What's you doing.... right now?
Just curious.
I'm listening to "Empire State of Mind" on repeat while making a custom poster on Zazzle, because apparently you can't find a nice black and whtie poster of the Minneapolis skyline for less than $60. Which means I'm going for the seating chart thing
What're you laydees doing?

DH asked if I wanted to meet he and a friend up at Chili's for a beer and dinner, but I'm sweaty and sleepy. I just want to have a bath and stay home. I told him to bring me something home.

[QUOTE]Shannon, you are my hero. I'd planned on doing the same thing today, but I was a lump!
Posted by polichik[/QUOTE]
I've been such a frigging lump this entire week - literally have done nothing. Except breathe. And eat leftover wedding cake. MMMM.
I only cleaned the house today so I could feel better about myself. <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-kiss.gif" border="0" alt="Kiss" title="Kiss" />
Do not mess in the affairs of dinosaurs because you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.
I love you Missy. Even though you are not smart enough to take online quizzes to find out really important information. ~cew

Shannon, how did everything pan out with the house with the water heater (?) that needed to be replaced before closing?

You have an amazing memory, my dear. <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-laughing.gif" border="0" alt="Laughing" title="Laughing" /> Things worked out great, fortunately! We thought we were going to have to have the bank send their "approved plumber" out to fix the water heater, since we didn't actually own the house yet, and FHA wouldn't have approved the loan unless it was fixed. Fuucking catch 22. But then we found out that FHA had not stipulations on it, so we waited until after we closed and then DH fixed it himself!
Cost to have the bank's guy do it: $80 for showing up at the door, $50 for labor, ??? for parts
Cost for DH to do it: $10. It was just a tiny piece of PVC pipe - nothing major. WOOT!
So we're good! We're all moved in and loving it. Still so much to do, but we're so happy now that the house-hunting/house-buying, graduation, and wedding processes are all over.
Feels good to relax again! <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-laughing.gif" border="0" alt="Laughing" title="Laughing" />
How are things with your new place?? I don't believe I ever saw a picture!

[QUOTE]Eating a non-non-carb dinner (red beans and rice; thanks, Zatarains). Also watching Criminal Minds, listening to Max be mad in the kennel (he gets kennel time when we eat), and keeping a close eye on the weather. Still just a tornado watch, though. Some nasty stuff in the western part of the state. Rain's headed in pretty quick; lots of thunder and the roll cloud just went through.

I went to school in Iowa, and whenever there were tornado watches, friends of mine from SE Iowa always wanted to go follow the storm. No thank you.
Planning BIO
It's finally starting to feel like home. We've got most of the boxes unpacked and have settled into a cleaning/yardwork routine. My garden is going nuts and we've met most of our immediate neighbors.
It's fun getting the history of our house from them too. Apparently the owner moved out 3 years ago assuming he could sell the house after he moved, and then was never able to sell it. Because he never came back the house was in great condition but still foreclosure priced so it was awesome. We do have 3 years worth of leaves to clear, lawn in not so great condition, etc. I've got some in my blog, I need to get newer ones up though

[QUOTE]Just got home from a 3 mi walk with my cousin and our dogs. Waiting for FI to get home from work so we can eat, I'm starving! L-Bride, <strong>I just turned on the show to see what the deal is... I've only seen commercials so far.</strong>

<div>They seem like a sweet family...but I really need to know why they have a show. I guess I could ask that question about most shows though.</div>
[QUOTE]Reddy: Love the invites. You are a better woman than I because that looks very involved....a project like that would be a tedious one for me!

</div><div>lol, the funny thing is I'm a really detail-oriented artist and even this project was too involved for me. I told FI, "That was the most complicated part to our wedding- if anything even gets close to being that complicated we are just scrapping the idea."</div><div> He heartily agreed.</div>

Sounds a lot like our situation! We've settled into the cleaning/yardwork routine as well. It, like your house, needs some love in the yard. It sat here for quite some time, unoccupied, and the grass has dead patches and we've probably trimmed the equivalent of a quarter acre of dead palm fronds, branches, leaves, etc. from the trees/bushes since we moved in. But it's been fun. :)
I'm jealous of your garden skills! DH and I bought a bunch of awesome landscaping books and we've been learning all kinds of stuff. We have so many ideas now, but haven't actually started anything yet. We have tons of yard, so we're still making plans. But I want veggies, fruits, herbs, tons of flower beds, trees, arbors, fountains, pergolas, raised beds, bird-feeders, a bird bath, maybe a bridge and a pond? I'm dead serious. And maybe crazy. <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-laughing.gif" border="0" alt="Laughing" title="Laughing" />
I'm so excited about my little veggie garden. I planted radishes, carrots, calorabi, spinach, beans and peppers when we moved in. I have a few radishes that should be ready next week and everything else is maybe a month away. My tomato is getting huge too.
This year is mostly the planning year, then next summer will be the serious landscaping year.
