One Day til Closing!

There is exactly one day until we close on our house! In fact, it may be 24 hours exactly by the time I post - because the writers cramp (closing) will begin at exactly 9am Monday morning. I can't believe that the day - which seemed to inch across the calendar at way less than a snail's pace (while in my mind I longed for it to be here already!) is finally only one day away!! In fact, we get to actually go into the house for the final walk through today. This is very exciting for us - because before this point we could only do drive by's, staring at the house as if it would change some how. Oh I wonder if the neighbor's think that house stalkers were lurking around their neighborhood when we were doing the drive bys - sometimes even changing vehicles so as to not cause suspicion....or do you think that they were oblivious going on about their day as if it were any normal day (which by the way, for them it would be). But today we get to drive up into the driveway and go inside (well with our realtor). I wonder how long we can stretch this out....hmmmmm.... I realize that our realtor is taking time out of her weekend to "have to go to this walk through" but she is going to get paid after all - so it's probably not that big of a hardship for her.

George Update: It's official - George knows what's afoot - with the moving I mean. He was skeptical when I rearranged our closet. He was concerned when we brought strange boxes into the house. But now since the packing has begun - he knows! And he doesn't like it one bit!! he wants it stopped - he likes our apartment. There's a nice deck and grass is right out the front door - ready to be gobbled up (and later spit out on the carpet!). But George will like his new house. But until then - we have to watch him like a jail guard - because like a prisoner every time we try to make a move - George trys to make a run for it. We don't know where he is trying to go - but as long as his cage isn't involved - he's all for it! Watch for further George updates in upcoming blogs.

Monday after the closing - we are going to be working our fingers to the bone (Work your fingers to the bone and what do you get? bony fingers! Sorry an old country song from my childhood just ran through my head). The carpets are getting steam cleaned, the floors are all getting mopped, the bathroom as all going to be cleaned in preparation for the big move. I know...we had to take a vacation day to do all this cleaning - but at least we know that our house is going to be clean before we move in. In fact, Todd is having the septic tank cleaned out - because as he explained to the grumpy old honey wagon guy - we want to get rid of their sh** and start fresh! He laughed and became more friendly - Todd knows the secret language of the honey wagon man!

Well I gotta go because it's almost time!!!
