Good morning friends (wish i was saying neighbors). How is everyone? Good news, my landlord sent the fax the apts needed and we get to sign our lease this evening when dh gets home and then i will get the keys tomorrow so our couch (living room furniture) can be delivered . The Hurricane Alex is giving us some much needed rain! OMG, i need to get off here. I need to find some renters insurance today. Wish me luck that i find some cheap! Have a good one ladies!

SO...today we sold our refridgerator and my beautiful bakers rack (no room for it). I am now a firm believer in craigslist. Our living room furniture is complete JUNK...I mean J-U-N-K. Wea re giving it away the day we move, so that should tell you how bad it is. We are getting one that is so pretty. it is a semi-circle sectional. Let me see if I can post the link to show you the whole set. Primo International Sofa - Living Room | ShopAarons.com Instead of the ottoman we are getting the matching coffee table and matching lamps. I have NEVER had a matching living room set so this is exciting. We bought some spray that when we put it on the furniture the cat wont get on it. We tried it out because I was skeptical, and it works like a charm! I could just see her sharpening her nails on the leather. She does that and she is going to find herself with a new family. I love my pets but I had my cat Cuzz for 15 years and he was my baby...this one is a new addition and i have tried not to get attached! We sign our lease tomorrow evening and the actual move date is the 3rd but we will get the keys (and the couch delivered) on the 1st. Have a great night friends. :Yawn:

suzanne- i am proud of how well you are doing. Kudos to you for walking that much!

Angela-someone outta smack your dr across the face. :ohmy: That IS highway robbery!

Kat-I am so sorry about your friends son! I will definitely keep them all in my prayers. I am too pooped to pack anymore. Goodnight ya'll :ohmy:

Suzanne....we CAN do this. Lets get our butts in gear! I can already tell i am using 'moving' as an excuse to eat JUNK. That is not acceptable. We can kick each others booty, ok?

Thank you Angela! YAY, the storm is not coming here...great news so far! Suzanne-did your friend apologize for him? Kat-I did not thank you the other day for telling angela nice stuff about me. You are a sweetheart! Michelle-still no news from your boss? Have a great rest of the day everyone. We are packing some today. Tomorrow i get the 'official' yes on the apartment so I am stalling transfering anything over until i get the thumbs up. We still need to pack.

Kat-we think too much alike...that is exactly what i was going to do. I know it will REALLY be easy to do that once school is back in and everyone is working....then it will be TRACYS pool :smile: OH, and there is a little fitness center. NO excuses now~

Thank you everyone :smile: Good morning! Wow, I posted some stuff on craigslist and those folks are crazy! I should have started prices out at way more than i wanted that way when they try to talk me down they will feel like they won! lol Suzanne-I have a 4 year old little girls party to go to today. At a park, in this heat!?!?! but, I promised we would go...me & my big mouth~! I did not say how long we would stay though! :bolt: I need to get my butt up and moving. We have alot to do. I want to get the heck out of here ASAP....the longer we are here, the more the light bill will be! :thumbup: (not to mention I am excited to have a pool) I would have been embarassed to go to a public pool being this big but now...i learned life is too short PLUS next year they can say "hey, wasn't that the fat lady that was here last year?" :frown: Have a great day ladies!!

omg angela did you see the path of the tropical depression? Sweet Lord in heaven above....

Its all good...i did not even notice. Thank you. You will be coming over for margaritas, yes? :smile:

We are selling it for 120.00. We have only had it 3 months...not 6. It is a regular push mower with one pull start, no priming or anything (I am typing what dh says). If you need to know what size motor he can go look. All I know is it is red, :smile:

Seems like lately all i do is talk about myself, but here i go again....lol (sorry) Our main concern was how will we pay rent for July here AND have money for deposits & rent somewhere else....well guess what?! The very first place I had on the list to visit (because I was in love with it) had a special going on, NO RENT FOR JULY!!!! :woot: So we can take our time packing. We are on the first floor (would not have it any other way) but the one we are getting is also pool view :smile: It is 2 bedroom, already has a washer & dryer so we are selling ours. We also have to sell our fridge and lawnmower (that is only 6 months old). Angela? You need a fridge or a lawnmower? and a washer ? If not can you ask around? I just posted the stuff on craigslist, so we will see what happens. I can not believe we are moving again. This time I will PURGE.....i am getting rid of so much stuff it aint funny. I have a queen sized firm memory foam mattress that i am selling too. I am dealing with the 4 letter word again P-A-C-K. Maybe if we sell all this stuff we can hire our movers again. Pretty sad when you know your mover by first name and he is programmed into my cell phone! :lol2: Kat-sorry ya'll got stuck with all that yard work! That sucks! Michelle-when does you DD toy story stuff come in? What did your order? I am so glad that you have some relief from your band. Just be very careful Terri-I am so excited for your surgery !! :thumbup: Angela-do you need any of the stuff I mentioned? Maybe even for your new place? Suzanne-i know what u mean about this heat. It rained here today and it just made it STEAMY! :bolt: Jennifer....:tt2: Cindy-whats up teacher? :frown: To everyone else i am missing....WHASSUP? I gotta run and start throwing some stuff away! Let me try to put the lin for my new apts on here... http://www.deerglenapts.com/DeerGlen/Index.aspx

Quick drive by post.... Good news other than Kat being back :bored: Our landlord said to pay July and we can be let out of the lease. SO, we are going apartment hunting and we have seen some good deals. Will let you all know how it goes. Have a great day!

DH is on the phone with the landlord now...:bored:

I told Angela this and now I will tell ya'll....we are going to HAVE to move yet again. You already knew about how the landlord was kind enough to lower our rent for us but now....i just got a four hundred dollar light bill. $ 4 0 0. I know for some of you it may not sound like much BUT...it is for half of may and half of june...HELLO....can you imagine what it wille be July, August, September , Ocotber. I do not even want to think about it! It is gonna be more than my husbands truck note! Soooo, here we go again. We can not seem to catch a break, I swear. I know one thing I am NOT going to do...I am not gonna worry about finding a 3 br to accomodate the stepkids for 'just in case' they decide to come over. We are getting a 2 bedroom apartment. We will not have a water bill or gas bill, the rent will be cheaper and so will the light bill. All around it is the best option. Now the big worry is our landlord. Will he be gracious enought to let us out of our lease? He was kind to do it before when he lowered our rent but...I just dont know. Tomorrow dh is off and we have a day FULL of apartment hunting (for something just right with a no/low deposit). That is my story.... :bored: Hi Terri!

:thumbup: HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUZANNE!!!! She didn't say when she would be back did she? I hope she is OK. OK, I hear a pillow & blanket calling me. :eek:

Had a great time meeting and talking to Angela! Anglea, I promise next time we get together you will get to talk MORE! I am a motor mouth and Macy is too, so I feel like you hardly got a word in edgewise. Macy prob picked every flower starbucks had and wanted to sell them to the drive thru customers. lol :thumbup: You know, I said I would post a pic and all I can say is OMG....this pic really shows the truth about what I weigh. The ONLY reason I am posting it is because this weight wont be like this tomorrow, next week, next month. So, now it is considered a before pic. Jenn & Kat may wanna sit down before you see it....OK, here goes (and of course Angela looks fantastic) Oh how I wish all of you could have been there. Suzanne, when you come this way...we will get together ok? Maybe by then I will have lost 20 pounds or so?! I will make it my mini goal. Thank you all for being my friends. I really mean that. Angela-we have to do it again soon. And gee, thanks alot for the perfume idea for macy. She just made a water bottle full of flower water perfume PS, macy was the photographer...not too bad for a 6 year old!

Hi ya'll...about to get dressed and bring Macy to the library. Have a great day everyone! Michelle-glad that Cindys tip helped you!! Congrats on the loss :thumbup:

ME TOO!!! We will post a pic (if that is ok with you). I am gonna see if I can get my friend to watch Macy...but either way, i will be there! I need to go look at their website (Starbucks) and see what I can drink there that is good but wont totally screw me in calories! Any ideas anyone?

Suzie....the 2nd pic...the bruise looks like an angel :biggrin: (just like you)

Thanks! I read it off and on. I am like you though, some makes sense and some doesn't. Alot of what she is saying I can just say bullsh*it and forget it by the time I get to the fridge. lol I do like the way she writes and thinks. I guess applying it is the hard part! whodathunkit?! :smile2:

5:30 is great! I am excited too :smile2: Thanks...I am glad i am still going in the right direction. I have a long road ahead but it isn't like i havent done it before. I am going to celebrate the small victories.

Angela-tomorrow? Works for me. Tell me when :smile2:

Angela-i can meet @ starbucks Thursday. What time would you like to meet up?
