Big day today!

Well, let's see... what did I do today. I got up, took the train to work, went to lunch with friends (greek food - I love gyros!), left work early, and SIGNED OUR LIFE AWAY! Just kidding - well, sorta - we signed ESCROW PAPERS!
We signed a little early b/c we have a million other things to do to get ready for the move. It wasn't what I was expecting. I'm thinking - this third party is in charge of getting all the money, all the documents, all the signatures, etc so they should have a nice office, professional staff, free water, etc. Nope! The girl at the front, and I do mean girl, was wearing a t-shirt and jeans. The woman who walked us through all the paperwork was also wearing jeans, but less on top - a spagetti strap tank top that showed off her not exactly real, shall we say, assets. When I asked if I could go to the restroom she said "do you want to go to the potty?" Who calls it that? Maybe she has kids and that's what she's used to but it threw me off guard. And the restroom, while we're on that subject, smelled like powder. In the general scheme of things this is a good smell, but it clogged up my nose and made me feel like I was suffocating. You know that feelings? Well, I do and I hate it.

Anyway, all in all it went well. Our sellers paid for all the closing costs so all we had to pay was our down payment so that's always nice. Now, we just have to wait another 10 days till we can get the keys. We've got a lot of stuff to do. We've packed 2 large boxes and three small ones. We're on the way - but I'm not in a hurry. Things will get done.

We've started to pick out paint colors for the master bedroom. For now that's all we'll be painting and only b/c the furniture is really heavy so it'd be easier to paint before we get it all in there. We'll also probably be putting at least primer over the hot pink and hot blue walls in the 2 other bedrooms. Even I have a hard time staying in there for long.

So, so far so good. Not a whole lot else going on - this kinda takes up all your time and thought processes. I'm trying to convince Eric to have a housewarming. He's still not on board but in the next few months maybe I can work on him.

Time for bed - today was a big day and I need my beauty rest. Adios amigos.
