busy bee

yesterday was a very busy and nerve racking day. it all started with an office meeting at 8:30 in which we all sat and talked about what we have done so far this year and what we want to accomplish, how we are going to do it, blah, blah, blah. thankfully the meeting only lasted about 45 minutes since i had several phone messages to return before my first appointment showed up in the office. right on time, at 10:30 he showed up; my adorable client/realtor eric! we went through tons of paperwork, punched a zillion numbers into a calculator and finally came up with an asking price for my house! eric agreed to meet me this sunday to see a couple of model homes in the mountain's edge community, it seems that i must find a home and sign a purchase agreement pretty quickly if i want a brand new house, which i do.

there is something very exciting about being the first person to: hammer a nail into a wall, use the shower, lie on the floor, cook on a stove. i can't quite put my finger on it but i do remember the feeling i got back in october 1996 when i moved into my current home.

so i have decided to have everything i want in my new home, mainly my dream kitchen. for so long i have wanted a stove top and a built in double oven. i can only hope that this will be an option, although i am sure that just about anything is possible at a price. what the hell, i am a single woman on a mission; i'm just not sure what all the mission entails!

after work, i stopped off at the hospital to see my girlfriend who had just had surgery. i had been saying prayers for days that she would pull through and she did...with flying colors. she was pretty out of it when i got there but she did open her eyes long enough to see me holding a springtime bouquet. her smile was worth a million...i love you mel.

got home to find that there was already a lockbox, the century 21 sign should arrive either today or tomorrow. eric told me that the sign will be a "talking sign". you will be able to drive up to the house, tune the car radio into a special am station and hear all about the house...what will they think of next?
