Okay, quick update now & detailed update soon to come. We moved into the new house (a 2 family home) October 1, 2004. Matt & I are upstairs; my mom and her boyfriend are downstairs. It's a great place (pictures coming soon), and we're all pretty happy. Matt & I still have a room of boxes to go, and so do they. =) The basement has a kitchen and ( Read more... )

Okay, we finally got the word that the closing of our new house is Sept 27, 2004! Matt and I have been staying with my mom and her boyfriend since we moved from our apartment. It's been quite nice, but I'm getting VERY antsy to move into our home and be done with it. Our cat has had to stay in our bedroom because my mom's cat has feline leukemia ( Read more... )

We're still packing and packing, but all is well. We're almost done, and Kyle and Kim have been there for us every step of the way. We just had dinner at their house...it was FABULOUS!! Kim made this beef stroganoff over mashed potatoes with corn on the cob!!! AND pastachio chocolate chip cake! YUMMY!!! (This came in really nicely you know, because ( Read more... )

So we're packing and packing...putting it all in storage, staying at my mom's house until we close on the sale of OUR house September 30, 2004. THEN we get to unload everything from storage and unpack at the new house. Man, I wish we could go from here to the new house without the stop over. So, I'm burried in boxes etc. If anyone reads this thing ( Read more... )

Okay...there's a definite light at the end of my seemingly never-ending string of shitty events. WE FOUND A HOUSE!!! Hopefully, we will close on the sale September 30th, 2004. It's a 2 family in Cranston on a nice and quiet family oriented street, and my mom and her boyfriend will be living downstairs from us. Matt and I have to be out of our ( Read more... )

I was injured on the job last Wednesday (6/30), and I return to work tomorrow. Wow! What a short work week, eh? hehe I actually feel pretty good today. The back is a strange thing, I'll tell you that. Matt was nice enough to massage some Bio-Freeze into my back last night, and I think that was a huge turning point for it. YAY! Well, that and the ( Read more... )

Our landlord has forced our hand in the "buying a house game". He's sold this house that we've lived in for over 6 years, and the new owner wants everyone OUT! Period. We've already gotten our first notice to vacate, and we know that when the sale closes (7/21/04), there will be another. That sucks QUITE a bit ( Read more... )

What's New?1. Matt & I are looking to buy our first home! We're getting a multi-family with my mom, and it looks like we may have found a winner. Well, we haven't even looked inside yet. heh. Hopefully, we'll get the tour Monday. It's great looking...I've got my fingers crossed ( Read more... )

Here I am totally enjoying a day to myself. I love when days turn into that lazy, comfortable, perfectly content feeling that you can just go with. I hurt my back a bit at work on Friday, and then did SOME of the laundry last night. (Three loads of the mountain of it) So my hurtin' back got a workout. Today I was supposed to be at my dad's early in ( Read more... )

I saw George Carlin last night at the PPAC. We bought tickets months ago, and I had been SO excited to go!! I have to say this, though...George had his moments (like his lighter toned, random thoughts or the fart jokes..LOL) that were pretty damn funny. For the most part, however, I have definitely seen him be a HELL of a lot funnier ( Read more... )
