I really didn't want to work the Taste of Home show last night. Not nary in the least. Damon had a personal day yesterday, so I didn't make my 3:30pm start time. Exhausted from a full day of work, I arrived a skosh before 6 and was made an onstage helper.What's that? I, along with two other ladies, got to help the home economist onstage! We brought clean plates in, took away the dirties, put food away -- basically things I don't do in my own kitchen -- in front of 800 people! "You'll be a ...
Breaking the lease and housebuying timeline, updated
I'm not a basketball guru by any means, but I'm told that I'm really NOT out of the NCAA pool since Kentucky lost. Apparently a lot of people picked Kentucky to do well, and basically everyone's brackets are screwed.Today is going to be a LONG day. LOOOONG day.

SOooo...some birds managed to enter the attic through the vent ...

Today's going to be a long'un though, because tonight MomJohnandI are going to see the taping of WWE SmackDown! in Atlantic City. I don't expect to get home until 1ish. But it'll be fun. But a tiring day.Things w/the house just got a bit more complicated. I mentioned that the the contract is in Attorney Review. Well, yesterday was the first day and ...
House timeline
Feeling MUCH better this evening. The pains faded away and my tummy is much improved. The fever that I had is now gone. Ahhh.... I spent most of the day lying down or snuggled in my napchair, and I think I'm much improved because of it. We received the signed contracts last night from the house sellers. So for those who are just joining us, let's go over the LadyGypsy timeline for buying a home.1) Spend five years saving very little toward a down payment, but take lots of fun vacations, buy cool ...
