Ughhh I feel like a swollen whale. Every morning my fingers are so fat and every night my ankles turn into cankles. It's probably due to my recent love with milkshakes, of course! Although maybe it's due to the beautiful weather we've had?? I woke up this morning at 7am and it was 68 degrees out! Holy McMoly! Absolutely crazy... of course the downside to that is we are in Tornado season, so we have severe t-storms & tornado watch expected tonight. Grr.
We're supposed to be closing on the house tonight, 3:00pm is our appointment -- of course we've had the laziest mortgage lady the past few weeks (or are they all this way??). Instead of calling us to get info, she sends us an e-mail URGING us to call her. Really lady?? We still don't even know our closing costs and uhh we close in like 7 hrs! As of last week our Good Faith Estimate said closings would be around $750 so fingers crossed they don't jump much more!! I splurged and bought us a new TV for Ryan's loft (nothing fancy, just a 32" -- but tv's are expensive!) and we still have rent due this Friday and Next Friday... Next Friday because it'll pay for April, our final month here and let us leave early. Thank Goodness Ryan has been working lots of OT though so we'll be able to catch up before Keaton joins us.
My parents come into town in about 3.5 weeks, yay! I haven't seen them since the day after Christmas. Then 2 weeks after that Ryan's mom comes into town, she's staying with us for 5-6 days and that'll be nice to get the help around the house and hopefully her and Ryan can paint Keaton's room for me. I have so many desires for this house but I know the stuff for Keaton comes first because they'll be the most used... like his crib, the glider chair and his changing table/dresser (where we can store his diapers, wipes, creams, etc). I'm happy he has a walk in closet so we can store extra diapers & wipes there and hang all his clothes up. I want to get a 2nd level of shelves so that when he gets bigger he can reach his own clothes too. No rush, of course.
I do still need to order blinds for the front facing windows -- about $60/window (we have 20 windows total!!) and would like to eventually get a king size mattress in our room... keyword: eventually. Our tax return went to our savings and most of it to the fridge... dang freakin appliances! I'm glad we already had our washer/dryer that we bought last May. Sears is coming to deliver the fridge on Wednesday and I can't wait, it's so pretty. And then Friday DirecTv is coming to deliver the satellite dish and AT&T is mailing us our phone/internet package... we got a really good deal, imo, with them. It's like $95/mo for all 3 plus we get all the premium channels like hbo, sho, etc. and our internet modem is wireless so I don't have to deal with setting everything up again like we did with our cable co. We pay $125 right now w/our cable co... ugh.
