It's Friday, must be time for another post.

(Seriously, look back at my pattern over the last few weeks.)

I've been spending a lot more time over at Twitter and facebook these days, but that's the way it goes.

Let's see.  We've dropped our contract on the old house. (The status of which is dubious in the MLS.)  We put a contract on a fixer-upper, and we've had it accepted.  We were also approved for a rehab loan, so now we get to do building-lite.  We need to pick out paint, flooring, appliances, and heat pump.  We also have to pick out all of the people to do that.  And all on a budget.  This house is freaking huge.  I'm not as thrilled with the location, but it's a good location for what it is.  (Does that make sense?  It's not downtown like I wanted, but it's still a good place.)

There are four bedrooms, so each girl will get their own.  The last bedroom will be a guest room.  The former two-car garage is a one-car garage and the area they made a room will be the playroom.  I'm kinda excited about having just one room for all of the junk.  There's also another room that I'm planning to use as an arts and crafts room for both me and the girls.  The backyard is half-fenced, so I'm expecting to finish that after we sell our house.  (The rehab loan won't cover it.)

Now I'm working on everything that goes with buying a house.  Setting up appointments, packing, cleaning, procrastinating... heavy on that last one.

On the plus side, we should be in the house in time for Adia to start school in September!  She's excited, I'm excited, it's all good all around.

I adopted a cat back in March, did I ever mention that?  Her name is Sparkles and she's a Siamese mix.  Heavy on the "mix" side of things, I think, but she's a fabulous cat.
