I was never tall nor slim.
Steven must be very busy this trip.
Kathy is your husband still away on business, too?
Ken, how is your recovery coming?
I am having lunch with my favorite husband.
No, he's back from China. Drove to LA a couple times this week. China again in March.
The grandson had a cold, so his heart surgery is put off a few weeks. So instead Jeff is spending some time with me.
How far is LA from you?
2 hours w/o traffic. He just has meetings.
We have been so busy with our soccer tournament driving 3-4 hours one way for the last two weekends and again this weekend.
Soccer tryouts 4 days this week and karate tournaments coming up out of town too.

Oh what a bummer. How long will it be pushed out for?
Glad you have time with your man!

Mooooooooooooooooooooooooo0Ooooooooooooooooooooo I'm a cow
i've decided to learn to knit!
It's supposed to be good for my arthritic fingers and mentally soothing because of the focus and repetition. I tried to learn from a book, but it's really confusing. Both my sisters-in-law are super fantastic knitters: the San Diego sister-in-law gets to go on cruises to TEACH knitting as one of the activities! She has to pay the lowest basic fare for herself but her hubby travels FREE!!! They've already been on 2 cruises- one was to Panama but I forget where the other one was...
The other sister-in-law lives the next town over from us and is coming over after work tonight to get me started on the basics!

Any words of wisdom for a stressed out first time home buyer? We've picked the house, done the inspection and now we are awaiting the appraisal which is booked 2 weeks out. I believe we are doing a rehab loan so we can get a new roof put on it right away since the seller wont do it (it was a foreclosure so the bank owns it).
This is all new (stressful) territory for me.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!
He's quite a little chunk already!!!! And he seems very alert... looks like he doesn't like what he sees, though!
So the genetic testing came back? There's a mini-Mike on the loose???
I wish I knew what to tell you. I have bought houses twice and felt super-stressed both times, although the first was worse, so I guess you get used to it. Since it's the BIGGEST single purchase most of us ever make, I think a certain amount of stress fits the situation!
In thinking about it, one of the thoughts that helped be was the idea that the house that is meant for me will come to me and it will come in its time. If there's too many complications or obstacles, then maybe it's meant for someone else.
I know this probably sounds corny, but I found it helpful (and true!)
GOOD LUCK!!!!

Meow I'm a cat
I'm anxiety prone to begin with so I tend to think if I buy a house it is going to fall down around me despite the fact that i can do almost any home improvement on my own. Weird how the mind works.
