Prezzies

The correlation of a possible move and receiving wedding gifts packed in huge boxes is an excellent recycling opportunity. Yesterday we received gifts from some of my aunts and uncles including a Jack LaLane Power Juicer and a set of lovely dishes perfect for a small dinner party. I'm considering opening up the juicer and making some lemonade for our 4th of July BBQ on Saturday but Dave is already going way overkill on food and preparations for this thing that probably no one will even show up to and I don't want to encourage him.

Every time I get a new email I jump because we're waiting with baited breath to hear about the house we're trying to buy. Its a short sale, so it has taken FOREVER for the bank holding the mortgage to approve the offer. Forever as in tomorrow it will have been TEN WEEKS. The last thing we heard (last Friday) was "file was submitted to closing dept. Their estimated response time is 3-5 business days, so hope to get an approval this week" So... its been 3-5 days. TELL US OUR FATE. NOW.
