A Monsoon and A Monster Move
6:21 AM
So, I've mentioned our big move a couple of times. We were planning to close on the house two weeks ago, but the mortgage industry has not been good to us :( You'd think in this market they would be down on their knees begging for our business. Yeah, not so much. The bank gave us a sizable loan, but they wanted mountains of paperwork and an explanation for every financial transaction we've ever made. My husband finally said, "Lock me in a room, strip me naked, ask me anything you want - just let me close on this **&!@& house." Okay, he said it without the profanity, but you get the picture. Anyway, we will finally close today. We pick up the U-Haul this afternoon, and will be carting things to the new house until our old one is empty. Sounds fun, huh?
My computer will be off during the move, but I will still be picking book winners tomorrow. If you haven't entered my giveaways, do it now. You can just scroll down through my last few posts to get all the info. I have 3 books up for grabs, so the odds are fairly good. My IRL friend, Tara, is also giving away a book on her blog, The Well-Rounded Woman. You can get all the details here.
I've got a couple of post-dated reviews that should show up as I'm unpacking and getting my kids ready to start school. Once I get settled, I'll be back with a vengeance. I've got a tower of review books to read as well as Stephenie Meyer's Breaking Dawn and more giveaways. So, stay tuned!
Oh, I almost forgot. The photo up top was snapped by my husband as we were standing on 1 of the balconies at the new house (it has 2 - dh is so excited). It was a colorful, monsoon-y night. About an hour after this picture, the heavens heaved and it poured down rain. We were at a swimming party; I got completely drenched as I made a mad dash for the parking lot. I loved it. What can I say? You can take the girl out of Washington State, but you can't take Washington State out of the girl!
Enough chit chat - I've got to finish packing. Wish me luck with this monster move!
