Well.........

So -- FIVE celebrities have died in the last week! First, Ed McMahon, then Farrah Fawcett (62) and Michael Jackson (50) -- both on the same day -- And then yesterday, Gail Storm (a 50's actress) died, and this morning, Billy Mays (Mr. Oxy Clean guy) (also 50 yrs. old) died. Wow.

Tomorrow is the day that the appraisal of "our house" should be done by. Then it'll take him 2-3 days to write up the report. Then he'll send it to our Mortgage Broker, who will then send it to us. Then we'll write up an addendum to the contract that says all of the things that need to be fixed, plus the new closing date.

Then if the seller signs it, we should be on our way to getting the house. : )

I everything works right, we'll be able to start doing our own fixing of certain house issues as of July 31st.

Then after some major things are taken care of, then we'll start moving stuff in by around August 15th, and be all moved in by the end of August.

That's the plan, at least! We'll see how it all plays out!

I'll continue to keep you posted!

Now I think I'll go make something yummy! I want to make brownies for my sweetie, but I also want to make some coconut cream pie for me! : ) Maybe I'll make both! : )

Have a good day!

What will the Verdict Be???

The appraisal hasn't been done yet, and WON'T be done until the seller signs the addendum saying that they'll fix everything that the appraiser says needs to be fixed.

Will the seller decide -- no way -- we're not gonna sign the addendum?

Or will they sign it?!

We'll soon find out!

Maybe this week.

If they say that they're not going to sign the addendum, then the deal's off.

Stay tuned for the exciting new developments to come! : )

Still No Appraisal Done Yet

This note is basically just for future reference, so I can know what was going on at this time. : )

No appraisal has been done on our house yet -- OH yeah! I just remembered -- Our realtor put a hold on the appraisal to be done because there's some sort of thing that is going to push the "closing date" out to July 31st. So -- our realtor wants the bank (i.e. seller) to "OK" that FIRST, and THEN, the appraisal will be done. So -- I guess we're just waiting on the bank to sign the new "addendum".

After the appraisal is done, then we'll send a note to the bank to tell them that the appraiser said that they need to fix whatever the appraiser says needs fixed.

Then if they sign THAT addendum, then we'll just have to wait for them to fix everything that needs to be fixed.

THEN, I suppose the work will be checked, and then we'll just wait for the closing date, I believe.

I guess that's all for now!

Have a good day!

My Husband's Funny Sayings....

I already posted one of my husband's funny sayings on my Facebook page -- about the car next to us playing loud rap music -- I had said, "Bye-bye rap guy!", and Kyle said, "No! It's BUH buh buh BYE......BUH buh buh BYE!". : )

Last night, we had some fish (with bones in it), and as he was picking out the bones, he said, "This is probably where the saying, "BONE" appetite came from!" : )

Today, as we were driving around, he saw the sign, "DOUBLE Fine for Speeding", and he said, "That doesn't mean that it's DOUBLE-y O.K. to speed!". : )

He's on a ROLL!!!!!!!! : )

Howdy!

So -- let's see.........

It's been a week since we paid the money for an appraiser to appraise our house. Maybe it's taking him or her so long since there are so many things wrong with the house!! Maybe they had to camp-out there all week, and they'll be writing up the report this weekend!

After the appraisal is done, we'll turn in the list of items to be fixed to the bank, who will have to fix them before we can have the house. And after that, there are only a few more things to do before we can seal the deal!

For now, we're just sitting here twiddling our thumbs -- waiting for the next thing to be done!

I might be getting a job through Kelly Services. I should find out Monday if the company will want me to go work for them or not. I'll keep you posted on that! If I DO get the job, it might be a few weeks before I actually get back on here to tell you about it, since I'll be so busy working!

Have a good day!
