Chores

So... over the weekend I did the chore that I hate to do the most. Wash, dry and sort socks. I hate it. We have way too many socks... so many I believe I talked about it in a previous blog.

Point being it's a stupid nuisance chore that I hate doing, for no other reason than I hate it. What is a stupid chore that you hate doing. One that isn't necessarily hard to do, but somehow gets under your skin?

But.. hatred of sorting socks aside: the place is getting there. We are T minus 3 days from our first INSPECTION. That's right: we (already) have a conditional offer of the house. "But JayCat.... since I am an astute reader of your blog, I know that you weren't showing until Thursday... WTF?" Yes, dear reader. You would be right. We got an offer on the place... site unseen. Supposedly they know the floorplan, they like it and want to get it before a multiple offer situation comes on the market. Which means we countered with anoffer over our asking... and... they took it.

So... yeah... we have to go forward assuming that they will somehow back out, and that we will havet o go ahead with the open houses... but this thing may be bought and sold already.

woot for us!

(note: we had our inspection today... went AWESOME!"

that kicks some serious realty butt! congratz on the offer, and i hope it goes well. i am totally on the same page with the socks. also on the list...cleaning up / organizing my work area, and cleanig out the car. none of these tasks are difficult or really take all that long (especially if done on a regular basis), but i still hate them! p.s. do you northern folk celebrate memorial day?

Most people live in cookie cutter neighborhoods so they could have seen 'your' house somewhere else. That's what happened with us when we were shopping for a house. We knew where we wanted to go, noticed there was like half a dozen styles in the area and saw them all. Decided which one we liked best and went after those ones, our walkthroughs were mostly just to inspect for damage and what not, not to see if we liked the layout or whatever.
