[fab-yuh-luhs]

On a not so alcoholic note as the previous post, check out these photos of my sisters and my daughter. I like to use my sisters as guinea pigs when I want to try out new lighting, props or really just anything! I can be a little bossier with them to get them to do stuff as opposed to actual paying customers! The actual pictures look better, I think we need a new scanner.

I need a drink....

Greetings to all who stop by! I haven't posted for awhile because things have been insane & if I didn't have to work everyday I'd probably be drinking.
Ok, we were supposed to be able to close on our house Sept. 15. We had everything planned out- we'd close in the morning, get started gutting the bathroom & removing wallpaper in the rest of the house. Faith would go stay with my parents for the weekend since they had my little sister's volleyball games to go to and couldn't help us out and Matt's parents would be over helping with the redoing of things. Yeaaah. Didn't happen. First we find out that Matt's parents have decided to go visit his sisters (who live about 4 hours away) that weekend. Fine, no big deal. We can still get things started, it'll just go a little slower with less help. Then we find out that we can't close the 15th. The 22nd is the earliest, but how a bout the 25th? I say "hell no!. If it's not the 22nd it had better be the 15th." Of course, my dear husband says "It can't be the 15th." Thank you caption obvious. I know that I was just being pissy. So, I have resigned myself to the fact that we will close on the 22nd. Which is MOST inconveient (sp?).
Why? You ask. Well let me tell you. The 22nd we have a wedding rehersal/dinner to go to. With family from out of state in town that we don't get to see very often. Then saturday, the 23rd Matt's cousin is getting married and Matt is in said wedding.
So what I'm getting at is this:
1) We're already a week behind our plan
2) We may be able to get a little started on friday IF we close early enough in the morning.
3) Saturday is shot to hell.
4) Sunday we probably won't get started until family leaves town around noon.
We have to be out of our apartment by Oct. 17th and between the 22nd and then we have to redo the bathroom, remove a ton of wallpaper & hope the walls are ok to paint and not have to do any other crap to them (oh & did I mention the removal of the wallpaper from the ceillings too?), remove the wood trim in the living room, dining rm and hallway & strip & refinish it, remove carpet from same and refinish the floors. So, yeah a week makes a HUGE difference. I'm going to go get a drink now. Hope my boss doesn't mind.

**UPDATE
1:20 pm So, I hear from our Realtor that the deal is going down at 1:00 pm the 22nd. Um, not quite the time I was hoping for. Hey, is that a blender I hear making strong margaritas...............
