vibes coming your way as I write this! And don't worry about not keeping up
with the group - We'll be here when you can check in. -- Cindy Bettinger; http://photos.yahoo.com/cbet_99 http://www.one-eleven.net/~music/ http://simplymusic.net "Cina" wrote in message ... ...but I'm still trying to keep up with this group, even though I know it's hopeless. Today is the day we're supposed to sign the P&S agreement for our house. After weeks of back and forth with the folks who are gonna buy it, and lots of waiting for the lawyers to get back to us* it's finally getting somewhere. (*Selling a Home Lesson #1: Never go with the lawyer who is a friend of your stepsister's father-in-law and won't charge you. Spend the money- sell your firstborn, if you must- and pay for a lawyer. Because if you're not a paying customer, you don't get your phone calls returned right away, nor your papers read that day. We coulda had this signed weeks ago if the lawyers weren't slow as slugs.) I've been a basket case lately. All the negotiations involved with selling the house has me frazzled, but that's not all. DH is selling two vehicles, and has been dragging me from dealership to dealership looking at new trucks. As of last evening, his plan was to order one from the factory, to be delivered a few days after the closing of the house sale. But who knows what today will bring? Maybe he'll want to dicker a while for the overloaded one on the lot, and run some numbers with the poor salesguy. Plus, our current everyday car has been in the shop for the past month with engine troubles. The dealership is nice enough to provide a loaner car, but I miss my car. We're going to visit Alaska in about 3 weeks, and are making arrangements for a house-hunting spree. There's about a half dozen houses now that have potential, and I'm hoping for a boom on new listings in the next couple weeks. If we don't find anything to put an offer on, we have to start looking at rental housing, so we've got somewhere to go with the kids and dogs. Though, finding a rental that will take four dogs is going to be just as challenging as finding the perfect house. The MIT Flea market is this weekend, and DH has already reserved our space there. With my help, he's going to unload the mountains of old computer equipment that took over several rooms of this house. And the money from this is going to fund our "goodbye to family" trip next week... the kids are off school, so we're visiting our far-flung relatives for the last time before the move. Packing has been going a bit slowly, but I'm gaining momentum! I'm limited at this point because I keep running out of boxes... DH was supposed to order a bunch last week (Him: "50 is enough, right?" Me: "It's a start.") but they haven't arrived yet. There's a bunch more stuff to do, but I think I'm mostly on top of it. Sadly, my sewing machines have been neglected lately, but I'm using the next three days to catch up. I hope everyone is doing well and quilting happily. I'm still around a bit, but going back to mostly-lurk mode until after the move. Closing is supposed to be June 1, with us vacating around the 7th. I'll take all the good vibes for paper signing and an uncomplicated closing that I can get. And maybe house-hunting vibes, as well! Cina |
