We’re slowly starting to get settled in our new house. Just about everything is out of the townhouse except for our old computer, computer desk & computer chair. The carpet is being cleaned tomorrow afternoon with a Ladybug Steam Cleaner to make sure all the allergens from the cats are gone, and we turn in [...]
We’re moved!
Today was the big move. We started at about 10am, which coincided with three consecutive showings by our landlord. Lovely, huh? We’re in the middle of trying to lug out heavy furniture and she and her boyfriend are leading people through the house. She knew that we would be moving out this morning, yet she [...]
Yes, Qwest, you’ve pissed me off
We’ve been using Qwest internet and phone for the past five years. In general, we’ve been very happy with them.

I’m still drawing a blank, though. I could tell you that tomorrow is an exciting day since not only do [...]
We’re homeowners! And I’m exhausted!
When this post publishes, I’ll be in the middle of painting or taping or scrubbing or cursing someone out because even though I faxed the request over Thursday the water wasn’t turned on. (I am hoping it is turned on, we won’t know until we arrive tomorrow morning). The closing went sorta ok. We were [...]
Down to the Wire
A week from today
We will be homeowners! We close next Friday afternoon. I’ve been busting my butt working on getting things organized and packed around here, while still trying to keep the house in good enough shape for the landlord to show it to potential renters. Not exactly a fun situation to be in. We’ll close on Friday, [...]
