fine print.

Ok. One blog to vent. Banks stink. Loans stink. Fine print stinks.
Glad I could get that one of my chest. Apparently, although it doesn't say it on the deed or the loan note, I must reside in my condo for the duration of my 30-year mortgage. I of course did not see that small detail, nor was it told to me when I signed the mountain of paperwork 3 years ago. Now, I'm married and living in Patrick's house. We rent my condo to some fabulous people. I, trying to play by the rules, sent the lender a letter with my new name and address. In return, I got a letter stating that I had 3 options: move back in to the condo, sell it (and pay a penalty), or refinance (and pay a penalty). As if you could sell anything in this economy.
Banks stink. Loans stink. Fine print stinks. We'll see how this one plays out.

Fighting the War on...

WEEDS! Morning glory is the bane of my gardening existence. I dig and I pull and I curse morning glory at least twice a week. It thrives in our garden patches despite my constant savagery. It has even figured out how to grow through the folds of the felt lining the lava rock beds in our drainage ditch. Erg. What must I do to conquer the Beast that is Morning Glory?

Koda checking out the neigbors

Today while Jamie and I were out doing yard work we had Koda in the front yard with us. We did not have him on a leash or tie down, since he has been pretty good about minding. Well the neighbor across the street was out working on his cars and had the garage open. Koda saw this and was compelled to run across the street. He ran into the neighbor's garage and started eating the dog food that our neighbor had in his garage. The whole time this was happening Jamie and I were both yelling for him to come back, but he would just not listen.

So the neighbors and his dog food are really interesting for Koda. He ended up getting dragged back across the street by the scruff of his neck. Hopefully that might deter him in the future...?

Seeds of Love?

We've just been alerted by a watchful reader (John!) that there is actual photographic evidence of the first time Patrick & I met. Although, I doubt it would stand up in court since you cannot see my face nor his. This photo was taken at John & Jen's New Year's Eve Party 31 December 2006. We are both sitting on the couch. Also note what a hot babe I was that night wearing a pink brooch and matching pink heels with my jeans.

Hah!

As promised. A mushy newlywed picture. Take that! Thank goodness the snow only lasted 'til June... Ok, so it melted before that, but it did snow in June.

So, since everyone else and their dog has a blog...

Ok. We have succumbed... I wasn't going to, but Patrick used his puppy dog eyes on me. You know I don't usually follow the crowd, but anyway. Maybe we'll put mushy newlywed pictures on here and no one will want to read it.
