We're out to dinner with a group of our friends tonight -- we haven't seen any of them in over 2 months, so it will be great to get caught up with each other and just enjoy an evening out together. Steve and I are stressing over the whole house-buying situation too -- so a night of relaxation with friends is just what the doctor ordered.
The bank has pre-approved a loan for a house ... so now we just have to FIND a house. We've found several that we like -- so our real estate agent is setting up a few showings for us on Wednesday. We'll FINALLY get to see the insides of several of the houses we've been driving by. I'm looking forward to it -- and now that the loan has been preapproved -- some of the anxiety is lifted (but not all!). I have a feeling Steve and I are going to be super busy in the coming weeks -- because we want to find a house within 30 days and hopefully move end of September or first of October. That's a LOT to get accomplished -- sometimes it can take up to 60 days to close on a house. Yuck!!! The loan officer told me today that barring any problems with sellers, we should have no problem closing in 30 days --- so we're keeping our fingers crossed.
:mondaymission:Time for the Monday Mission .....
1. If I could guarantee that the Fashion Police would not lay the smackdown on you, which favorite out-of-style article of clothing do you wish you could wear right now?
hmmmmm ..... I'm not really big on always having to wear what's IN STYLE. I think style is a relative thing anyway -- what some of those people wear on runways is absolutely ridiculous and most people wouldn't be caught dead wearing it.
2. In your opinion, who is famous but shouldn't be?
Monica Lewinsky, Darva Conger, Anna Nicole Smith, etc.
3. Are there any new movies or TV shows that you are forward to this fall?
Movies -- LOTR II, Harry Potter II; TV Shows -- Firefly (simply because its a Joss Whedon series)
4. If you had a time machine that you could use only one time (there and back), where would you go and what would you do?
Hmmmmm ..... wow. So many options -- some selfish and money motivated, and some selfless and changing history motivated. I'm going to list two. The selfish one would be to go back before microsoft got really big, and invest heavily in their stocks. The selfless one would be to go back and eliminate Hitler before he could commit mass genocide.
5. What cologne of perfume do you like to wear? Which brand do you prefer that your partner wear?
Eternity, by Calvin Klein; I also love Heavenly, by Victoria's Secret; My husband wears Chemistry, by Clinique and it smells sexy on him;
6. Do you recall your first "French kiss?" Tell me about how that felt, and how it came about. Do you like them?
Hmmm ---- my first french kiss was with my first boyfriend. Neither of us had ever done it before -- It was sloppy, gross, and awkward. French kisses are ok -- but only if you are with a guy who actually knows HOW and isn't just shoving his tongue down your throat, or worse, all around your mouth. Ewwww.
7. Excluding your partner...If you had the opportunity, who would you most like to French kiss?
I'm not sure ... I'm not much for kissing complete strangers. Besides, the percentage of people who CAN french kiss, to the people who CAN'T french kiss is just way to low. Even famous good-looking people can be really crappy kissers -- I'll stick with my husband!
