On Monday, we got word from our Realtor that we would be getting an offer on the house on Tuesday. Like a twelve-year-old waiting for that boy to call, I waited by the phone. I would jump out of meetings to answer a ring, only to find out it was just the vet or the [...]
We’ve lived in our house three years and have kept to ourselves for most of it, only introducing ourselves to our neighbors immediately on either side of our house. This weekend, however, we hosted an open house since our Realtor was busy, and met everyone that apparently lives in a two mile radius.
I guess “Open [...]
Earlier this week, we staged our house, made the bed, and moved out. Packing up the pissed off cat, we shuttled across town to the townhome of my best friend who’s graciously sacrificing it up for us for the next two months. I know that sounds a little crazy, but we wanted to put our [...]
So, somewhow with our travels and general laziness, we’ve completely neglected our backyard.
As you can see, our backyard puked roses.
Through no fault of our own, our yard is thriving. Well, if you can call 300+ roses “thriving.” We spent four hours yesterday pruning and pulling and hacking and chopping and hedging and mowing and sweeping [...]
When we first moved into our house two years ago, we had a small tragedy. The construction guys working on remodeling the basement pointed out that there was a bird, a very sick bird, a bird they could walk up to and feed water from their hands. This bird was moping around our driveway, unable [...]
I tend to keep the thermostat slightly low for most people’s comfort, roughly 59 while we’re gone and cranked up to 62 when we’re home. It helps the environment and our bank account while burning more body fat, so it’s win-win-win!
With Travis and I spending our entire weekend in the sub-terrainian depths of the basement, [...]
Every once in awhile, we get these crazy hairs to move. I grew up in Iowa and lived my first 22 years in the same house, but since then I’ve moved within the Denver area eight times in as many years. Travis has lived in lots of fancy places: San Diego, San Francisco, Dallas, Albuqerque. [...]
This weekend, as Travis was doing laundry (yay, laundry bitch!) I heard a gurgling from the downstairs toilet. We rushed in to find… a mess. Shower backed up. Toilet backed up. And the drain in the utility room? Oh yeah, that was backed up too.
I immediately called my carpoo partner, who’s wife’s sister’s husband (aka: [...]
Wow! I was overwhelmed with questions about the sewer fiasco and how our yard looked. (Actually, no one physically asked but luckily, I can read your minds.) So, here it was Thursday, mere hours before the scheduled dig:
And Friday? After the dig? And how was our weekend, what with the Landscape Salvage [...]
We live down the street from a hip, fun wine bar (with an AWESOME patio and killer happy hour. That new liver I need? Partially THEIR fault). On weekends and some evenings, the parking on our street gets chaotic as people flock down to enjoy their half-price wines. Last night at about 6, [...]
