the original contract is all we have. I think that got his attention and maybe he will be reasonable and get this closed. We will see what he does today, then we will know if we retire July 31 or if we work a bit longer. We know he really wants the property (and is getting it at a very good price!) since he has put well over $1000 into inspections, soil reports and plans for a remodel and put up the $20,000 in earnest money.

The really bad thing about all this is that it has cut into my DIS time!

Angie:

Sorry to hear this. Stay strong and if it's meant it will be.

I feel some forebodding here for me. I got the call from our realtor with a counter. It still is sucky. But I really just want the house out of my frame of reference so I've offered another counter. My agent tells me that the buyers agent is ignorant about the spetic and that she calls him every hour. Not a good sign. I suspect after they inspect they will come back asking for more money off to which I will say "GO JUMP IN THE LAKE" hahahahaha that was funny, the house is on a lake and that felt good to say...

If we get in contract we will make a trip up there and perhaps spread dad's ashes on the lake. I haven't been ready yet for this, but now it's here and we can do it feel ok. I guess this is why our August is not planned past the kids being in camp for that first week.

I haven't talked to my mom about the offers yet, just don't want to get into it with her, since I know it will trigger phone call after phone call with the same questions over and over again.

ok, gotta get some work done today, sorry to ramble & thanks for listening.

Nan, I hope it all works out the right way for you.

What a great idea!

That's more than fine too....it IS an All inclusive resort (all food & drinks included )

Well, I have an extra night of freedom this weekend. Tyler's dad just e-mailed me asking if Tyler could stay over Saturday night too. He says Tyler told him last night that he feels they don't get enough time together. Sure, whatever. Doesn't sound like something a kid that little would come up with, but I told him, "Yes, Tyler often tells me the same, that he and I don't get enough time together, so I completely understand." (No, Tyler didn't say that to me, but I couldn't resist getting a little jab in there). But....maybe if he would show up for school functions, and take him to karate class, and do other things with him other than go fishing and leave Tyler at home, maybe they would have more time together. Instead of Tyler having some Saturdays for "quality time" with stepmom, that should be time spent with dad. They're so clueless.

Holly, our kids who see us ALL THE TIME say this to us. So don't be suprised he might really be saying that to his dad. Kids are weird...

enjoy the night off

and congrats on the headache free zone

So Ian, how are the wedding plans going? Or should I be asking Nan?

Actually I think Kelly and I need to have a conference.

Kelly, let's talk after Molly's bday, (wednesday) only one party plan in my immediate head this week. still trying to come up with birthday favors for the cast of 35 kids. I'm going to look for those little musical instruments filled with small round candy beads. if anyone sees them let me know!!!

 

[nskjerven]

Nan, I hope it all works out the right way for you.

thanks Holly

the hard part if the airfare I would suspect...but it might be fun to have a plan out there in the wind for me. I'll email you.

Thanks for the input! I guess I didn't realize kids actually like to be around their parents. LOL! Especially the mean ones like me!

My night off will hopefully be put to good use. I told my co-workers to ask me on Monday if I cleaned my house AND mowed (front AND back) and if I say no to either, they can SLAP ME! There's no reason why I can't force myself to get this done with my extra time.

And today makes a FULL WEEK migraine free! I can't remember the last time that happened, so I'm sticking with my new drug a long, long time!

Hey, everyone! We are going on a Disney Wonder Cruise on Sunday! Double dip to Castaway Cay! Only Chuck, Patrick and myself. Mike is going to a law preview in Miami. First time in the Inside Disabled Accessible stateroom on Deck 6. I'll take photo's of it. I think it will be interesting....we've never done an inside room on Disney yet. I will bring a nightlight. I just hope that Patrick doesn't want to sleep all afternoon.....that might be a tad boring.....I am plannig to try to get him to nap on deck in a deck chair with lots of towels to get him in a good position....and maybe a blanket to keep him snuggly. I hope this works, at least I can watch the movie on the BIG screen!

Hello everyone. I'm dumb. I was over at the other thread wondering why I couldn't quote anything The really bad thing is that I told myself when I got on that there might be a new thread

Cheri, I'm sorry to hear about your accident. You made the local papers! Beaumont is really close to me. We have a lot of friends that live there. I hope you and Dylan aren't too shook up.

Holly, we are going to Laughlin for the river. So we'll be sitting in the water drinking sangria and burning! It is going to be 114 degrees.

There was other stuff to quote too but I can't remember. I was too busy trying to figure out why I couldn't quote anyone

Gaylean, I did the same thing last night. I even re-started my laptop trying to get it to work! I felt stupid!

Cheri, I am so glad you and your nephew are okay! Oh my, what a fright.I will be interested if your car is totalled.

 

[HollyTyler]

Well, it's quitting time FINALLY!!!!

Gonna try to force myself to go give Dream Dinners a try during this walk-in special they're having. I hate doing kitchen stuff, so I'm not sure I'll actually go through with it. Then, home to mow tonight because it's supposed to be storming most of Saturday and Sunday. Then I might start cleaning tonight to get a head start, we'll have to see how long my motivation lasts.

Later folks!

 

[disneylover5]

Hey!!! That was my 4000th post. I'm catching up with Holly ;-)

 

[ibouncetoo]

Plan to see Mamma Mia tomorrow - I could make a show tonight, but not sure if I'd stay awake through it.

May see The Dark Knight this weekend too....or maybe hold off till

Wednesday (my day off for the week).

No way could you sleep through Momma Mia......we went and saw it at lunch today (amazing what a nice e-mail to your GSM will do on a quiet Friday). It was LOTS of fun!


....back to catch up.

Our Dream Dinners location here is having a "sidewalk sale" special today through Sunday. "Make a Dinner for 2 for only $10 or a dinner for 4 for $20". There are a bunch of dinner choices to pick from, and it includes garlic bread and a veggie and a dessert. YUMMY! I've been wanting to try this since a bunch of you talked about it and a similar chain last year, but didn't want to spend all that money in case I didn't like it. None of the options are anything Tyler would eat, so it would all be for me. This dinner for 2 is the perfect way for me to try it out.....and cheap! So I think I'm going Friday after work and I think I'll choose Hawaiian chicken or maple glazed pork chops. Yummmmmmmy!

I wonder if they will let you package it in two containers so you have two dinners for one

So Ian, how are the wedding plans going? Or should I be asking Nan?

I really know almost nothing about the wedding except the actual ceremony and what Sukie and I are wearing. Nan and Kelly have told me nothing. I've been told that we just need to show up when and were we're told.
