The weather is horrid, isn't it? Tornadoes touched down just SE of us Thursday night. Brought back bad memories of Arkansas! It has rained torrents for days. Thank heaven a drainage bed was put in around the back and side of the house. So far, so good!
Bethany had a band concert last night AND had band contest tonight at Troy High School. She came home and was in bed by 8 p.m. She tires so easily! Next Saturday they go to Kings Island.
TJ has been handing in job applications...to no avail! Not sure what the problem is. I know it is his first job, but still! He tried backing his car out of the garage the other night, while I was in class, and broke the passenger side mirror off his car. Troy said he thinks he can fix it with the jet glue he has. TJ better hope so! The last mirror (that some vandals broke off) cost us about $50 to replace...and that's only becuz Troy put it on.
I finished my computer classes Wednesday night. I'm not happy with the outcome. I did good with Word and Powerpoint (LOVED my Powerpoint!) and good with Access. But Excel kicked my butt. I barely passed. And to think I have a WHOLE class of it this summer.
Troy did some traveling this last week and is hoping to be home this coming week. It makes it easier for looking at houses.
Which we did today...looked at houses...4 of them. It was supposed to be 5 but for some reason the realtor couldn't get a hold of the owners of the 5th house. So, maybe later.
Shall I tell you about what we looked at? I shall! LOL
The first house we walked into and the living room was filled with satin covered fancy look-at-it-but-don't-sit-on-it furniture...and lots of crystal stuff. The kitchen/diningroom floor was covered in this red and green plaid carpet!!!! EEEEEWWWWW!!! And the diningroom had lots of crytal doodads. Everything in the house was covered in lace and roses! There was a porch outside that you couldn't get to from the inside of the house...and you had to walk all the way around the house to get there! I really have no idea...PLUS a HUGE above ground pool in the middle of the yard...with no deck. Alrighty then.
Next house...absolutely NO back yard. None. Tiny bedrooms. Cat smell.
Third house...tri-level...gross house. And again...cat smell.
Fourth house...has possibilities. It has a full basement that could be finished. A florida room that can be enclosed and the heat and air run out there for Troy's office...put a deck on the back. Lovely yard. BIG yard. Nice, well maintained and QUIET neighborhood. And the price is cheap enough so that you don't mind making some changes. It still needs a storage shed out back...but that is the biggest problem. There is a leak in the one corner of the basement but we saw why...easily remedied. I don't know... something to put on the back burner.
We will still keep looking. I just look at some of these houses and wonder...WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?
