This and that (and a bit of a rant) May 27

Not sure where this blog is going to go yet so I’m just going to see what happens.  First off, we got the inspection report back today.  The good news, nothing major is wrong with the house.  The bad/annoying news, the inspector was apparently a nit picky twit!  I mean I guess for the money the buyer spent she should know this stuff but really, a few spindles on the deck need to be hit with a hammer, literally!  A couple of things the appliance installers should have done, like tie up the dishwasher drainage tube and attaching the oven to the wall.  I guess a few receptacles are loose.  The light in the storage closet needs another screw.  You see where I’m going here?  Yeah…..crap that any idiot with a hammer and screwdriver can fix.  Well honestly I guess I shouldn’t  bitch about having a laundry list of hammer and screwdriver fixes.  There were only 2 semi problematic things which really M and I could fix but we will probably hire someone to do these things.  Hell depending on the cost we might get him to fix the whole list.  I guess I’m just mad that it’s a bunch of little pettily stuff.

Oh but the funniest part about the whole thing is, the realtor calls me to tell me he is about to send the report to me when he starts to tell me what’s on there.  Guess what the first words out of his mouth are?  You got it, insulation.  I was like sh*t!  He proceeded to tell me that the insulation in the attic is covering a few of the vents over the eves and just needs to be pushed back.  WHEWWWW!

On another note I think I am addicted to theknot.com message boards.  And it’s not helping.  I keep reading about all these other people’s plans and dates and places and I am envious.  I am ready to have a plan and a date and a place.  These stupid boards also caused me to almost buy a dress online today.  It was on sale.  A REALLY good sale.  After I got all excited about one dress in particular I realized they no longer had my size or a size that could be fitted.  Oh well.  At some point I will actually start the search.  And by start I mean actually go to a store and try some on.  I keep gravitating towards the same style so I should probably see if I look good in something like that before I buy something offline, on a whim, on sale.

Well I guess I should wrap this up.  M interpreted me to start putting my stuff in the car and well I’ve lost my focus.  🙂

Beach bound I am!  Have a great weekend.
