So, since Monday, I have now scrubbed my entire living room carpet...I know...its a bit drastic, but I feel so much better. I am working on my dining room now, and the rest of the house can just wait until we move out and I get a rug doctor. In all honesty I am kind of just wasting my time, I mean, I am giong to get a rug doctor before we move out, and it will just do what I have been working so hard on for 2.5 days in about an hour...but I am baby sitting my cousin's baby this Friday for their anniversary, and I just dont want someone walking in and looking at my carpet. It is so embarrassing. So I am going to continue to waste my time doing it because it makes me feel better!
There is so much that needs to be done in this house. I started the boxing process on Monday, and quickly stopped. I decided that I needed to get everything clean first, that way it will be easier to organize the boxes. One thing I have learned after moving so much is not to tape up the boxes until the end. It never fails, we always end up with about 3 boxes of miscellaneous objects because I come across a item in which its "family" has already been boxed and taped up. Anyway, the house should be cleaned by today or tomorrow, and I will start boxing on Saturday. Target said that if I call before 8 on Saturday they will set aside some boxes for me...sure beats going to Wal-mart at 3 am!!!
After I took Logan to school yesterday, I went to get my hair cut. I have been wanting a change for a while, but wasn't really sure what to do with it. I have medium, curly/wavy hair, and A LOT of it...so I can't really wear it short because it just goes every where and I look like Bozo...or, I have to straighten it every day...and I just dont have the time or patience for that. Vanessa suggested highlighting it...but again, I dont have the time or patience for the upkeep of something like that. I usually just cut my own hair...I only actually get to enjoy the pleasure of someone else cutting it about once a year...So, I definitely wouldn't be able to go every 6 -8 weeks to get my roots done! Anyway, I ended up getting a little over 6 inches cut off, and some long layers cut all the way around. The front is framed around my face, and actually I wouldn't have mind going a little shorter all the way around and maybe doing some side sweep long bangs...but I like my hair, and if I want to go a little shorter later on I can! I can probably only afford to go about an inch shorter than what I have, otherwise I will get the Bozo look...plus it is imperative that my hair fit in a ponytail!
They installed the carpet yesterday at the new house, and JR spoke to the sales associate and the contractor who both reassured him that the house would be ready for the appraisal on Friday. The closet door should arrive today or tomorrow, touch- ups will be going on today and tomorrow, and appliances arrive on Friday! They put up the fence in the back yard, they got the front door and the garage door painted and all the exterior touch ups finished. They still haven't put on the one shutter...but it should be done by Friday. They put up the mirrors in the bathrooms and this morning the cleaning crew came in to clean the entire house. Basically all that is left is the interior paint touch ups, fixing the closet door, getting the shutter up, and installing the appliances. Of course, I just want it ready for the appraisal (which is Friday), then any other little things can be done between then and closing day! Until then...I have TONS to do here at this house in order to get ready for the move. I can't believe it is less than 3 weeks away!! Ahhh - Can't wait to be a homeowner.
I have paid my $1500 dollars (a week ago) on those pesky speeding tickets from waaaayy back in 2001, and am waiting for them to go through the system (2 weeks or more) So next week I should be able to go get my drivers license. I have decided to take care of changing my last name, so I have to make a trip to the social security office first. Also, if your license has been expired for two years or more you have to re-take the test...YAY! JR says I should by the book to go through before I take the test...just in case. I would hate to fail that thing..LOL! So, at least I will have a new license and I am going to go ahead and put my new address on it (even though we haven't closed...)
So, that's the deal! Happy Hump day everyone! I am off to sign Logan up for T-ball!
