*yawn*

Anyway.

What’s been up, you wonder?

Well…I suppose if you haven’t actually talked to us in a while you wouldn’t know we bought a house. We’ve been in it a little less than a month now. There’s still a lot of unpacking to do. Heck…there’s still PACKING and moving from the old house to do! But, we’re planning on knocking that out tomorrow.
So…I love our house. Almost every day I do an excited little dance and seem to love it more and more. Finding it, offering on it, and closing on it seemed to be super fast and take forever at the same time. But we got back a nice amount from them overestimating our closing costs, and so we were able to do a lot of the repairs and some cosmetic things we wanted to do right away. 3 out of 5 of the main floor rooms are painted, so that’s awesome. We just have the foyer/entrance room and the master bedroom to do there. The bonus room upstairs is going to stay as-is for a while…it’s brown but not hideous. Haha. So upstairs it’s just the hallway, because the 2 bedrooms will be done being painted pretty soon as well as the bathroom. And the basement is staying white…except for my painting room which I am sure will eventually be an array of colors from my splattering and painting experiments.

Oh…I guess I haven’t specified…it’s a 3 bedroom 3 bath house with a bonus and a basement (all finished but one storage room). It’s on a 1/2 acre of land so we have a huge yard in front and back, and the back is already fenced. Half of the back is wooded and the rest is grassy…it’s super nice. We have a screened back porch.

The only thing we currently NEED is a stove!! Haha…we bought a refrigerator, and I was supposed to trade painting some tiles for a guy Mark works with for a stove he was getting rid of because he was upgrading his kitchen…but when he was bringing the stove over he didn’t tie it down in the truck and the front part of it got smashed.
So the trade isn’t happening on that one, and we hadn’t budgeted for a stove since we thought we had that taken care of.

But…it’s OK. Whenever the side job check comes we’ll get one…that or when we get the tax credit refund.

My trip fund got sucked into the closing of the house, but once the credit comes in it will be replenished and since I checked today and tickets are still awesomely cheap, I’ll be off to see mah Lizzie in Sept.

So I guess beyond moving and things there hasn’t been too too much going on. Trips to KY and OH are planned soon, and…general hanging out with siblings and things while they’re back home for the summer. I have a massage waiting for me whenever I wanna cash in on that…

I was going to delete my MySpace, but then I noticed the blogs and haven’t decided what to do with them yet. Goodness, I still have a Xanga up and out there…and I’m pretty sure there is a DeadJournal hanging around too. Maaaaan…DeadJournal. Weren’t those the days. Updating during skool. Madness and drama abound!

Now I want to wander off and see if I can’t find that.

Tata!

EDIT:

OMG what a crazy spaz I was when I was 16/17! I’m like…what the crap am I talking about?! And so. Much. DRAMA! Whew…I’m glad there’s 90% less of that now. Srsly.
