Lots of excitement to report. Friday night, my sister came by to hang out since she is visiting from Georgia for some sort of requirement for her master's degree something or another. Didn't realize that "Wood Grill Buffet" was Western Sizzlin AKA Walmart Feedin' Trough. Got stuck there anyway and ate food that made me feel like dying. Afterwards hung out with Brandon and the sis back at the house and drank 3 bottles of good nice wine (2 of the Merlot's that Brandon and I had made) and then the bottle of nasty white zinfindel that she insisted on. I knew it was stupid and I was going to get sick drinking that crap, and I was totally right. Saturday morning she left early and Brandon and I had planned to go and check out a list of 10 houses that we had narrowed our search down to. Took some Pepto before we left to quiet the gurgling in my tummy. The curvy mountain roads of Greene county did me in and I totally puked frothy hot pink vomit in the yard of one of the houses we were checking out. God I hate cheap wine. After looking at the homes, we further narrowed down our search to 3. Brandon called the realtor he's been working with and she was able to take us into those three that afternoon. Had some close calls of "oh my god, I'm going to have to hide somewhere and puke" but avoided that situation luckily. We got really excited about two of the 3 and took the evening to sleep on it.
Sunday we hung out in the morning at both of my brother's homes before...meeting up with the realtor and putting in a bid on one of the homes! Yippeee! We should know by Tuesday what they think of our offer. Cross your fingers for us! If we get it, we'd be 4 miles max from the Skyline Drive with a 3000 square foot aweome home with a HUGE basement (can we say JAM SPACE???) and 2.5 acres of woods complete with trails and a small river. Thier asking price is SUPER reasonable too, about 100k less than our max price. This would rule so hard. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!!!
In other less exciting news on the crafty side of things, I totally learned how to make mineral makeup from scratch and ordered all the supplies and chemicals and colorants and such and made 125 different eyeshadows and a tupperwear container of foundation in the first week. I love being self-sufficient.
