Day 103

Oh my gosh... what a busy day. I am now officially called a different name. That's my happy thing. Only G had to remind me of this because earlier this evening after parent-teacher conferences we called our realtor and she told us that we may have lost the house..... I'll think of happy stuff tomorrow. Right now, I'll just be sad a little while...

Day 102

What to do? I have this...

Malabrigo Sock- Candombe

Now, what to make?

Broken Cable Rib by Ann Budd

OR

Toasty Twist by Teresa Fox

OR

Socks of Kindness by Chawne

OR 

Can you suggest a shawl??? I don't wear them that often but am wondering if this yarn should be shown to the world rather than hidden under my pants.

This is a great yarn and I don't want to "waste" it.... 

Day 101

Change of plans... we will not be closing on Friday because the septic system did not pass the inspection. This is not an unexpected issue as we had already known that the sellers would be putting funds into escrow to pay for a replacement BUT we did not know that the lending agent would not approve the loan if the septic was deemed an  "imminent risk". OOPS... so the move-in date will change and the painting will have to wait and blah blah blah...
Oh well, we made homemade pizza for supper. That's exciting. And today was finally haircut day for G. Since moving in together, I have taken over the duty of G's official hairdresser (his mom had this honor as recent as six months ago- do you believe he's only paid for ONE haircut in his entire life?). Let's just say that I've been improving and today was "not sooooo bad." This is a major improvement from the last time. Hope your days are going well!

Day 100

OH LUCKY DAY!!!!!! DAY 100!!!!!!!!!

And check- my house is rented and the tenants move in on May 1st! YIPPIE!!!!
p.s. To celebrate such a glorious event of 100 days of blogging with only two days that Kala had to help support the cause (without internet, blogging is tricky!) and that my MPLS monthly mortgage payments are now being paid for by someone else, Kala is sponsoring a giveaway on her blog in my honor... oh wait, maybe not in my honor or for that matter anything at all to do with me BUT she is hosting a giveaway and you should check it out here.

Day 99

My friends are awesome! Look what we made today!

This is an egg dying resist technique called Pysanky. Kathy is our fearless leader and organized the event last year and this year making it our annual tradition. In my opinion it's the best way way to dye eggs. So much fun. Thanks chicas!

Day 98

So yesterday I went to the house to check out the fridge measurements and took a few pics of the bathrooms to help inspire G's thinking about getting new faucets. Check out the current fixtures:

Here's the rest of the rooms:

First one, room color and wallpaper not so bad but fixtures not the best. Second one, wallpaper and countertop not the best but fixtures not so bad... What to do?

Here's what I'm hoping for.. something like this would be nice... What do you think?

Day 97

Thanks for all your help with the fridge stuff! We've decided on black with the freezer on the bottom. Yea!  Check that off the list!
Today was the first and only varsity home track meet and I was enlisted to help with the timing. It was an interesting evening with many heated discussions about who was in what place. I offered to time for 8th place (last place) and still had to be assertive a few times to make sure I got the right person. Silly other timers....
It was a nice way to spend an evening outside and watch some good athletes and the sunset. Hope your Friday was fun!
