My Son's Wedding Gets Closer By The Day!

I talked to Christopher yesterday and he is so calm about his upcoming nupital. I might be more nervous than him but I have to fly there so that may be the main reason for me. I know it's going to be a fabulous wedding because they have spent the last year preparing for it! Their last minute things... Sign in to see full entry.

What A Day For Tragedies in Canada & The U. S.

I have been rattled by the plane crash in San Francisco today! When I heard it crashed upon landing I felt it was pilot error. And, it seems to be that way, too! My prayers go out to the families who lost loved one as well as those who were injured. A horrific tragedy. But, earlier this morning I... Sign in to see full entry.

My Greatest Pet Peeve Will Be Over In September! I Can't Wait!

I detest having a balance on my credit cards. Since I am currently renting the home I hope to buy at no cost I have been able to pay off credit cards. As soon as I got them to zero balance I had to start using them again. The cost for the wedding is the reason they are going up again. And, since I... Sign in to see full entry.

I Can't Say Things Are Getting Better, But They Are Not Getting Worse!

Idaho Housing Commission will not grant me a lock for the interest because the seller's bank will not produce the approval letter. But, I did learn that I have more cushion than I originally thought. I can wait the damn bank out now!!! Also, it gives me more time to decide what to do with my... Sign in to see full entry.

The Seller's Bank Is Just Impossible At Every Turn These Days!

Today I leaned that the previous negotiator has been terminated and another one, the fifth, has been assigned to the short sale! Man alive they boggle my mind. I received an e-mail from my Agent that has to be notarized! In short it says that I do not have any affiliation with the bank through... Sign in to see full entry.

I Am Living The Proverbial 'Rock And A Hard Spot', So Disappointing!

I called the Idaho Realty Commission this morning to see if they could help me. I wasn't surprised when they said they couldn't because they are not an enforcement entity! The only thing that can be done is for my Agent to put pressure on the seller's agent to then put pressure on the bank. Well,... Sign in to see full entry.

My Goodness The End Of The Month Is Nigh And July Heat Is On It's Way- 107F

Yesterday I decided to empty most pf my storage unit and move everything to the house I am renting but hoping to purchase! It was a long day and several truck loads. I am very fortunate because my brother has access to a big truck from his work! I didn't have to pay to use either! A huge savings for... Sign in to see full entry.

You Can't Make This Stuff Up! I Am Being Very Serious, Too!

I called the seller's agent a while back and told him that someone had been in my house (I am calling it my house now since I am renting it) and he said it was impossible because no one had a key. He then said he would contact the bank to inquire. Of course as is with these agents I am dealing with... Sign in to see full entry.

I Met With The Flooring Company Today! Saved 25% On The Final Cost!

It was a hectic day but it ended rather nicely! It took 4 phone calls and 20 minutes to get the flooring person on the phone to set an appointment. In the meanwhile there were errands to run and every one of them took an inordinate amount of time. My brother and I finally got to the flooring place... Sign in to see full entry.

The House Is Looking Better, But There's still Work To Be Done!

It seems the cleaning never ends! I am down to the ceiling in the living and dining rooms. It is labor intensive! I know that from this time forward I will have a schedule to clean the house top to bottom which I like to do that at least twice per year. It will not be done all at once though! I...
