It’s offffiicccciiiaalllll (in my best Meadows Race Track voice)!!!!!! We sold the house! We didn’t get as much as we wanted to for the house, but then again it is off our hands. Pretty exciting night for us last night when we finally got the news. The best part was telling the little princess that she is going to have a new house soon (fingers crossed!). There is still a lot of crap that has to be done (inspections, repairs, blah blah blah), but it is great that now we can officially look for a new house and not have the possible worry of two mortgages – ugh.

Anyway, that means we are on the market for a new house which is very exciting. Now I just need to keep the wifey in check in terms of how much she thinks we can afford. Then again, who the hell am I to say considering she is the one paying the bills!

This Friday is orientation for my daughter into her new preschool class that we enrolled her in last week. Pretty exciting and still anxious to see how she is going to fit in. She knows a few of the kids from her dance class that she took this past year, but no matter what I will be uneasy until she fully fits in. With her personality, I don’t think it will be a problem at all. She is so outgoing and personable, almost to a fault, that seeing new faces and such will hopefully be a smooth transition.

I think it is important for her to get acclimated, even if on a part-time basis like we are doing, to kids at an early age instead of keeping her home all day with me, everyday. I’m not judging people who raise their kids that way, but in my personal experience I think it is better to have them out and about more. Maybe it makes them more confident and more open to change, maybe not. I don’t know for sure, but when it was brought up, both my wife and I said it was a no-brainer to make sure she has a ton of interaction with kids as early as possible. What the hell do I know though?

I’ve been craving some Dairy Queen again so tonight might be one of those nights where I treat my daughter (really I’m treating myself, but who’s counting?) to a freaking LARGE Blizzard. I can’t wait!!!

Have a good Tuesday!

Good news! We got two more folks coming to the look at the house today and tomorrow so that’s good. Traffic is always a good thing, and I hope that someone likes it enough to put a respectable offer in. Much to my dismay, we are headed to look at a house early this evening that is WAY too much – but it is going to give us a good judge of where the hell we are financially, which isn’t much!

Last night we took my daughter to Dairy Queen for some ice cream. It still amazes me because we build her up all day that we are going there and then once we get there, she eats like two bites and is done with it. Pretty much a waste of money, but I crushed a damn good strawberry cheesequake blizzard so screw it. Plus the working clientele was easy on the eyes, if you know (and I know damn well you do) what I mean.

I’m gonna watch the Steeler game tonight since it is their opener, but let’s be honest, preseason blows. You get to see the starters like one or two series and it is so vanilla in what they do. I was offered some tickets to the Steeler game later this month, but I was going to have to pay for them. Screw that. $88 to see players that won’t even make the damn team. Not gonna happen, sorry.

I did get offered tickets to the Bucco game in a few weeks so I’m pretty pumped about that! It will be my wife and I, and we are getting a sitter for the little one that night and staying downtown. It should be fun because a few people are in town that we haven’t seen in a while and we are going to do the tailgating thing as well, provided the wifey gets her ass home that day at a decent time (hint hint).

Anyway, enjoy the day and I’ll be sure to let you know how many death stares I give the wife in a couple hours when she seriously thinks we can afford the house we are looking at. Some women just, well, nevermind, I will leave that alone!
