Day 71

Very slow internet when you're stealing it from your neighbor so I can't post all the amazing photos I want to today... will just have to catch up when I return home. For now though, check out the knitted softies by my Fiber Arts students. It was so much fun to teach them to how to knit!

ok. just joking... no photos today because the internet is so slow that it won't let me upload any.
Maybe tomorrow!

Day 70

Busy day....
Up SUPER early being nervous about our new house and my MPLS house being rented out. (yippie!)
Went to school, graded a whole bunch of artwork while students were taking their finals.
Came home not feeling well and took a nap.
Got up.
Played a double -header with my volleyball team.
Went out and threw some darts with my hubby and some other teachers.
Nice way to spend the day... all my happy things....

First phase of this final move begins on Sunday. Fingers crossed that it doesn't snow....

Day 69

Best thing about buying a new house? Finding out that credits scores can be as high as 800.... that's right. You thought 700 was high? Oh no, I've got scores in the 800's.... That's right folks, I'm awesome.

Even better than 800 though is knowing that mine were bigger than G's... 

hee hee.

(p.s. I thought they only went to 700. I had no idea about 800.)

(p.s.s. They do not go into the 900's. G asked about that too.)

Day 68

Make an offer: check

Negotiate Price: check

Day 67

Well, just when I was having a hard time thinking of something to write about, my good friend Kala decided to sponsor a giveaway on her blog... Now that's something to be happy about, despite the fact I never win!!!

Day 66

So, you know when you're looking at a house and you dream about the colors that the walls could be, and the color of the new countertops in the kitchen, and where you're going to put your couch, bed, piano, chairs, dining room table.... well, in there somewhere, I tend to dream about doorknobs and kitchen cabinet knobs and pulls. I know, you may think I'm crazy (you wouldn't be alone- my whole family thinks that's nuts too) but I long to have all of the metal details in my new home have an oil rubbed bronze finish...... Dorky? Maybe. But just imagine this house with all those little details...

I'll invite you over after we sign the papers... then you can make fun of my fetish for oil rubbed bronze too.

Day 65

My new friend Mary Jo and I went for a walk around town today and the most interesting part was down by the railroad tracks.... 

such interesting textures and colors and........

signs....

This one says Do Not HUMP....

Wonder what that means?!?!?!?
