Its so quiet lately!!

Re: Its so quiet lately!!

  • I disagree. But maybe because of the weekend and Monday? 

  • Well then I will take this opportunity to tell my funny/random story:

    I went to Target on Saturday to buy my preggo sister some maternity tops for a mother's day package I'm putting together for her.  I also picked up some condoms because I'm going off the pill and don't have the charting thing down yet.

    The cashier definitely thought I was crazy buying those two items together.

    That is so funny! When is your sis due? 

  • Really? It seems like a lot of the regular are MIA! I've been thinking that for a few weeks now but maybe it's because I'm around less since I've been working since February.  

    Haha Joanis! she must have thought "this girl doesn't know anything!" haha.

  • Joan you should have thrown a pregnancy test in there just to confuse her further!

    It has been quiet lately though.  I've mostly been shopping for my vacation, plus we're trying to spend less money in general.  We might be buying a house, it's a short sale so it's up to the bank to decide if they'll accept the price or not.  Apparently this could take months and months to even find out if they're going to take our offer.  So frustrating!

  • Joan - that's hilarous! Love it!

    Teeah - I'm the office manager at a real estate office and I can tell you that it all depends on the listing agent and whether they know what they're doing regarding short sales. It can take as little as two months, or it could draw out forever. We have one agent here working on one for like 2 years, so stay on top of them and if you need anything feel free to let me know.

    I agree that it's also been kind of slow. It's like everyone posts in the OOTD thread, but then that's pretty much it. I don't see nearly as many responses in the posts that are up either lately. Maybe everyone is just busy, who knows.

  • I'm starting my new job Thursday (Ahhh) so beside ootd I'll prob be a night poster besides lunch break. For the start. I dont know what will be tolerated. 

     

    My ootds will def become more business. It is a business casual office.  

  • I know i've been MIA and mainly just been lurking lately because I haven't been shopping nearly as much, I haven't been too thrilled with any of my outfits, and because I never really have time to take OOTD pics anymore because the whole dog walking thing in the morning always has me running late :-

    Thanks, I'll definitely let you know if I have any questions!  I'm pretty sure the listing agent is a turd (the sellers seem like a-holes too), he works in the same office as my agent and it takes him days upon days to get back to her with any information.  His website is geared towards short sales though.  We've actually been trying to buy this house since September of last year.  We were the 2nd back-up offer, then the primary back-up offer, then it was supposed to go to us but our offer expired and the sellers sent someone else's offer to the bank.  Last I heard that seller dropped out, we put in another offer, and the sellers were supposed to sign off on it last week.  Actually I need to check with my agent to see if it's gotten sent to the bank or not...

  • Hi! I noticed the board has been quiet too, though I'm certainly not doing anything to help that. I can't wait to not be pregnant and be able to shop for "normal" clothes again!! All I want is a freaking pair of colored denim, and I will not buy maternity stuff at this point.

    Oh, and we REALLY REALLY need more lighting in our bedroom so I can take remotely decent OOTD pics. I have this enormous mirror now, but it's like a cave in there. 

  • I have been shopping less because I am hoarding money for my big divorce and move out. I am looking at an apartment on Monday that I hope will be "the one" because (A) the price is SO NICE, (B) the dog can live there with me, and (C) I hate apartment shopping. My goal is to move out of our house in June sometime, hopefully by the 15th. If this apartment works for me, my lease will start June 1, but I will do a slow move-in over the course of a couple of weeks.

  • Joan that's priceless! Once I had to go to the store just for trash bags, toilet paper, and antacids.. the cashier looked at me like, "Umm.. ok.." No one in my house was sick, but it sure looked like a nasty situation.

    Good luck Teeah on the house, and keep us posted!

    Ditto Blonde.. I haven't been posting as much because it's been a while since I shopped and I don't want to post the same outfits over and over again. I don't mind posting repeats once in a while, but not all the time. I'm hoping to go on some sort of a shopping spree before our anniversary trip so I'm excited for that. Other than that, we've been trying to save more and use more of our excess money for working on the house instead of shopping.

    September!!  We're so excited- it's the first grandchild for the family and she just found out she's having a girl.  I immediately started shopping, haha.
