Just Random Stuff
I have a visitor, he is a Mocking bird. I see him everyday. Now, he could be a she, but I can't tell, they look the same you know. Sometimes you can here it through the flew in the fireplace. He sits up there making some calls. I know that a pair have been around for at least 2 years. They are interesting birds to watch and listen to.
There is nothing like having a stranger come to your house to help you realize just how nasty your house is. Not dirty nasty, but cluttered nasty. Just stuff everywhere. I am actually looking forward to getting most of the stuff out of this house. It is such a nice house and we have managed to make it ugly. There is a plan, albeit a bit scattered but still there. I am going to order the P.O.D.S. this morning.
We sold our old grey Plymouth Voyager. WOO HOO!! Well, mostly we have. Because I am a poor records keeper, I can't find the title and you have to have that to transfer it. The couple called Tuesday night and the lady is nice, likes to talk. They came yesterday and looked at it and drove it and then said they would take it. We have to wait on the title though. That sucks, for both of us.
No school today and tomorrow. I have promised and plan on taking the kids to see "Series of Unfortunate Events". Katey has read all the books and the rest of us listened to some on tape, interesting. We are going to Subway too. Just a day out for fun with the kids. They will have earned it by the time it is time to go, though. I have some things to get done and they get to help - HA!
Back to house stuff. We went the other day, Monday, to pick out appliances for out new house. I am almost embarrassed at what we got. It is some really nice stuff, all stainless. But we entertain a lot so that was our excuse. I am pretty excited, just tired of the process. We have the month of March to get this house ready and then we are going to try and sell it ourselves come the 11th of April. We are going to visit a friend in Massachusetts the first week in April and we will wait til we come back. I reckon we will use the money from the van sale toward fixing and selling this house. What I find funny is that all the books I have read ultimately say we can't do it, to expect it to take a really long time, and then we will give up and list it with a realtor. I don't think so. I really believe we can do this. Once we get things in order it will be a very desirable house for someone.
Okay, I have rambled on enough with my random stuff.
