Neglecting my blogging duties

I think about posting to my blog a lot....but follow-through is another thing. It couldn't be that my list of thing to do is longer than The Oddessy or anything. Or that I think "well, that would be a good thing to write about....but it will need pictures....meh....". Or especially that I think there is no way I could write anything that anyone would be remotely interested in. Nope....those wouldn't be reasons at all.....

So, this is a very important week. It is the Week of the New House. On Monday I met with my real estate guy and we completed and signed my contract offer (this followed the freak-out I had last week that said house would be sold out from under me while said real estate guy was out of town). So now I sit and wait (not patiently) for the seller to come back with an acceptance or counter offer of my offer (we're pulling for the acceptance here people).

Yesterday I spent my entire day lining up a new lender (the one I was going to go with didn't meet all the requirements) and making sure I was crossing t's and dotting i's with the Housing Fund, with whom absolute acceptance is necessary. And again with the waiting.

I am pretty sure this is going to happen. And then I will become a homeowner. How scary is THAT?! But it's going to be so cool. I've been decorating and upgrading this house in my head for a week now ("Hello, Home Depot! I am your new best friend!"). And, since ground has not even been broken yet, I have plenty of time to plan and pack and save up some more money. Cause I hate to be rushed.

In other news.....I am going to a single's mixer this Friday (all a part of that "getting out more" plan). I will, of course, be very nervous since my social skills suck. But, as my mom always says, "Just go. You might meet someone." Well....I certainly won't if I don't go. So here's hoping that I can think of something to say!

Ok, I will leave you with a composite drawing of my (hopefully) future home:It's so PRETTY!!!!
