    Good afternoon, Nesties. Coming to you live from my couch thanks to Mother Nature ;) We got dumped on majorly... I think 8-9" plus it rained ALL day yesterday. Temp dropped and then the rain all froze. Nasty mess around here! The H tried to go to work last night b/c there were computer issues and he ended up turning around and then got stuck in the road, then stuck in our driveway. My dad didn't end up going to work last night, either. He got stuck in his road. It's so weird how the storm worked this time.

    That is crazy!  I couldn't believe the radar when I looked at it last night.  It was covering about 75% of the state (but not me, yay.)

    Glad you got your snow day.

    The only time I like snow is when I don't have to drive in it.  :)

    I think I just found a solution to a current (large) problem we've been dealing with at work. 

    Yay.

  • GRSP:  I am so sorry about your friend.  I think lending a sympathetic shoulder and ear would be the best thing for your friend. 

    D&M: That is messed up about the water.  I would be quite upset about that.  They make you use their water, and it is contaminated?!

  • Molly, wow, that is terrible about your water!  I would be very upset.  Go to a city council meeting and give them hell. 

    (I have no idea if the city council is actually in charge of that sort of thing.)

    Yeah, I think we are going to try to do something about this, just not sure what yet.

    Nice job!!

  • Yay for problem solving.  Angry to the water situation. 

    GoodGollie, it's not CF, but thanks for sharing that (just in case).  And good luck tomorrow.  I hope everything goes well.  No matter which way that everything goes.

    lol.  We have a tentative start date of March 2012.  But that may be getting pushed back.

    Really?!  I thought you were kind of considering the 1 and done route.

  • I've been trying to figure out how I'm going to place our Christmas tree in our Living Room. DH vetoed the idea of putting it in the Dinning Room. The corner I normally would put it in currently has a chair there and I'm not sure where to put the chair as I don't have another space for it. This is going to take some inventive maneuvering.

    "DH, do you want the chair or the tree in the dinning room?"

    We don't have a lot of shuffle space here either.

    That's still a possibility too.  Like I said, tentative, may be getting pushed back.  We both want two, but would be very happy with our one.  It took a while last time, and I think if it takes too long this time we'll probably give up rather than mess around too much with medical testing, etc.

  • We came home from errands to find a giant bow on our for sale sign post.  Weird.  Do realtors DO that?  I can't imagine that it was a neighbor.  It's a nice bow, but I'm not sure I want it in our yard.

    That is really strange.

     

    How is that going, by the way?  I think about it a lot, but I know it's been stressful so I try not to bring it up.

  • We haven't heard anything from our realtor since she texted me after our October open house.  So, basically, it's life as usual, but we have a sign in the yard.  Our contract expires in 3 weeks so we can have the holidays off. 

    Jim and I agreed that, while we know she can't work miracles, for the commission that she'd eventually get, she could call or email us every other week or so.  We both feel like she's given up on the house.  So, we'll be interviewing new realtors in mid-January.

    I hope that you enjoy your holiday break and that you find a wonderful realtor in January.

    Personally, I feel like good realtors are hard to find.  Was NOT impressed with the realtor we worked with the find the house we live in now.

    But I LOVED the realtor we used to find our last rental.  He will be our realtor for every future purchase.  He does it on the side as a hobby because he likes it, and it shows.
