Good afternoon ladies...
Took a while to read and catch up on the posts on the other thread! You ladies have been busy, busy, busy posting away.
Had a nice day yesterday with V. Looked at a lot of open houses! Very nice models! But...they were small. The biggest majority of them were 2 bedroom homes which seems odd. There were only 2 that we saw that had 3 bedrooms but with the same sq. footage. Anyway...didn't really get any ideas for anything but it was nice to look. We know where to go if we lose the new house.
Then came home and did some yard work. Not much to do except mow. Thankful for the recent rains we had because I don't have to water and the yard is soooooo green!
MARTI...hope you are feeling better today.
SUSAN...hoping Rachel makes it through the whole day of school.
Pizza and candy bars huh? Sounds good to me!
What kind of pizza and candy bars? Seems there was some talk of cheesecake and cheetos too! I was craving cheese puffs last week for some reason, never did get any though.
ELLEN...I get what you are saying. And no, it wouldn't be terrible if we didn't sell. I told V yesterday that I will miss this house a little when we move. When we bought, our plan was to stay here 10 years and then find something in the country. But we are leery about what will be built behind us. I do know though that the city is picky about what will go in anywhere. But at the same time...they built a motel behind some twin homes around the corner from us. Well, if you go through the houses it's about a mile away. But from the back of our house it's in the path of where they will be building more and if they tear the trees down that are over there then we would be able to see the motel which is behind the Goodwill store and a car dealership. That doesn't bother me because it's down the road but I am leery about what they will build, it's just a matter of time. And there was talk of a YMCA. but who knows...we just don't want to be here to find out.
KATY...your new addition may be a mess right now but just think of the pride you will have once it's done. It will be more special because DH did a lot of the work himself. That's what V plans on doing when/if we move to the new house to the basement. He'll do all the trim, electrical, drywall, carpet etc. but plans on hiring someone to do the taping and such. There is no specified date for the contingency. Figuring it coincides with the ending of the contract on the sale of our house which is June 4. Anyway, we didn't plan on having any showing this past weekend but had a call early Sunday morning for a showing at 2:30-3:30. So went ahead with it. Hoping to have an Open House next Sunday.
GINNY... glad you had a nice day of shopping.
JULES...glad DS had a nice 21st BD. Hoping DD gets a different job.
CONNIE...sending some goodvibes that the doc finds out what's wrong with your back and can do something for ya.

ANGIE...(((((HUS))))) sorry don't have any advice for ya.
The boys get that way sometimes (messy-but it's mostly in their room and I just close the door) and I just tell them "You are more than welcome to move out anytime and pay your own bills." That usually straightens them up. But I've never had them call me a b*! And why do kids think because you are home that you have to clean up after them? Maybe it would be best if he moved out. I think that right there would be a big wake up call for him. Kids just don't appreciate what they've got until it's gone.
Hi SUE, JANE, MARYKATE, KATHY, and everyone else!
Oh Ellen, I don't have Pam's e-mail address. She hasn't posted here in ages! I was sending cards to her but not sure if I still have her snail mail address. Anyway...nothing much going on today. Getting some laundry done and just straightening the house. Going to get a couple of walks in as soon as I get off this thing-going to do 2-20 minute walks. And trying to get my water down today. Aiming for 3 bottles but since I haven't had any in a while will be happy if I get 2.I forgot to weigh in this morning until I got out of the shower. I did weigh with wet hair but know that's not correct so will WI tomorrow morning. Besides going to the TOPS meeting (was cancelled the last time I planned on going) tomorrow and if I join Tuesday will be my new WI day anyway. Anyway, trying to get back on track with my walking since the weather is getting nice. Need to get back to the park for sure! But for now, think I will go play around with my siggy and avatar!
Have a great day ladies!
