This arrived for me yesterday via UPS: So, thus next week I begin the project to re-do my hair once again, but this time by myself. I also have bleach with a brush and a bucketload of rubber gloves so my hair doesn’t get stained. I think for this first attempt I’m going to try [...]

I’ve been a fan of web comics since I was in college. I used to distract myself from papers reading things like Mega Tokyo. It makes me feel strange looking at the site now, that I can go. I was reading this when it first started, when there were maybe three comics in the archives, [...]

I was realizing that moving is going to mean that we have to get a lot of things on top of just the buying of the house, situation. Depending on where we move we’re going to need a lawnmower, and given I’ve had a washer and dryer for almost six months now it’s going to [...]

I didn’t get any more boxes packed yesterday. I’m going to be trying my damnedest to get some more done today. We have more boxes now I have no excuse…seriously. I did get all my errand running done though, which is something. I have hubbie’s uniforms, I got the forms checked at the brokers and [...]

This paperwork is our primary task for today. We received the paperwork via Fed-Ex Friday morning, but I wasn’t in a position to sit down and really do more than a cursory glance. It’s so many pages, one side ours to keep, one side we have to initial and sign on almost every sheet of [...]

It’s funny, well, no, really it’s not, it’s absolutely the opposite of funny how things will pop into your mind at inopportune times. I woke up during the night needing the bathroom and as I was coming back to bed, my brain pointed out to me that there’s a good chance our closing will come [...]

I’m remembering to be thankful more and express that. My husband and I had a talk a few months ago about the fact that he didn’t realize that my random “just because” hugs and kisses were to say thank you, I love you and all those sorts of things. I would extol his virtue to [...]

We’ve found out a few good things. Our credit is excellent and the mortgage pre-approval went through in a few hours, so that’s good. Our landlord here has extended our “dismissal” until the 31st of December, which gives us a little bit more breathing room, not much, but a bit. We have to try and [...]

We have 30, well 29 days now to get out of the place we’re living. We’ve decided the best way to handle this is to find a house. We’re lucky that we’ve been able to find a program with a low fixed interest rate and 100% financing as we haven’t rebuilt our savings yet from [...]

One thing with the move is I’m hoping for the possibility of being able to work from home a bit more thoroughly than I already do. While I don’t think I’m ready for a huge overhaul and an office depending on how things go and our luck with electronics we may well need to get [...]
