Daily: July 2005 Archives

We will be sojourning to the coast to allow the children to dip their toes into the Atlantic Ocean for many days in a row. We shall return to semi-normal journaling in 10 days. Thank you all for the lovely comments. We had a very nice anniversary. I will get to all of your journals as soon as I return. Thank you for visiting.

We were to close the sale of the townhouse on June 27 @ 11am. Then June 27 @ 4pm. Then June 28. Then June 30 @ Noon. After driving nearly 2 hours yesterday and getting almost to the settlement company we get a call that closing had to be changed to 4pm -missing paperwork. We drive home 2 hours. We drive back to Manassas -2 hours. Closing took 15 minutes. We drove home 2 hours. Do you realize how many hours we spent in the car yesterday? 8 HOURS!!!!!! 8 hours in the car = $26 in gas. Driving in the heat - $2.36 for 2 gatorades. The snorting noises the buyers made when they saw how much profit we were making = Priceless!!! BTW the buyer is a professional basketball player. That knocker was no less than 7 feet tall!!! His wife- maybe 5'5". He made me look like a drawf! How will I spend today? I have to brave the grocery store for tomorrows food, pick up a little pool for the tiny children who will be here most of the day Saturday, fill the tanks for the grill and the smoker. Then I have to start cooking to feed 12 people. I am already tired.
