Signed the mortgage today, and the line of credit.  So starting in a few weeks, I’m going to start owing the bank a lot of money.  Thankfully, I’m not going to have to pay it off all at once.    Went with a variable mortgage (it’s about 2% right now), weekly payments, over an [...]

The boxes that is.  I really have to pack, clean, & purge the storage closet because it’s getting very annoying to have to climb over boxes to get to the kitchen, move a bunch to use the table, try not to knock any over to get to the bathroom…  Again, must finish the storage closet [...]

Obviously it’s my current address showing at the top, and not the new one. My new house is in the grouping of four at the right, the furthest one in!

Freecycled my textbooks today; okay, not the computer-related or the astronomy, but the physics, chemistry, anthro, sociology, business, etc. all left.  Freecycle is an awesome thing.  Seriously, go to their website, find one in your area, and use it.  It’s awesome.  Everything is free, people get what they need, and you get rid of what [...]

Ok, so I know I’d said that I’d keep up with posting a little better, but you know, a week isn’t too bad.
Michelle & Marisa came down for the weekend.  We had a fun time around the boxes I’d already packed.  The roast we had from Supperworks was amazing!  We also picked up the board [...]
