Five Years

105_0321

Five years ago this morning, I put the last few things I hadn’t packed into my Scion tC and pulled away from my condo in Concord, CA at 3:30 am. One speeding ticket and one warning later I arrived in Denver at Scott’s house at 10:30 pm. I left behind my best friends in the [...]

Qwest continues to be made of fail

Monday morning I called Qwest to again complain about the whole modem issue. I had an e-mail confirmation stating that the modem would be here on Friday, and of course it wasn’t. I talked to someone who I felt was somewhat condescending about the fact that I was really pissed about their oversight, but in [...]

Getting settled

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. We’ve never had any phone issues, and we’ve had a couple of internet outages that were brief. I’m very much anti-Comcast because of past experiences with them, so switching to them is NOT an option. [...]

Just a quick post

My posts may be sporadic for the next week and a half or so. We’re moving on Saturday and we’ll be pretty busy all week long (and into next week). I am going to get my review posts up that sponsors are waiting on, and will do my best to entertain you otherwise. But don’t [...]

New Home Follies

Want to hear about my afternoon? After work, I stopped at the house to drop off a car load of boxes and to fix the smoke detectors (two of them are chirping) and replace the door locks. I successfully unpacked two boxes. Score one for me! Then I went upstairs and touched up a little [...]

Ever just draw a blank?

I’ve been trying to think of something interesting to blog about because weight loss and our new house is kind of getting overdone here. But hey, I’m EXCITED about losing weight and our new house! 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

We’re down to the wire. We close on our house at 1pm tomorrow. We couldn’t be more excited! We have all the paint purchased, I faxed the water department to have our water turned on, and we’re ready to spend the day Saturday painting like crazy. Did I mention that Denver is going to be [...]
