When I finish this post, I am going to sit on my porch and smoke a cigarette -
1) I'm closing on my house tomorrow
2) My debit card was stolen on Friday. In a matter of two days, $600 was spent on groceries and about $2000 on gas. The bank has been great but we are working through the details.
3) I'm tired
4) I have a meeting with my boss on Friday. I don't know what it is about and I have a feeling that not all of it is good.
5) Did I mention that I'm closing on a house tomorrow at 4pm?????
In 5 days, I will become a home owner. I can't really believe that I am actually here but I am. The stress of buying a house is high but I will be happy once I have signed all the papers and I move in.
I will need to post pictures of it soon - it was built in 1938 and is a Carriage style home. It is filled with the original hardwood floors (this is my favorite part) and the main reason why I fell in love with it. It is 3 bedrooms / 2 bathroom with a renovated kitchen and a deck in the back yard. There is a detached two car garage in the back, which will be a great place for storage.
I am starting to go through my apartment and purge, purge, purge. For those who know me well, you know that I love this. I have always been good with throwing out things (maybe a little too much!)....and now I just need to start packing. My May/June had/have me on the road almost every day, so it is going to be a project to move into the house, paint before I move in and figure out how to everything out of my three story apartment.
One thing that I found out - my car insurance is going up $15 a month because of where my house will be. Sigh....living in Memphis is not the safest place for cars...
I have not been blogging much lately. Most of it is because I don't think that ANYONE reads this. If you do, I am surprised.
I have been non-blogging lately. Most of it has been because I have been so busy lately.
Here is a crash course of what has been going on:
1) Travel has been non-stop with work. I had one work day in Memphis in May - the rest was on the road.
2) I took vacation for the first time in two years. I went to Singer Island, FL, and had a blast. I later met up with S and spent some time with her, as we are waiting for baby to arrive.
3) I am buying a house. This has consumed any energy that I had left over from work. It has been so exhausing but it will be worth every stress.
4) EB had her baby.
5) S is pregant and due any day. (I will be the honorary aunt.)
6) EP and ES is pregnant, too.
7) SP is pregnant, too.
8) I just found out that KB is pregnant - yeah! (by the way, no one else can be pregant!)
9) C is getting married and I'm in her wedding in a few weeks. (one of 10 bridesmaids)
10) B is moving away and I spent a few days with her in Chattanooga before she leaves for DC
11) Good friend of mine, Matt Baugh, passed away a few weeks ago. My whole family came down for the funeral in MS.
12) My brother is in Afghanistan
13) My other brother is turning 18 and graduation high school next weekend. I feel old.
That is it. I really can't take anything else going on or I feel like my brain will stop thinking........
