Christmas Countdown - 2010

[judesmama]

Just a bit of advice...same situation happened to me a few years back...when the house hit the market, there were 3 offers right away...ours was the asking price....but the bank said since there was so much interest in the house, they wanted everyone to make one final offer. Well, we went over the asking price by about 20,000 (because it was such a great deal) only to have someone go 40,000 over the asking price. So, if you really want it, make sure you give exactly what you can afford.

Holy cow, 40k over!!!
We did follow your advice and went 20k over the asking price! I feel like we're giving it our best shot. We didn't want to have any regrets if we went in too low.. and 20k over is still below our budget and a great deal!

Good Morning everyone!

I will be busy this morning. My landlord will be here to fix some wires in the attic that squirrels chewed through. Kind of scary since they could have started a fire. Then my grandchildren will be over later today.

I hope everyone has a great day today!

HA HA I can so relate. I just recently purchased and got in the mail today Christmas Jars Reunion and I got my daughter Penny's Christmas Jar Miracle. I can't wait to get started reading. Have you read the first book Christmas Jars by Jason Wright? If not I highly recommend it to everyone you won't be disappointed!!!

I have not heard of those books. I might have to look into that!

Do you have any idea who did this to your son?

no, but it would have to be a member of the YMCA (controlled entrance)and they are checking to see who was in at the same time as he was.
I doubt we will ever know.

Good luck! I hope all goes well.

Friends, it was a joyous day! Got alot done outside and while I was out, my wife surprised me with cooking my favorite supper. I had no idea until about 6 when she come out and said suppers ready. After telling her I will be in when it's dark, she got a look on her face like "you better get inside this house and eat before I hit you in the head with that rake". I did! Boy, was I surprised. She is the most greatest (which means there ain't none better!)

Glad your day went well and was followed up by a yummy dinner!

Glad to hear that you found the wires before they caused any problems. Have fun babysitting!!!!!

It is going to be a rainy day here today with a chance of snow showers later today. I don't have much planned for today besides doing some more laundry. I hope everyone has a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DID SOMEONE SAY COFFEE?.....

For shame! You would think that someone so good at writing operas could spell better.
It's "cough-ee", not "coffee", O' caffinated mystery twin of mine.

Good Morning, Friends, Twins, Camels and everyone else!

It's beautiful outside!
Birds are singing, dogs are barking, children are screaming, cough-ee is spilling and all is right with the world.

OK, the count, as we stand at the threshhold of yet another milestone:
Days to the Season: 233
Days to Christmas Day:275
That's right! Tomorrow. Milestone # 5. The 1/4 mark to Christmas Day.
Be there or be square.

We stand at 51 degrees currently here in Raleigh under thin clouds which are letting most of the sun through.
Should be clear today but we might get some rain tonight and tomorrow.

Have a Thrilling Thursday, Everyone.
Remember - tomorrow is not only the 1/4 Christmas Day mark, it's also Weekend Eve!

Yo Christmas friends....trackrebel is back.....our phone-line post was destroyed by a storm we had a few weeks ago and it was repaired last Sunday....that´s why I couldn´t really be online. Hope all is fine and everyone is doing alright.

Welcome back Track! We miss ya!

Welcome back, track!

So apparently this house we LOVE has 2 other offers - and the offers are going straight to the bank because the owners are facing foreclosure (and I guess dealing with banks can be a REAL PAIN!!!!!) Anyway, the price is so low that I think we'll offer 10k over the asking price and hope the bank chooses us. I am praying and praying!!! This house really really is just what we are looking for... I hope we can get it!!!

Oh my gosh, best of luck! I will continue to keep my fingers crossed...keep us updated!

Hey guys!
Checkin in...had a good day yesterday but this morning I was feeling lousy again! Went to work came home rested for awhile and feeling better now. Must have a touch of the flu or something, headache, achy, tired. Ugh! Forgot to mention yesterday that on Monday they had the tryouts for the school play and my daughter got a part! She is at rehearsal for another 15 minutes and then I will buzz and get her. I will go and watch the play on Friday (prayin to God I am feeling much better by then). In the meantime our weather is warming up and I am itchin' to do some yard work!

I hope you get some rest and feel better soon Annette! Congrats to your daughter, that is great!

Goodmorning everyone! Its another sunny day here which always puts a smile on my face cheesy plus its pay day for me! Yes and its the 25th..meaning its only 4 months until Christmas in July and 9 months until Christmas woo hoo! I have a very busy next few weekends. This weekend we will be doing lots of Easter baking and also buying our new kitchen floor..hopefully getting a new shed too. Next weekend is Easter, the following weekend is my Dad's Birthday and then my son Dylans Baptism. Then we are only 2 weeks away from leaving for Florida for the week! Lots to look forward to. I hope everyone has a wonderful Thursday!
