Woo Hoo, Entry #2

Okay, not so exciting, but I said that this would start out a M-W-F blog. Here it is, Wednesday, and thus another entry. This week started out wet and soggy and the forecast is continued wet and soggy with a chance of more wet and soggy. We live in Sunny Southern California, which up until this week has been just that. It has gotten chilly, but the sun was still out. This week was the beginning of the winter storms. They came fast and hard. The house is fine, but the workplace is leaking. One of the back doors is warped and the bottom side doesn't even contact the weatherstripping. So, we flood when it pours, and it has been pouring at times. The only thing to do is call the landlords and we get added to "the list".

Other than that we continue to sign paperwork and wait to sign for the house. It is coming up on a month since this process started. One recommendation to those future homebuyers out there. Never begin the escrow process during the Christmas/New Year timeframe. Too many delays and that adds to the stress. For now, we are just waiting on the next set of papers to sign, the next request for information to fill out, or the next period of waiting. It will be nice when we can say we are homeowners for the first time. We thought of popping the cork on some champagne but we don't drink alcohol. The alternative? Silly string! Perfect. It is fun, colorful, and will wash away easily.

So that is the Wednesday edition of blarking. Back again on Friday!
