I am so glad it's Friday and am jealous of everyone who is off today!
I went to dinner with a friend last night and had pulled pork nachos and a few beers. It was so fun! When we finished at dinner last night it was pouring rain! I love rain and was excited, until it turned to snow. The roads are going to be a mess until it melts today. Glad I work from home now and didn't have to drive anywhere. My brother, SIL and nephews are coming for Easter today, so hopefully by the time they leave, the roads are good for them.
What's on the agenda for tonight? - dinner out with a friend
What will be your drink of choice? - probably just Diet Coke and water. No fun here!
Are you off tomorrow for Good Friday? - no, I am working, but our manager said we can probably leave early. I am working a lot to get all my work done so this will happen!
I am so exhausted today. We were really busy with house stuff, and still need to finish up tonight. They are coming to take pictures of our house tomorrow morning so we can finally get it listed!
Friday I also went to a going away party for a friend and then Saturday my friends came over for dinner. It was good, but I could use another day off to relax.
My grandma had an old grandfather clocked that hadn't worked in years. When she died last year, the whole family was sitting in her living room the night before the funeral. All of a sudden, the clock started dinging. My mom has it now, and it hasn't done that since.
I am leaving early and MH and I are going for lunch with our contractor and his wife, then I have a work thing for drinks. Tonight MH and I are having a House of Cards marathon.
Tomorrow we are painting, running house errands and hopefully relaxing at some point. We will be listing our house probably about 3 weeks later than planned, but it could be good because a house down the street from ours just went for sale. It's $5k less than what we are listing for, but looks no where near as nice. I hope that helps us!
Sunday my mom is coming over and we will be doing the flooring and tiling in our bathroom.
Best thing about the month of March? We are listing our house for sale! Other than that - spring
Have you ever totaled (or completely wrecked) a vehicle? A couple. My parents always say I learned to drive by feel.
When you were a kid, did you ever have a pen-pal? I had a couple
Do you know which animal represents your birth year from the Chinese Zodiac (without googling)? I think a monkey?
Do you ever print out hard copies of photos anymore, or just keep it all digital? Mostly digital, but I am sending some to be printed this week.
Any random thought, general vent, or current mood for today: I have 23 minutes of work left and nothing to do, so I am planning vacations I can't take this year.
sapphire bou - congrats on paying off your car! It feels so good!
What's been going on this week? Not much except working and making house selections. Lights were yesterday, countertops tomorrow.
Any thirsty plans for tonight? Not tonight.
What's on the agenda for this weekend? Major cleaning/de-junking/house prep then Sunday we are going to a pub for Super Bowl with friends!
What's your current mood? Grouchy at co-workers for only doing part of their job, but expecting me to complete my job, which cannot be done until they complete their job!
Oh no! Are you going to look for a new instructor? If so, I hope you find a good one! If not, I hope the current one improves. It makes it hard when they aren't good!
MH was sick so we didn't do too much this weekend. Unfortunately, because I have a lot to do now this afternoon. I did get a couple boxes packed up so that's good! Relaxed, napped, grocery shopped and that's about it!
I am so glad it's Friday. I cannot get into work at all today and have wasted a lot of time doing laundry and looking for new kitchen tables. There was a woman murdered in her house across the back alley from our new house. The police haven't said much except the public is not at risk. I am so curious as to what is going on, especially since there are murmurs that she and one of her neighbors didn't get along and police were investigating. So, I guess that means I should not get to know my new neighbors?
Congrats on your exam! I knew you'd pass! But shitty on the bronchitis. Hope you are feeling better again soon.
It was good! Watched football both Saturday and Sunday (Yay Broncos!), then spent all day yesterday cleaning. Our realtor came over late afternoon and did an initial walk through. We meet again next Tuesday to discuss pricing and marketing. I am most excited about the fact that they also provide a stager. I am going to see how much she is regularly and depending on that might snag her for our new place too!
sapphire bou - I could, but at that moment it was 7 different windows, from 7 different people! :/ Luckily today however, I haven't received any questions!
I am so grumpy at work right now. I wish I could shut down my instant messages so people would leave me the fuck alone. I have 7 windows currently popping up with questions and I just want to scream! However, if I log out of messenger, I will be in shit, so I just need to avoid pulling out my hair.
New construction is so fun! I love being able to see the whole process from start to finish. As soon as it is under roof, the progress will ramp up. Did you customize it or is it part of an existing development and you had a choice of styles?
We are doing custom, so we had to design floor plans and pick everything. You could say we might be a tad stressed out! Ha! Everything is over budget, which I know they say to expect, but holy shit! I just keep repeating, it will be worth it in the end!
