I have to admit, I am the best at playing the "What If...?" game, especially when monumentally huge decisions lie on the horizon. I have hypothesized about every negative outcome possible regarding the new house. "What if the appraisal comes back low?" "What if the seller won't make repairs?" "What if the seller's decide to take the house off the market?" I think...
Gotta love three day weekends! I slept in this morning, went and browsed for some appliances, ate lunch with Chris, and made a leisurely Target run....my kinda day! I definitely have to think about work tomorrow since I neglected to think about it last week in the midst of signing a house contract, a tech conference, and parent teacher conferences.

A couple I knew right away would not be for me...like the one with a room the size of a closet and bathroom in the middle of the basement, no doors, no...
After being hyped up for the past 4 days, the "Storm of the Century" came and is now on its way out. The 12-15 inches of snow we were supposed to have turned out to be way more sleet than expected which lessened our snow totals down to about 3-5 inches...it is still snowing now (about midnight) so who knows what it will...
