I'm alive!

Sorry to the 5 people that read my blog...I have been consumed with the purchase (or lack thereof) of the property we are attempting to buy!  Boy, no one said that buying a house in New York is more complicated than buying a house in Oklahoma...so I am telling you guys now.  It is harder and more complex to purchase a home in New York than in Oklahoma.  Now, you can't say no one told you. 

To make a two month story short (if that's possible for me), we were supposed to close on August 1st.  That was postponed to August 5th.  Today is August 10th and no one can tell me when we will close.  Really, its not a big deal, right?  Uh, Wrong!  We are living from 3 boxes (out of 150 or more that we have in storage).  Brett and I have worn the same three outfits every which way but inside out, which may in fact be next!  We are sick and tired of living in a 500 sqft townhome with a dog that is galloping around like a horse because there just isn't enough room to run.  I tell him inside behavior and he looks at me like he has no idea, because he in fact doesn't. 

We are all ready to settle in and start living our lives here but we really cant do that until we have a place to call home.  Phone is ringing, hopefully it is our lawyer saying that he has FINALLY received the missing documents....

Piles of Pillows

Well, here we are in ten buck two and we are now sleeping on the floor!  Yes, the "heat wave" in the northeast has everyone up in arms, or should I say, on the floor....Anyhoot, the townhouse we are staying has only a window unit size air conditioner which is downstairs in the living room.  As far as I remember back to science 101, heat rises....Yes, to those of you back home, I have no room to talk, but hear me out....the temps here are reaching up to 96 (yes, i know, nothing compared to 115, heat index 130) but sleep in 96 degrees with no air conditioner...So we did what any crazed couple from Oklahoma that just moved to New York would do, moved the guest room matress down the stairs and into our 300 square foot living room.  This is where we have been sleeping since July 1st.  I will say watching TV on a 50" screen only 3 feet away is like going to the movies (positive thoughts people, positive thoughts).  Just wanted to enlighten everyone with our townhouse updates.  Peace, love and sweet air conditioned dreams to all....
