Closing only one month away....
I can't believe it - we close exactly one month from today. It will be here before you know it and we still have lots to do in the meantime, and plenty to plan for afterwards.... it would be nice if we would actually hear back from the developer or our sucky realtor when we had questions, etc... what a royal pain in the ass this whole process is.
Packing is a lot of work! I would rather do a couple of boxes a day rather than have to pack up everything at once. Especially since I only come home from work with a couple of boxes each day, where the heck would we put all the boxes as I slowly accumulate packing materials? Even though I am exhausted from the last two days of work, I can't keep myself from packing. What the heck is wrong with me? I barely have energy to get off the couch to come to the computer, yet I can get motivated to pack a box of office items. I feel like I am posessed or something! Adam thought it was funny at first, now he just thinks I'm strange.
This weekend we plan on hitting up some furniture stores and are going to try and get the selling agent to let us in to our unit (we figure if she is hosting another open house in the model unit next door, it shouldn't be a burden on her to let us in to our unit). Man, I hope they sell a unit soon!
I was joking with Adam that he must sound like Frank from Old School when he talks to people at work:
College Student: A big day? Doing what?
Frank: Well, um, actually a pretty nice little Saturday, we're going to go to Home Depot. Yeah, buy some wallpaper, maybe get some flooring, stuff like that. Maybe Bed, Bath, & Beyond, I don't know, I don't know if we'll have enough time.
Our latest house project is picking up paint colors. This is especially tough to do when we aren't in the place AND we don't know what furniture, rugs, etc. we have to design around. It would be handy to have my mom close by these days as well - she LIVES for proejcts like this. Actually, she's really tried to be involved, which is cute. Last week seh sent us a suggested color palette for our bedroom. I was at my friend's place on Saturday and loved the complementary (but not matching) colors she selected in her very open house. It helped me know how to think about paint colors flowing from one room to the next. This will be especially important in the family room/kitchen since it is so open.
