And of course something always goes wrong…

Yep, story of my life.  Only a minor delay (hopefully) of two weeks.  Our closing has been pushed back to the 12th of August due to title issues.  Nothing major, but it’s going to delay things.  So, we’re going to have a few weeks between homes.  Fortunately, we can stay with Brian’s family, but there is no room for four cats in a house that already has two.  So, we will be boarding them.  Brian found a great little place that just boards cats (no barking dogs to stress them) in giant kitty condos, not little cages.  Two cats to a condo, with playtimes, fishtanks, and tvs to watch.

Kitty Condos

Think they’ll be comfy?  I sure hope so.  We’re going to put Karma and Shiva in one, and Alley Cat and Ozzy in another.  That seems to be the best division, since the girls really don’t get along, and Karma really doesn’t like Ozzy all that much.  She does like Shiva, though, so they should be happy in there together.  I’ll take pictures when we get them settled and post them here. :)

Monday Happy List

Yay! It’s Monday!  That means it’s time for another Happy List. :)

Here, in no particular order, are five things that make me happy.

  1. We close on our house on the 29th.  Yay!
  2. Packing nearing completion.
  3. A clean kitchen
  4. Doggies who are good boys and listen to me when I tell them to stop barking at every damn thing that walks past. ;)
  5. Fajitas for dinner.  Yum.

There you have it… five things that are currently making me quite happy.  More updates to come, and possibly… knitting!  We shall see.   I have buried myself in housework and reading and have been ignoring my computer AND my knitting for the past few weeks.  Maybe I’ll get a chance to get some knitting done this week, since I’ll be spending some time at my LYS.

I’ll try to update tomorrow afternoon.  Really. :)

Waiting to move.

I hate waiting.  I swear, I am the most impatient person I know.  Right up until the moment the decision gets made, I’m fine.  Once the decision is made, I want action.  Now.  Quickly.

Unfortunately, we don’t close on the house until the 29th, and can’t move in until August 2nd, so I have to wait.  I’m not good at this.  Brian will be heading out this weekend to start his new job, and I’m going to be staying here until the end of the month to finish packing and cleaning.  The majority of our stuff is already moved and in storage, so it shouldn’t be too difficult.

We finally got the chance to look at the house on Sunday (yes, we made an offer on a house we’d never seen), and I really like it.  It’s not big, but it’s cute, and well laid out.  Plenty of room for cats and dogs, with a big backyard for the dogs to play.  There is privacy fencing and a covered patio… I can see lots of barbeques and relaxing outside.  I didn’t take any pictures, as it’s still occupied and I didn’t want to be rude, but he’re a few from the listing.

Outside

This is the front from the street… all of the sunflowers are a bit overgrown, and I’m going to pull them out and probably put roses there.  Or a tree.  I’m trying to talk Brian into a weeping willow, but he hates the little tiny leaves.

Kitchen

The kitchen is tiny, but pretty well laid out, with a decent amount of storage.  The laundry room is right through that door, with plenty of room for cat boxes.  Yay!

Covered Patio

This is the cute little covered patio.. I love it out here.  I’m going to add some trellises and wisteria.  I’m really going to enjoy this a lot. :)

Anyway… more pictures when we close, I promise!

The offer…

… has been accepted.

We won’t be able to move in until the middle of next month, but barring any problems with the loan, we have a house.  Of our own. Glee!

*runs in circles screaming madly*

Pictures to come as soon as possible.
