  1. Closing successful!

    I realize that I haven’t done a real update since I mentioned the closing and all, so here’s some quick information for you all.
    Closing went really well; it was pretty short, too. It was about 45 minutes and we were done! We signed a number of papers, although not nearly as many as I’d have [...]

  4. Quick house thoughts

    So, I look at the post before this one, with house pictures (that are a month old, even), and I know for a fact that we’re closing at 4:30pm on Tuesday, July 27th, 2004, and yet, it just doesn’t seem real yet. It’s a unique prospect to me, to be a homeowner. I mean – [...]

  5. First Home Pictures!

    Okay, I’ve been a real slacker. I’ve had these photos for literally a month, but just haven’t posted them yet. However, Lisa made a request, and so here you go. These are just the outside, but that’s okay. I’d feel kind of funny posting pictures from the inside (of which I have none at this [...]

    Fans of Martha Stewart request presidential pardon – Jul. 16, 2004

    Fox Networks Group to Launch Fox Reality Channel in Early 2005
    Warning if you’re approaching this post more than a month after initial posting – Yahoo has burned me in the past, so the link may have rotted by then. Here’s a quick quote from the top of the article, which basically sums up the channel.

  11. Two weeks and counting

    The title of this post is a bit misleading – tomorrow marks two weeks until we close on our house. That’s very exciting. However, we won’t be getting our keys until roughly five days later, meaning that today marks three weeks until we commence actually moving into our house.
    Overall, the past eleven days (man, I’ve [...]

  13. Reflections

    So, I’m home a little early today, as I needed to come and meet with our landlady to do the 30 day notice thing. We’re not stuck in a lease, fortunately, so it’s just a matter of notice, which has been taken care of. We also have as much time as we need to move [...]
