Right now I am very happy for the cooler weather! It is bringing in more coffee and hot chocolate drinkers and warming them up.

right now, thanks all! i slept in and then i watched 'the price is right'. what a lazy morning! right now, still nervous about owning 2 homes--we don't want to use up dh's buyout from his job just to make double payments for months on end! it's too bad there are so many houses on the market in our area at this time...and a lot of couples think only of a 'new' house, even though a custom has a lot more to offer and we are already landscaped, etc. and our mail still comes to the house, whereas all the new developments have the big sections of boxes every few blocks for the entire neighborhood to get their mail. i am in my jammies often when i get the mail--i'd hate to have to get dressed to go down the block for it! i guess we'll go to our star trek drive house over the veteran's day weekend to take a first load up. dd is going to quit her job at the golf course. idiot boss hasn't even called me to fill-in when i am fully trained for both pro shop and restaurant. he just lets his 22-year-old lily-white-ass hire people, as if she knew what to look for! (because this wench doesn't like me, she would rather hire someone new to have to be trained, rather than just give me a day here and there. she doesn't like me because i don't take her nonsense. she will spend days asking us what shape our keys are, etc., rather than just bringing the key she has found to the golf course to see if it fits one of the buildings. i kept telling her the shape of the grip part of a key didn't mean anything. a lot of places have different keys. it was the cut-out on the other end that mattered. she is at the course 3 times a week for lunch, so why couldn't she just bring the damn thing over?! or, she would call and ask me how many logo golf balls we had. i would have to count everything we had out and everything in the storage area. this might be a day after we already did a full inventory. i would tell her how many balls we had and she would say, "hmmm. that's the number i have, too. how strange." what's so strange about our numbers matching?! she also always said our money was short and she would say it loud so boss could hear at her end. when she would call to tell us she had found her mistake, she would whisper, so boss never heard that it was her idiotic error, etc. anyway, she hated me from the first because i didn't kiss her lily-white...) her latest hire has done time and started having kids at 17. the father of her 3 kids was 55 when she was 17! this gal is now only 26 and the guy is almost 65. he has the kids. she smokes dope but says she has a medical rx for it that she got a few years ago for back pain. the last hire missed 12 of her first 30 days of work for a myriad of reasons, including that she had an asthma attack and was hospitalized and the hospital 'refused' to let her make a phone to call. yeah, right. all the days she missed were weekends, by some coincidence. anyway, dd is just tired of the crap and having to work every weekend when she is in school all week. she never has any time to herself. she had to plan a month in advance to be off this last weekend so she could go see the new house and go to my sister's 25th anniversary party. okay, i have vented and it feels great!

Right now, Tabby, I'm afraid I have bad news. The housing market has really cooled off for properties in your price range. Even out here in the boonies, where properties go for less than half the value of your house, the market absolutely died in the past 4 months or so. That is really bad news because, typically, late spring, early summer is the hottest time for RE. There are about 10 houses for sale along the road between my house and town (4 miles) and not one of them has sold in the last 4 months. Asking prices are double and more, what they were 2 years ago, most in the 200 to 250 range. You could have bought any of them a couple of years ago for around 100. People started comming up the hill to find lower prices, and the prices skyrocketed. As I recall, you are asking around 500K. You may have to come down, to as low as you can afford to take, if you want a quicker sale. Otherwise, it may be next spring before the market takes off again. If you can hold on, maybe rent out your house to help with expenses, for 6 months, it might be the best thing to do. Has your realtor discussed this stuff with you? On the other hand, someone may ring your bell tomorrow with a full price offer. Market be damned, sometimes it's just pure luck.

right now, two houses on our block sold in the last ten days. the sacramento bee had an article on sunday saying this was still a 'robust time for real estate, second only to spring'. but, you don't have to tell me things have cooled off some! however, in our area, it's more that there are so many places on the market. as soon as people found out how much their houses had increased in value, they jumped to list their homes! where we usually have less than 50 homes on the market at a time, we have 300 on right now. we aren't going to reduce the price until we get some viewers. our agent told us if a lot of people see it and still don't make an offer, we might consider dropping it 10k or so, but otherwise, not to drop it for at least another month. we can hang in there for a while, but i would hope not for 6 months. things usually pick up around here in late february, early march. we start paying our new mortgage in dec, along with the interest on the line of equity we paid the downpayment with... i saw 3 cars stop and pick up fliers from our box next to the sales sign today, so i am hoping someone calls to see it. i agree that often it's just pure luck...and i could use some right about now!!

right now, that's so cool, twinkie! there's nothing like a best buddy to hang with. right now, we are going out to dinner for our anniversary. great guatemalan restaurant. i am starting with a good glass of wine or a pacifico and the fried calimari. the couple does everything themselves, including not buying already breaded calimari. or, maybe i'll have the mussels. they are in a creamy garlic rum sauce and i get about a dozen mussels and some bagette and i eat the sauce like a soup it's so good. then, should i opt for the crab enchiladas or the spicy chicken fettucine or the swordfish entree? this place is wonderful and it will be one of the few things i miss about this town when we move! early dinner, so we can be home for TAR. we have to tape "my name is earl" to watch afterward. it's really funny! i hate it when the only two good things on air at the same time. thank God for VCRs!!!

Right now, I've got mixed emotions about the fact the I just dropped mom off for a couple of weeks at a retirement home. Cuz Vince is having surgery on Thursday and I need to focus on him. The woman she's sharing a room with is pretty far gone with Alzheimers, and its worrisome that she might drive mom bonkers. Mom also has a bit of dementia, but she' Einstein compared to this lady. Its really sad how people devolve. I hope I don't sound too awful.
