I love it. Want. But I have no reason or place to wear it so just admire it from afar.
RE: temp move and short sale. There are a couple of issues with the temp move. Nightmare for kids - check! Nightmare for moms - check! Nightmare for our dog - check! It's probable we could spend the summer at a friend's place (Burrell, check it out, she lives in Ivanhoe's attendance area so if we did that, we could move into her place, and pay her utilities, which we would) in our names and then enroll N&G at Ivanhoe which is on the way to work for K) because she and her son go to Massachusetts each summer.
But there was another offer on the house and it's possible they won't accept ours at all. And even if the sellers do, it's possible that their bank won't approve it. They have two mortgages on this house and they are offering it at less than $150,000 what they paid for it before they pulled equity out a second time.
We'll see what the banks say. But we're told it could take up to 5 months to close.
Market haul (and for $29.50!): asparagus, pint and a quart of strawberries, pint of the first white cherries, 1/2 lb of salad greens, 2 empanadas and a flower to plant in the pot Taylor gave me. And now I need to do my store errands.
Discovered a massive bruise (raised even) on my wrist. I know I got it putting in the AC, but I'm not sure how. I don't remember whacking it in particular, but I was whacking a lot of things. However, since it is supposed to hit near 100 today, REALLY GLAD I put it in last night. Whoof.
OK, time to run out.
I was just trying to decide if I wanted to hit OSH for some plants and then hit TJs and the Farmers market before they all got too crowded. I should feel inspired by Sarameg, but I am not sure I've had enough coffee yet.
We're getting blueberries here which is a world of yum.
Ugh is right.
Totes, Kat. I hope something good happens for you soon, to help even things out a little.
Huh?
Isn't that odd, tommy? But I did notice when I visited England that they are very resolute about not pronouncing words with their foreign pronunciation. I didn't realize they considered it pretentious. I always thought it was more obnoxious to say "Macho" like "Matcho." We're colonizing your words and they'll live under our rules!
What's funny and deeply ironic is that while we were looking at houses, K told our realtor, "I absolutely do not want to do a short sale. It sounds like a nightmare!"
But we really like the house. We'll see.
