Quaint
Posted May 18th 2011 10:10 am
Over the weekend, it has been super busy with all of the house hunting and dealing with Keat's parents. The word of the day had to be "quaint" because that is the only term that we could use to describe some of the houses. One that we saw seemed like it was out of a Dr. Seuss book (literally). After saying "goodbye" to her parents, the sanity could once return to our world.
This comic seems to sum up my list of to-do's around the office. Although I only had 2 days of actual work last week (as seen in my last posting), I frantically spent all of Wednesday cleaning up the apartment. After flying through the place, making sure everything had it's own little home, Keat's parents walk in on Saturday (or Friday? I don't recall - all of those days blurred together), the only comment they could say is "what a crummy place". I'm sorry - we are the ones who live there, and for us, this is clean (you can see the floor and there aren't clothes strewn everywhere [wow, I think that's the first time I've used that word]). For doing a super-fast clean-up from a pseudo-packing task, I say it's pretty good.
All stress aside, we did see one house that we really liked. I won't go much into details yet (so I don't jinx it), but her parents are placing the bids on the house. As I was afraid of, her parents also have a LONG list of "requirements" to be met before anything can proceed (with us, not the house). I won't go into that because that could be another blog entry on its own.
Now, we're back to work, nearly a week after I made the last posting. A lot of work and so little time.
Edit: Little side note, but Keat finally graduated from HCC on Thursday! I didn't mean to overshadow this with the parent visit, but I wanted to let the world know!
