Week Roundup

[alwaysbeenasmiler]

Alright, I've poured myself a glass of wine and I'm raring to go.

House update: We went through the general inspection and there are a lot of really 'little' things wrong with the house-- a few things that could add up over time, and we've requested that the seller take care of those first. It is a 'flipped' house so there are some things that we are surprised that wasn't addressed-- a few plugs that do not work-- poor insulation on the deck steps right by the back door-- we have gotten the process going on the home loan but here's hoping that those things get worked out. The stuff worries Owen more then it does me-- or rather the cosmetic stuff, but I figure that there are things that I shouldn't worry about-- things that will have no bearing on how the house runs and/or will not be detrimental to the house in the long run.

I can still see myself in the house but Owen is a capricorn and worries easily-- so who knows.

We went to Meijers and I bought myself the new Sarah J. Maas book, "Court of Wings and Ruin"-- I prefer it before the other series of hers (blasphemy-- I know, but then it hinges on how I like the main characters, and I like Feyre and Rhysand better then I do the main characters in the Throne of Glass series.) I am reading the book now but I know it's gonna be slow going with everything that's going on in my life-- here is to finishing the book before the summer starts!

I watched Harlots and I think that was the season's end; I hope that it comes back for another season because it was really good and I think that those storylines really did come to a head and wrap up but I also see that there are a lot of open endedness so that they can find new things to write about in the series.

I finished the plotline for FFXIV, and while I don't have precisely what I want in terms of how I want to go into Stormsblood, I figure that I am close enough to being optimally geared up in SMN that I can make the direct crossover and it won't be much of a stretch to do so (it's hard running )

Okay that's all the update for today-- and yet I still haven't finished my glass of wine!

Oh, I hope that the seller will take care of all of the inspection stuff! That must be stressful, but hopefully they'll do right by you. ♥

~I've never read a Sarah J. Maas book, but I see them a lot in stores. They look like they could be good reads, but my I have fallen so behind on my Books To Read List that I'm scared to add new titles to it, lol. XD

okay, but what wine were you drinking while writing this? :p

i think most homes can have a bit of "something" wrong with them. unless they're new, they're lived in, so it's expected. hopefully owen doesn't drive himself crazy - it's understandable to fret about these things, but a middle ground approach is always good. the plugs are probably the thing i'd have the most problem with, personally. i'd take poor insulation as an excuse to cuddle.

I am the same way! But books are like an addiction so I just collect them-- by the time I die, I'll probably have millions of books to be read, which means that I hope that reincarnation exists so I can work on all those books in my NEXT life

It is actually from a local kentucky winery (we have some lovely wineries in this region), it is a cherry wine from StoneBrook Winery. Pretty yummy!

I was telling him that there are some things that we really need to address (like the dryer vent being disconnected under the crawl space which can be dangerous as the condescention can damage the wood foundation), and the re-insulation of the underneath space of the crawl space-- but there are other things that we can improvise, as the house hits more of our 'wants' then not.

But an excuse to cuddle is ALWAYS a plus!

typing + wine > wine all alone

You know, I've never had wine thanks to meds I've had to take over the years. My mom did buy some the other day. We still haven't cracked into it. >__<

I wish I knew what fandoms you speak of. I know FFXIV is Final Fantasy 14, correct?

Ahhh, the "fix this before we buy it" dance. Ours went poorly and we're still cleaning up some of the mess, but honestly, I love our house; it's mostly worth it.

Yay for finishing plot! I've still the 3.56 bits to go, but I'll hit those this weekend.

Well luckily they agreed to fix most of what was on the list, so there's a plus! <3 Now we are gonna do the Loan dance
