Under contract.

We put in our bid and received a counter offer that we accepted. Details were ironed out and we are now under contract. The inspection is scheduled for Wednesday, June 2nd in the afternoon. I hope it goes well and there isn't anything seriously wrong or a lot of back and forth. I'm hoping for a quick and easy process, but I'm just a newb.

I've made some progress for the craft show and have developed even more ideas. Sometimes I wish I could turn off my brain....

The veggies are doing lovely and I hope we have a nice sunny spot for them at the new place.

Last night, some of the Sirens had a Butt Naked Trivia sendoff for Josie Stalin. She's in the military and skated a couple months with us and in the Charleston game. I'm going to miss her on and off the track. Why must all the military peeps be cool and missable?

Crafty Feast, etc.

I was accepted in my first juried craft show. I was kinda hoping that I wouldn't be....with all the stuff that's been going on I've run outta the initial steam. I've got plenty of ideas, it's the confidence and willpower I'm missing.

My wristcushion on the vendor page...I should probably make more of those.

There's been a lot of derby drama going on as of late. It would be fine it I wasn't directly involved. I won't even waste my time typing it, it's so stupid. I hate it, but it's affected me greatly. I've been in a serious funk. That coupled with Audrey and the stress of buying a house is crazy...I didn't know how easy I had it.

Speaking of buying a house, we are trying to put a bid on the Tanager place. It should be in by next week. I'm excited and can't stop mentally moving out of the current place and decorating the new one...makes me kind of feel grown up.

The veggies are doing fine. Looks like they are trying to outgrown their containers. There are several blossoms on both the pepper plants and we've harvested some cilantro for an awesome pasta dish.

Also, we're doing the Neilson ratings again. I love it! They also seem to correspond with bout weeks though....

Garden! and other news.

After 2.5 years without one we now have another patio garden. We plantered them a week ago Sunday. It consists of tomatoes, cucumbers, green bell peppers, cayenne peppers and cilantro. I took pictures right after and intend on charting the weekly progress photographically. I'm excited. We have the perfect deck for such a thing...too bad it faces the chatty neighbors. le sigh. Could be worse I suppose.

 

Speaking of moving, we've begun the official search to find a house...to buy! Wednesday we went to check out a few properties to possibly cash in on the last days of the tax credit. Expectations were at reasonable levels...still are. Adams and I found and fell in love with a 4 bedroom 2 bath split level on a cul-de-sac and shady lot. The good kind of shady except for a few dead pines, that is. The appliances included a built in wine cooler. We aren't much on white wines, but we might learn to get used to it. Fireplace inside and fire pit out back. It just seemed too good to be true really. The next day, Thursday, we corral the parents to get their opinions and good thing we did. Adams' dad, being an electrical engineer, knew all the right things to look for and the right questions to ask. My dad, being a paint contractor, has been around the block too. Long story short, there was alot to work on not to mention the fact it was on the higher end of our price range. Ultimately we decided to wait. Connie, the Realtor, confirmed that if it was meant to be then it would happen. She said that once we get past this tax break and house sales are slowing then prices may drop as people get desperate to unload properties. Really our lease isn't up until mid-August so we have plenty of time to find the right place...I hope it's a split level. ;)
