12:09 - Monday, Aug. 21, 2006
I don't have enough brains on this Monday to think of a title.
I am sooooo bloody tired. It was a busy weekend and late nights. So I had a rough sleep last night. We were in bed early, probably 10 or 11 I forget, but I fell alspee & didn't wake up until 2:30am... and then I tossed and turned the rest of the night, only grabbing a wink or two here & there. Damn I hate that. Monday's suck.
Friday I got off work at 9 & HW picked me up. We got back to his place & finished a bunch of cleaning & preparing for the morning realtor appointment. All while downing a good few beers, which made me not too excited in the morning for the appointment!
The appointment went well though, he was very thourough & said he'd call us on Monday with an estimate. He called HW today & said he could probably list for $88,900.00 so theat could go up or down, but that's pretty good considering he bought it for like 53 or something. He still owes almost that much though as he has borrowed from it a few times.
Then we had our breakfast & did some other stuff & went to the mall to get Cfour some birthday gifts. We got back just in time for our second appointment & he gave us pretty much the same numbers. He looked at my place too & said that we shouldn't have any problems asking $99,000.00 for it. Which is pretty good too, seeing as I paid $49,000 And I think I only owe like $42,000 or so now.
So anyway - CHA-CHING! That's like an $80-90,000 bonus for us towards a down payment on a new house, pay off all of our debts etc. I'm sure it'll be gone faster than we can even blink, but it'll be nice when it's all done.
So now we have to decide asap whether we're going to go through an agent or sell through Com-free or privately. His parents are the bank so it would be a bit easier to sell privately than with mine... but it's still a lot of stress & extra shit I am not sure we are prepared to handle... we have enough on our plates as is... So I dunno... but we're going to Mom's for dinner tonight to discuss it... and hopefully either way we'll have it on the market this week. Yay.
Saturday night was Cfours birthday party. It was great. She probably ended up with 50 people at one time. Good turn out... I hope mine rocks just as much! They rented a porta-potty for like $85 bucks, delivered & picked up so no one would have to go inside the house. We're thinking we might do that too. It was really clean & not gross at all.
Sunday we puttered & got some more shit done, but then decided to go over to C&Dfours again to hang out. It was all good & fun till we got a phone call...
D & Jes had been in an accident. With 8 yr old Justin in the car. Preston (2 yrs) was with his grandparents. A vehicle cut them off and they swerved to avoid it & rolled on the side. Pretty scary stuff. Everyone is okay though, thank God. Pretty shaken up & a bit sore, but nothing serious... phew! Scary. So we went over there once they were home to make sure everyone was fine.
We had some pizza & went home & crashed... that's our weekend.
I have a rant. I think my Mom is on glue. Sorry if you're reading this Mom! I sent out an email last week telling people to "Save the Date" for Sept. 16th for my party. I said in it that an official invite would come out soon, but I wanted people to make sure they were free for the day of my party & see if I could get some idea of a headcount so I know if a keg will work etc. I sent it to G&J in Regina, just incase they happened to be in WInnipeg that date or since they make the tip quite often for his business, maybe they could work it into that day. Anyway, it was no big deal, it's just a party & I haven't sent the official invite out yet, this was just a "save the date" thing, and even so, I wouldn't send the invite out to people in Edmonton who I know wouldn't/couldn't make it because there is really no point, right? Well apparently I am wrong. Mom's all mad or upset or whatever that she didn't get the email. Oh c'mon... how ridiculous! She called all upset with me and I told her she was being silly, but she didn't think so. She compared it to a wedding, "Do you not send invitations to people that you aren't sure will come?" Ummm... this isn't some big occasion like a wedding here.... it's a friggen birthday party... ugh... I just think something is wrong for a person to be offended that they didn't get an email for a birthday party they can't attend anyway!
And people wonder why I don't call all the time... when all I get is that negative crap... no matter what it's about...
Nothing I do is right...
Anyway... sorry... I was just annoyed... I think she knew that when I talked to her... so now I am venting anyway...
Does anyone think a person has any right to get all hurt about this & call me whining about it?
*She and I have already discussed and KNOW that she WONT be coming out for my birthday*
I didn't send one to my friends & other family in Edmonton, are YOU mad at me???
Now I am probably in more shit for writing about this... but whatever, I am always in shit...
Busy week ahead anyway. Mom's tonight, HW has to go to Dad's to help him with some electrical shit tomorrow. Wednesday is Aunty Eve's birthday... I think she's like 94 or something... this'll be fun... haha... Then Thursday we have the couches being picked up. Friday... open so far, but we need to get on this house selling crap, and also start cleaning the yard & emptying the pool... my birthday is only 21 sleeps away (so 25 till the party) so it has to be done... then Saturday we have to help Dad & StepMom move... so this week is SHOT! ARGH! STRESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
Going for lunch now.
Happy Monday to ya...
