AUGUST 2018; Whats for dinner?

bethk wrote:No supper tonight. Andrea and Josh came to bring Jacob a gaming computer Josh built for him. We all went out for lunch before the two of them turned around to head back to noblesville. I guess Josh enjoys building computers from scratch. He moves into his dorm at Perdue on Tuesday. I think Andrea will be lost with only one child to drive around.....but she's tough. She'll survive!

The realtor is coming tomorrow to take a look at the house. Everyone, please keep your fingers crossed that the meeting goes well. I just want to be done with it and go home! There's still stuff to clean, like the refrigerator my daughter still hasn't emptied of her condiments....but I have an empty trash bin that can solve that problem. Sometimes I wish abortion was legal at 43 years.....JUST KIDDING!

So, after talking with the realtor tomorrow I'll either be in a good mood or you won't hear from me.....LOL

bethk wrote:The realtor just left....contract signed, pictures scheduled to be taken tomorrow. House will be on the market on Monday. The price was a little less than we were hoping for, but, just like my 2006 Pontiac, it's worth what the market will bear NOTwhat your sentimental value is. But the price is 2 1/2 times what was estimated 6 years ago when we bought in Florida and the market was so depressed in this area.  

The best thing was after we took her on the walk through I asked if she had seen anything that needed attention......and she said, "NO"! Phew. We're both exhausted and it feels good that a professional thinks we did enough to be market ready.  So now let the bidding wars begin!

Great news Beth. Now do they have to have an inspection?
We had to when we sold the Uncle's Home. The Downside was he only had a cesspool and The NJ law is.... Must have a septic system.
We had to drop the price $26,000.00.

Glad you went all out on dessert....LOL

I wish he wouldn't do that. I am afraid someone will see him and call the police for indecent exposure and at his age it is indecent.
Tonight we made club sandwiches out of some leftover rotisserie chicken we got at Costco. It was too hot for anything else. I made margaritas out of tequila, triple sec, OJ, orange crush. I was told they were good.
Have you ever seen those bags of Chex Mix at the store? well, I just discovered they have a Turtle flavor that is hard to put down. I have also been gorging on Baskin Robbin's 31 flavors ice cream. They have a sherbet called Rainbow sherbet that is refreshing in this hot weather. I bought some more because it was on special and hid it out in the freezer so Joe won't find it. He can eat a whole pint in one sitting and doesn't leave any for me.
Speaking of freezers, I think I need a bigger one. I have a very small upright, maybe 5 cu/ft and the freezer is full. It just doesn't hold much. I had to toss a bunch of bread to make room for chicken. I hate wasting food. Katie filled the inside freezer with Lean Cuisine's so I can't really use it. I have an LG counter-depth fridge. It is French door with a pull out bottom freezer which is just a drawer. The fridge doesn't hold anything. What is worse is that I hate digging for anything.
