I don't want to get my hair wet

I heard a father tell his son that yesterday. I had to do a double take. Not something you hear from the men so often. The pool has been relatively quiet lately. We were busy for us for a Saturday yesterday. Usually we have few enough people that we can go with one guard most to all of the day. (depending on the swimmers, 15 or less) Yesterday, we had to go with 2 for most of the day. When you only have 3 and it's darn near 100 and miserable, it makes for a long day. Chris and I went to Sam's yesterday morning. I have a business card for the pool, so we went before all the regular riff-raff can and bought a bunch of stuff for the vending machines at the pool. That's one of my responsibilities, stocking the machines. It's a new thing for me.

Chris and I have both been nervous about the whole house thing. We're pretty excited. It fits us perfectly. Two story. 4 bedrooms and a bonus room. 2200 sq. ft. The living room is kind of small, and the kitchen isn't what I wanted, but for the price, the size, and the locale, we thought it was perfect. They are trying to keep it from going into forclosure, but the bank is already the seller (don't really get that). We'd found it online and drove by it on Sunday night. Well, on Tues. or Wed., they dropped the price 10 grand. So, Chris went with my mom to see it on Thurs. afternoon. He liked it OK, but she said I HAD to see it. So, we went back at 8:30 that night after I got done with the pool. I thought it was great, and on the 2nd go around Chris loved it.

Friday morning, he called and at noon we made the offer. We never got around to calling anyone about being our realtor. The woman showing it said that because the bank is actually the seller, she could go ahead and write it up for us. We really liked her, so we just had her do it. After making the actual offer, I still like her a lot. She's very objective, and wants to make sure we're OK. So that's the story. Now we wait. Because it's the bank, it could take up to a week, which because we did it on Friday could be a week from this Monday. Which, we'll be in Tucson then. Good timing, huh?  Wanna see pictures?
