Wedding Countdown! (*98 Days And Counting!!!*)
I Woke Up With An Upset Stomach!
(*I Think I Was Having A Stress Dream, And It Knotted Up My Insides!*)
...SO I'm going to post because I meant to yesterday, and I'm waiting for it to settle enough to go back to sleep before pant-suit shopping with Mommy&Michael this afternoon!
Anyways...
~Yesterday Michael&I went to look at 7 more houses on the Great Hunt-Of-The-House (*Which Will Be Henceforth Written As An Epic!*)... And we found 2 that we REALLY LIKE! So I'm getting some information on one of the houses based on conversion from base-board heat to central a/c and it's disclosure and then we're going to sit down and go through all of the pros and cons. THEN We're going to trek back out to both houses and see then again to make final decisions!
For House #1 we both LOVED the basement... But the living-room bothered me and the kitchen needs some help. Plus they are taking their stove. (*Mer*)
For House #2 we both love the size... (*And I Love That It Has 2 Kitchens!*) -But not the a/c issue! ...BUT if it's cheap enough to fix, we've got time between October and May to fix it! Also, It had lots of space and rooms! Which was nice for it's price!
There is one house worth mentioning... And Michael and I both agree that it constituted a murder scene! Even the basement looked like something out of Texas Chainsaw Massacre! You could have hid people in that basement and no one would have ever known you even HAD a basement! (*LoL*) It didn't help that there were mysterious stains on all the hardwood floors... Like, an unusual amount of deep dark stains! (*LoL*) And the house gave Michael the willy's so we high-tailed it out of there! (*OHH, And The Yard Looked Like A Funeral Plot!*)
~But this time around while out house shopping, other than murder-scene-house, there weren't any really "Bad" houses. Just not exactly what we wanted! (*Except For The Two, Of Course!*)
What's nice is that both houses have been on the market for a reasonable amount of time, so we don't have to RUSH to do it! Which is especially good because we're waiting for the bastards over at Remax to return our escrow money from Dean Dr! Geesh!
...More and more I am convinced that nothing is ever easy!
~But at least they are moving forward in a positive direction!
...I just want to know why I went through in excess of 40 houses the first time we looked at houses and only found ONE that we even remotely liked, and now, on the second time we looked for houses after the first try we found TWO! What the shit is that about? (*LoL*)
...
Other Good News: I have my first interview (*Ever!*) set up with an Adversting/Marketing Agency this coming week! W00t! So Today Michael, Mommy, and I are going out to find me something sleek to wear! -How cool would that be to get a job right now? It would be perfect timing! ...I'm trying not to get my hopes all up, and even if I don't get the job, at least I'll have the experience of interviewing, which is something I've never really done! I'd just really like to get it because it's in something I want to do, and it would be great to get it now and push all of that money straight into the house! I'm ready to leap out of my skin about this! Maybe it was the cause of my upset tum tum? Anxious Dreaming!
Wedding Stuff: Invitations Have Been 10 Times Harder Than I Ever Expected Them To Be! Last weekend was "Invitation Purgatory", and I thought it was over once we placed the order. But then the proofs came in via the internet and the ink looks like it's a problem! ~But Michael is going to call the invitation people for me and figure out what's up with the ink-situation! It looks reasonable on the computer, but printed it looks like holy-hell! So, call we must! Maybe we can get them to send up a hard copy just to make sure? This is really quite a pain-in-the-ass! But I know we can sort it out!
Other (*More Positive!*) Wedding Stuff: I finally filled out all the "Engagement Annoncement" stuff for the News Journal, which made my Mom sooo very happy! Except now, it kinda looks like we have to rush a wedding in 3 months! ...Like I'm Preggers! (*LoL*) Ohh Well, Whatever! Makes my Mom happy!
~I also printed out the rehearsal dinner stuff for her, and signed/scanned/sent in my revised contract for Vivace Strings! So we're good to go with those! Now I need to worry about a Bridal Luncheon! But my mom had a really neato idea to do a High-Tea! ~There's a tea-place up on Concord Pike that would be soo awesome! AND this week I need to call Clair Pruett and Mendenhall Inn and set up their respective business that needs to be done, like now! AND I Need To Do Something About The Huppah!
...
Okay... My Tum-Tum Feels Better Now! (*YeY!*) Sooo I'm Going Back To Bed!
~See You Later Kids!
