Happiness

I am downright deliciously happy, y’all.   As of 7:30 last night, we are officially homeowners! Our house is all ours! I am incredibly relieved to have this settled. No more paperwork. No more anxious-making phone calls. Steve is leaving for Sundance in four days, and I was literally praying that we would settle before he left. And we did. We celebrated last night in an exhausted, low-key way, with takeout from our new favorite deli and two episodes of "The Closer." Tonight I’m going to make us a herbed summer squash & potato torte and we shall celebrate with the Veuve. And possibly some board games, ’cause that’s how we roll.   Also, I just got my copy of Eyes Like Stars! This is the most-anticipated book of the summer for me.

Question Friday: BBQ Edition

0
Hamburgers, hot dogs, OR veggie burgers? Mustard OR ketchup OR mayo? Pasta salad OR potato salad? Veggie kabobs OR corn on the cob? Strawberry shortcake OR blueberry cobbler OR raspberry crumble OR something else? Bonus: What’s your 4th of July tradition? When I was a kid, we used to go to my grandparents’ cabin. We’d swim in the lake, swing on the hammock, and my uncles would set off some minor fireworks. We’d throw down cherry bombs and write our names with sparklers. Now that we live in D.C., we’ve been going to Liz’s for a relaxed BBQ with friends and wine, and then we walk down toward the Capitol for the big fireworks. Whatever you’re doing, hope you have a wonderful, relaxing weekend!

Teh Crazy, Part II

0
Five weeks ago yesterday, we saw a house. We fell in love with the house. We put an offer on the house, and it was accepted, and we set a closing date of June 19. It all seemed very easy. It was only the fifth house we’d looked at, and we outbid the other potential buyer right away. We found an amazing advocate in our buyer’s agent, C. The house passed inspection with flying colors. We felt lucky that the biggest work we’d have to do was installing towel racks and toilet paper holders, since no one had lived there since the renovation. All was well. Then there was a problem with the loan because of Steve’s freelance status. It pushed the settlement date back a week, but everything seemed to be on track. We were supposed to close at 4 last Friday. There were a few paperwork issues. Minor,...
