Not in the Christmas mood!
Not like I am in a “BA-HUMBUG” kind of mood but I’m sure I’m not in a motivated mood. It has been two weeks since my last posting about the house and pretty much nothing has changed. Our agent emailed us on Friday and told us that our loan officer thinks she will be able to have us close before the end of the year! That would be great if that would happen the week of New Years because I get that Friday off which means I could paint to my heart’s content.(And force anyone else with time to paint too!)
In the meantime we have been figuring out what furniture we will need and what we can wait on. At this point we hate the mattress that is on my bed right now. I have been waking up,tossing, turning, and having limbs go numb on a nightly basis. Yesterday we meandered around town and looked at beds. We have our minds set on a memory foam bed. BUT not Temperpedic. A lot of the retailers actually had many bad things said about temperpedic. Needless to say they just have great advertising. ANYWAY we found beds from 1200 to 5000 dollars. HOLY COW. That is not cheap! The funny thing is that the one we liked was the cheaper one but still. At this point in time larger funds are going directly to the downpayment. So we will just have to switch to a different mattress that I have when we move in and stash money until we can get it! But if anyone feels generous we need the queen sized “Glideaway” at the Sleep Shop in yakima. (corner of 1st and Walnut) Yeah right!
Back to my Christmas un-motivation. I still hadn’t bought the last few gifts until yesterday when I took my little cousin out to get something for her mom. If we hadn’t have gone I wouldn’t have made it out on my own. Everyone go their gifts though and my little cousin, which is also my goddaughter, got her’s too. Yes, she picked out her own gift and vowed to act surprised when she got it. I just really want this to be over with so we can get the really Christmas present we want, our house. But in the meantime… Merry Christmas!
