Packing, moving, packing, moving, packing, moving. Oh yeah, this is why I never move. 
I despise it. 
Will be offline for a bit. No Internet access at the new place yet.
Soon my little kiddies.. soon.
Till then, I have more packing tonight, moving tomorrow, Family "wake" for my Uncle tomorrow evening, Funeral on Monday.
Man I am exhausted physically and emotionally.
Possibly job interview...

You know that list of major life stressors? The things that can just push people over the edge...
I feel like I am a living experiment in how many can be piled on at once before you crack.
1. Bought my first new home. My mortgage payment is $800 more per month that my rent was. Can I make it? What kind of lifestyle will...

Here's something you don't want to hear: This too shall pass. I know it doesn't help in the moment (believe me, this past year has been the most stressful I've ever encountered... ever), but if you can internaize it, then it is valuable. Remember that you are not beholen to anyone or anything that you do not want to be beholden to. The one thing that everyone I trust for wisdom has said is "do what you love and the money will come." You have a house and a mortgage and that's fucking scary, because it means that you have to make sure you can take care of yourself. But do not use it as an excuse to stiffle yourself. You gave yourself an incredible gift: a home. But you have to be able to use it. Escape! Do! But use the weekend away to get some perspective on all of this shit, so that it doesn't feel so overwhelming because you're not crushed under it at the moment.
I'll stop pestering you. If you need a drink, i have time and an excuse.

the deal is done ...
The house is mine. Now the fun starts eh?
Cleaning, moving, packing, buying lots of new things..
oooohhhh sooo much fun. Okay not the moving packing part but the rest is fun.
Beautiful weekend. Tempted to do nothing with the new house today and take a road trip to just relax for awhile.
hrrrmmmm...

Ok, I THINK I cut my eye with my contact lens. OR my fingernail. I am so accident prone, I really should have health insurance!

Yup, i'm about 5'11. Girls like me are rare... and boys that are 6'4 are also very rare... but if i keep chugging (i think i can, i think i can.) then maybe it'll work out! That's the plan anyway. I might have to settle for 6'2 (sigh!!! the terrors of singlehood)... but we'll see how it works. ... i'm still not sure when i'll be in a place where i want someone for real.
you can still take me for a ride in your convertible, if'n you want. i wouldn't object.

Well it has been a good weekend. Went out to see the house yesterday to see how much progress they have made on the list from the inspection. Looks like they are about 3/4 of the way done.
Supposed to sign by Wednesday. Then close by Friday. Woo Hoo!
Then she is all mine! I am sooooo excited.
Pretty much done shopping at this point...

It was against their policy to tattoo there for some reason. Apparently they thought it would ruin my life, or something ridiculous like that. Who knows?
Happy (belated) birthday!

I've moved since then. The problem was that someone removed the list of names that went on the buzzerbox out front.
Thanks for the offer though.

Well progress update.
Things are going well. Waiting to hear back on what the builder thinks of the inspection we had done and if he is going to go along with all the minor fixes I wanted. Should have the appraisal on Monday or Tuesday and that is really the last item that could derail this deal but it should be okay.

I used to go to school with him. He graduated last year and moved. A few hours away. I am both leggy and buxom, but I don't seem (at least to myself) to be able to just pick from the lot, or anything. I told him before he left at some point that I'd had a crush on him for a long time, but I don't think he knows how severe it is. And even if he does, I am dating someone... Which makes it harder.
Well after much ado, wailing and knashing of teeth it is done my friends....
I am buying a house.
If you want to see it, it is still listed here: Real Estate Listings
Do a MLS Search on this number: 6010911
Offer made, he countered and I accepted. Woo Hoo! Now the fun....
Refrigerator, Washer/Dryer, Window Treatments, Movers, Inspection, New Dining Room Table, Closing Costs....

I am loving Devil in the White City. I haven't actually finished it yet, but I plan to this weekend since I will be holed away in a cabin in the woods.
My photoset is hidden in the PSW photosets, but it doesn't have my name in the title, just "BOXERS" because I forgot to put my name.
I haven't done the fire set yet, but I scheduled it. I am just waiting for good evening weather and my photographer to be available on the same day.
Hey, you're in Portland...hi!

Congratulations, my friend! You are a true "grown-up", now! (For my part, I'm still doing the renters' shuffle! Bah!)
Welcome to serious indebtedness...and your very own garage!

I'm cancelling my membership next time it rolls around, don't know when that is. I've been using myspace lately, I just like it a lot better.

Kind of cool and I am glad I got to see it and be there with her when it happened.
How come I do not have a certificate of citizenship? They are kind of cool.
Nothing else exciting going on. Still house hunting, have narrowed the...

I understand that. Have fun this weekend.

Good luck house-hunting. I've certainly given up that possibility for a few years. Sheesh! Who knew P-town was so damn popular.
