Joe's Got Good Taste
We bought our kitchen table. I can't wait to see it in my house. Joe picked it out. I think he's got impeccable taste. I love love love world market.
Here's Our House!
I plan to decorate pretty much the same way as the model.
Exceptions are the color of the walls; I'm thinking a golden color,
The window in the dining area becomes french doors,
And the dining area will be wood laminate instead of carpet.
Things I will duplicate will be the bar stools,
The round glass dining table,
And the shiny metal ceiling tiles above the table.

Our House
Our house, is a very, very, very fine house.
With two cats in the yard,
Life used to be so hard,
Now everything is easy 'cause of you.

We're signing the papers on our home!
I think the Jew comes out in me at times like this. I want to know what everything costs and where we can pinch pennies. One of the things I opted to do was downgrade the carpet. It saves of $750.00.
My thought was, I'm about to have a little kid. Kids are notorious for destroying carpet. So I figure, let's get the basic carpet, let Evan destroy it and once he's 5, we get berber. (When Trevor was 2, he painted a beautiful picture for me in acrylic on the carpet of a house I was renting.)
The other thing I have to do on my chore list is find a set French Doors. They were trying to sell us an Atrium Door for $1,500.00!
Good grief, it's 1.) Expensive
2.) Not the doors I wanted.
They said it might be possible to put up a piece of plywood and We'll install the doors we want before the inspector comes.
I found some doors I like...
They'll maximize natural light. the other set I like are these...
Happy Birthday to my Sweetheart!

I'm so happy it's finally coming together! :)

Rollin' down the street Smoking Indo
Rollin' down the street
Smoking Indo
Sippin' on gin and juice
Laid back
With my mind on my money
And my money on my mind
Seems we might be able to get the house after all. *Smiley face
All we had to do was get a guy to agree to do the land work for cheap, (god I hope he's not an idiot) and move costs from one loan into another loan. Viola!
Weirdly, I have been craving cigarettes after 9.5 months cessation. What's up with that?

Our House & Our Babies

With the pork and beans
Excuse my manners
If I make a scene"

I was so upset last night at the possibility of us not getting our house. Joe said, "Bad stuff doesn't happen to me. You're rolling with the big dogs now..."
That made me laugh.
Then a while later he said, "feel better now?" I didn't. He said, "Don't worry..." as he looked me in the eye, "all we need is each other, and our babies."
AWE! Melt my heart, why don't you! That was so sweet and it's true. That is all we really need. I feel better now.
What exactly is the problem that I'm so worried about? The contractor we're working with wants an extra $20,000 for work we thought would be much less. It's crazy and ridiculous actually, $14,000 for excavating? $6,000 for septic? WTF? Are you serious? They're serious.
What's worse, I asked for the list of things that need to be done to the property so that I could get competing bids from other contractors. I paid $250 for the guy to come out and survey the land, right? No, they said they will not assist me in hiring competitors. They even went as far as to hide pertinent information in the docs we're supposed to sign once they "found out" I was shopping bids.
If we don't start construction soon, we wont be able to move into our home until god-knows-when. Spring probably. Luckily, a very kind neighbor and friend of the Christopher family opened up an apartment over her barn for us. That's a relief. At least we'll have somewhere to stay temporarily.
In other news, my pregnant belly is bigger and better than ever. I get aches and pains here and there, but this morning, I pulled a muscle putting on my underwear. That's pretty pathetic. Actually, what's pathetic will be when my belly gets in the way of me putting on my own shoes. I see that happening by next month.
I wonder, why do I still have heartburn? I only ate spicy turkey chili, a bean burrito, a blueberry scone and a big fat brownie for dinner last night. I'm being sarcastic. I know exactly why I have heartburn... I've been infected with a government sponsored bioengineering experiment of which I will give birth to a rapidly aging baby, of course.
Or did I see that on TV?

House
This house thing is killing me. :(
I'm do not want to lose this house. I've invested so much time and energy in making it perfect. I have everything picked out, I know where I'm going to put our furniture, I have all these dreams about what it's going to be like living there.
Oh, I hope money doesn't keep us from getting our house.
