It's ok, just breath. That's it, in...and out...in ...and out. Good.

Don't wory about it, it's just the hormones....

Whew!

I mean, gingham roosters? I'd have to consult my sister.

CP, put the knife away....I threw that catalog out!

*steps back* So we're cool then? As long as we're cool, it's cool. *puts knife back in hidden sheath*

So now we know the real reason librarians insist on perfect quiet. They're just a bit...tense.

(I concur with the housecraft crap, CP- I get ****loads of it, and it all goes in a closet and eventually finds it's way to the Goodwill).

We spent an hour signing papers this morning. Not reading them - just signing them.

On Sunday we have a final inspection. Escrow ends Monday. Yay.

Don't worry about it. Most of those won't hold up in court if they are shady anyway!

Don't worry, you just agreed to hand over your firstborn to your lender as collateral

I hope you guys at least read some of it!

...It really is a monstrous stack of dead trees, isn't it? You shoulda seen it by the time escrow was done making copies for all the concerned parties, holy cow, I think it was 3 inches high!

It took us 3 hours to go through ours (of course, Alex HAS to read every single page...) I was really shocked when you guys were out in an hour (that's why I didn't get to pop by and say goodbye)

In our last place our paperwork included an easment for errant golf balls. Our current place included an aknowledgement that we were in a potential tsunami inundation zone.

Holy crap. Finaly walkthrough yesterday went great. They fixed everything we asked them to and more. So today, it's official. We get the keys this evening.

We're desparately trying not to panic as we come to grips with the fact that we somehow have to simultaneously spend all of our time packing and all of our time prepping the place.

We spent about $4K over the weekend and walked away with nothing but receipts. Highly unsatisfying. But in theory, we own a countertop, a new dishwasher, and a reallyawesome bedroom set. We kinda broke our budget on that one, but we're under budget on the counter, and this set was totally worth it. It's beautiful, buy a good manufacturer (Broyhill) and really good quality (dovetails on the drawers and everything). We got a dresser, a bed w/head and foot boards, and 2 night stands for $1600. Couldn't possibly pass on that.

We're almost packed, sort of. At least, we'd better be because we're running out of places to hide boxes from the bunny.
