Excited about the comic book convention! Who loves a nerd! (I do!)

by

Tomorrow, Jason & I are off to Charlotte where we will be attending Heros Aren’t Hard to Find, a comic book convention. Boy, I can’t wait.

That’s right! I cannot wait to rest my pretty little head on those Heavenly Pillows, sleep in those Heavenly Beds at The Westin, shower in their Heavenly Shower, and lounge at the pool. While Jason is walking around with all those guys dressed up like Spiderman or The Silver Surfer, I will be sipping a appletini while Jorge the pool boy feeds me grapes. Okay already, I might not get the grapes fed to me by Jorge but I am definitely going for that appletini!

We still have not had any offers on the house. But who knows. Our day will come.

Maybe next week!

According to our realtor, our open house went well. I am not so sure but I must have some faith right? We had 4 visitors, none with realtors who were interested in seeing the house. All were in the market. One, disappointed because they missed out on the other townhouse in the neighborhood that had a porch. Now, we are the only house for sale that has a full porch and a brick front. That has got to get us somewhere! We have had no reasonable offers. Maybe next week.

While our house was open to the public, Jason and I went to see Ocean’s 13. While I will let him write the review, I will tell you “The Boys are Back in Town” sort to speak. Very charming they were!

Open House tomorrow!!!

by

Tomorrow is our 2nd open house. Say a prayer, cross your fingers or send us a donation check for our two morgages we will have here next month.

I am cleaning the house, had to dust, mop, scrub the tub and all that jazz to pretty up the place for the big day. We are hoping to be more successful that our last open house.

While our house is open to the public, Jason and I are going to see Ocean’s 13. I am definately looking forward to that.

Off to vacuum!

New pictures

by

New pictures are up.  Now you can see what the inside looks like with drywall!  It’s shaping up nicely with a few things that will need to be addressed.

Fixed for now

by

And for the record, I did not blame Gary.  I just know he didn’t know how to fix it and didn’t want to help.  So no more movies for Gary.

As you can see the site is fixed for now.  I still have no idea what was wrong with it.  At this point I don’t care just as long as it doesn’t happen again.

Site is still broken, Jason blames Gary!

by

Our website is still broken. Jason blames Gary. I blame Jason. Who knows when we will get it fixed at this point! I just want my photo gallery back!

School today was not so fun. My instructor has tendencies to show predjudices in a nonchalant way. Today his prejudices were towards those who have tatoos. I was most dissapointed. It just goes to show that even those with years and years of college eduction and lots of little acronyms behind their name can still be ignorant!

We have no flyers in our box! We are completely out. So, people seem to be interested in our house for sale however I can’t figure out what is holding them back from looking inside and making an offer? We haven’t had a viewing in 7 days, meanwhile the house down the street that looks just like ours has sold.

Boy, I am so glad that once we sell this house, it will be years, decades until we have to do it again.

Our Gallery is broke!

by

Our picture gallery is currently broke. Jason is working on getting it fixed!

In the meanwhile, our house does have siding, brick and shingles. This week on the builder’s agenda is installing the insulation and drywall. Yes, drywall already. We are still on schedule to close on July 26th.

Check back with us for pictures! Hopefully we will be fixed by the end of the week.

We have nothing planned this weekend! Nothing!

by

Gas prices are so high, we refused to travel!

We have no big plans this weekend. I had wanted to go to the mall, take pictures on the progress of the new house and watch some TV (not a lot….just a little).

However…..Jason has been feeling quite ill today so I have been sitting on the couch and making sure he is comfortable.

No one has asked to view the house in the past few days. I am beginning to think our St. Joseph is not feeling well too.

Yo, Ho!

by

We watched Pirates 3 last night.  I won’t say I’m disappointed but it definitely wasn’t as good as the previous two.  At three hours (with previews) it was just too long.  They could have cut a good half an hour out just by cutting back on the special effects.  There were some places where you couldn’t help but think, “Wow, ILM is just trying to show off.”  Scenes that should have last 30 seconds were stretched to minutes.  Then, to top it all off, I’m not sure I like the ending.  I won’t spoil it for anyone though.  You can predict it if you pay attention but I was hoping I would be wrong.

PS – There is something after the credits so stick around.  It isn’t vital to the story but it’s worth watching.

The Zoo Trip (the secret to not having to walk up hill)

by

Okay, so after we literally hiked up hill for 4 hours on Sunday, I get to work Monday and a co-worker tells me the genius secret to how not to walk up hill at the zoo.

You park in Africa and take the tram to the top of the hill and walk back down the hill to the tram station, seeing all the lions, elephants, and monkeys in-between.

Then, you take the tram back to the top of the hill and walk down to North America. Then, you take the tram all the way back to Africa.

Otherwise, be prepared to sweat! And, yes, I loved the puffins but the otters were a close second!
