B&M Monday
I am a genius.
Last night I was driving home after dropping a friend off, and I totally pulled out right in front of a cop. He nearly broadsided me. So I just pulled over to the side of the road and waited for him. Got a ticket for expired registration, only (which I deserve), which I suppose is better than it could have been. What sucks is I'd been sitting in my car with my friend for about half an hour talking politics, and I kept thinking, "If only we'd been just a bit more or a bit less involved in what we were talking about, I would have missed this guy."
This is a P&R, I think. We have inservice and I'm a presenter, so I can't really be on my phone.

Re: B&M Monday
I guess my only B&M is that FI's dad won't get the guest list with addresses back to me.
I also B&M our tiny tiny apartment that I am less motivated each day to keep tidy. I used to keep it spotless and as everything accumulates (including dog hair), I just don't even care anymore.
I'm so ready to move.
And by computer setup I mean 2 monitors, some sort of 8x10 pad that comes with a pen for drawing, an HD printer, and other random attachments.
And because of all this stuff being in the dining room we had to reinstitute the (very large) crate so the dog wouldn't go on an all-electronics diet when left alone. When it was just me there was nothing left around that could be eaten.
Just 6 more months....
[QUOTE]Kathleen, I so hate you're going through this! We bought a pre-owned home, and have had NO problems what-so-ever. Of course our previous owners kept this house in immaculate condition. :-(

Well, in all reality it's probably those that I chose to do business with.
I'm pretty sure the ants came in with the furniture. That was part of our home inspection and it came back clean. I don't think they just spontaneously appear.<div>
</div><div>I am calling Rooms To Go today to see what they will do if the exterminator finds the ants came with the furniture. (Read:They're going to come get it and replace it or refund my money.) </div><div>
</div><div>Other than that everything has been okay. I just wish it didn't all have to happen at one time. </div><div>We will be getting a new stove/oven soon though. I cleaned it yesterday and ended up with spray paint on my sponge. BOO.</div>

Oy, crash -- your house stores make me nervous! :-/ I bought from Rooms to Go once and would never buy from them again, especially a mattress.
My B&Ms including getting a random migraine headache last night, not having enough time to study for my test tomorrow, calling in sick to work today because I feel like crap, and most importantly.... getting to tell our realtor I don't think we're going to take the house. I feel like a douchecanoe for putting down an offer and changing our minds but this can't be that uncommon, can it?

Nope. FMIL has done this multiple times with their last two houses. <div>Better to feel like a douchecanoe than to be stuck in a house you were lukewarm on in the first place.

</div><div>Well,Word to the wise: </div><div>1.Don't buy from a flip company-if you do, and they start being shady.Run. :)</div><div>2.Don't buy from Texas Appliance </div><div>
</div><div>Not buying from RTG makes me sad, we bought our couch from there and I love it so I'll be really disappointed if the ants came with the furniture. </div><div>I just know it didn't come with any of our stuff because we didn't have carpenter ants, and in Jan when we had the inspection done we were clear. So I just don't know anymore.</div><div>
</div><div>But also, when you decide to go through on a house, I highly recommend our inspector. He's a little pricey but it was worth it. Just PM me when/if you want it.</div><div>

RTG has a couch I LOVE but I'd really have to think about it before buying. Myself and my mom had a bad experience with RTG on quality and ease of returns/exchanges. They do have some really cute stuff though. I say all this now and then we'll end up buying from there because their prices are right.
We'll definitely take the name of your inspector when the time comes!
Just talked to our Realtor and we terminated the contract. Yaaay, and now I feel even worse.

Yes! I heard this week's was awesome. I have missed so many this season cause I quit DVring them.
I'm not so good with the advice... Can I interest you in a sarcastic comment?

Don't feel bad. Sometimes you just don't mesh with people and that's okay.

We terminated the contract on the house, not the contract with our REA. I should have been more clear, sorry.

Oh, well still. That's nothing to feel bad about.
It will all be okay. :)
The only thing I dislike about not working on bank holidays is that I have business to take care of with government agencies, and they are closed as well. I would LOVE to not have to take a half day off work to get my name changed at DPS.
I'm seriously thinking about telling her to keep them and my deposit and going to get some target ones if she doesn't have them by tomorrow.
This is ridiculous. I'm starting to think at this point that she didn't even order them and is now trying to buy herself some time.

Do I sense an invite making G2G soon?

You're KIDDING me. Wow... unbelievable. I'm so sorry, Kathleen. If I were you, I would probably be reconsidering my options right now too unless she can show you proof of purchase and some sort of tracking info showing where the materials are right now. I would ask for my deposit back... at least part of it.
If it were me, I would probably go ahead and look for other options. And I'm sure we can have an invite G2G like Wendi said!

[QUOTE]So I am a nerd, and I got on vistaprint to creat new return labels today. I love their labels that you can customize with <strong>little characters of you and your family and pets. </strong>I may or may not put off sending thank you cards just so I can put those on the envelopes :)

I may have to order these for my TY notes.<div>
</div><div>Invite G2G?
Idk about that...our house is still in the "let's live out fo boxes" phase of unpacking. </div><div>We'll see when they get here though. lol.
Which better be tomorrow. Or I may just flip my ish.</div>

We can just go takeover some tables at L&W for an evening. They won't mind I'm sure ;)
I seriously hope it doesn't come down to you flipping your ish, though

Ditto. Pretty sure we can find somewhere to take over a few tables and get to work. We'll try not to glue things on crooked after a few drinks. Or maybe all of your invites will be margarita scented. That could be awesome. I'm just sayin'.
I'd offer up our apartment but we couldn't fit many people in a 16x9 space I don't think.
