We won the PowerBall. Well, to be exact, not the whole PowerBall, but a PowerBall prize. On the 6/21 drawing, we got two numbers and the PowerBall. So, we won! $7. Not much, but still so fun to win something! The bad thing is, we bought it in AZ, so it has to be redeemed in AZ. I guess we'll send it to Chris' cousin Lisa. Either that or keep it as an $8 souvenier from our trip ($1 to buy it and the $7 we won).
We are still NOT homeowners. I'd finally had enough of not knowing yesterday. It was Saturday, we'd made the offer on Wednesday. Seemed like a long time with no word to me. So, Chris called the realtor. Apparently the seller is a moron. Oh, wait, we already knew that. The realtor faxed him the papers, he couldn't figure out how to make his fax work, so he hadn't gotten the papers. His daughter was going there (Idabel - where it is, I have no idea, but I know it's in OK) this weekend and taking the papers with him. It sounded like he is going to sign them and on Monday the realtor will fax them to the bank (that's after his daughter drives them back to Tulsa and drops them off at the realtor's office). Hopefully we'll know something by the end of the week. That's what she told Chris. The end of the week? Seems like a long time to me. Not that there's anything I can do to speed the process along, but this just seems like a screwed up deal to me! Plus, the realtor didn't have the decency to let us know what was going on. A simple phone call whould have sufficed. I liked her right off the bat, and I'm a pretty good judge of these things. I think this is a small fish for her. I think she usually does transactions at least twice the price of ours, so she's not as into it. I'm just sayin' is all.
I have to apologize for the boring posts lately. There's just not that much going on in our lives. Actually, that's not true. There's a lot going on, it's just the same things over and over. Crap at the pool (at times literally! LOL!!), craziness at Chris' office, house stuff, and......that's about it. Between classes and the pool, I've been working a TON. But, when my paltry check comes in, it makes me wonder why. Why am I working so hard for so little? Yesterday was a good day, though. We didn't have more than 4 swimmers until like 3:00. So, we just played in the pool (and yes, cleaned a little). Chris brought the puppies by and Scooby had a blast swimming with us. He was even able to get out by himself in the deep end!
BTW, I read somewhere that you're "not allowed" to post unless you include a picture. So, I've included a picture from the Tucson Botanical Gardens!
