Three weeks since blogging? Sad, just sad. And I’ve got actual news, too.
The big news is that I’m actually buying a house! Assuming the final approval on the loan goes through, but that seems likely. In about a month, I’ll be moving in to new digs, methinks. Well, October 31st is the target date…that will give me about ten days after closing to move stuff in and do something about that horrible 25-year-old carpet. I was looking at going hardwood, but I’m leaning towards new carpet – cheaper, easier to install, etc. A good point was made that if I was planning to live there really long term, wood floors would be a good idea, but since I see this as a “starter” home, perhaps carpeting is the best plan.
Now, what to do with that deck…
And the current job is going well. They love me up there, but who doesn’t love the Dave?
Also, in about a month, I will have news on The Project That Cannot Yet Be Named. I’m very excited about it.
On, I suppose, a bit more somber note, next week will mark three years since Cheryl’s passing. The pain lessens over the years but it never really goes away.
I’ve been dipping my toe into the dating pool again, but that’s another blog post. Let’s just say I can’t believe how many women are sporting nose rings these days. Unless you are of Hindi extraction, I really don’t understand the allure of such adornment. But I’m kind of old school that way.
