Butterfly's new plan for success!!!

(CLICK HERE here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: butterfly

Sore throat went away!

Couldn't get to sleep last night... it was like 3am before I finally dozed off

Had computer problems and the tech lady brough me a new computer and had to move all my data over so I've been trying to re-install all my special software (the stuff that's not standard) and get things organized... what a pain!

He's growing up too fast... just wait til you got one of your own, you'll see

Think I'll let him drive too!

Hey Darlin'~ of course I am~~ You are for me too!

Sorry~ I just saw this!!
How did your dinner go last night w/ Cory? He is growing up fast!!! WoW!

I know, I'll be saying that one day tooooo

Hey Ann!

Just wanted to stop by and say HI!

Hope your cold will be better soon! And that you get a great offer on the house!!

Hey, if you're interested in tennis, watch the Davis Cup on TV this weekend.. I'll be dancing there!

Take care sugah,
Jenny

You better yet Ann? I hate when I am down with a cold.. some freinds of ours just returned ,...well two weeks or so ago from Mainland China and now they all have SARS??? latest rumor here on the island of course..[I am assuming this part tho as we have not heard from them since they left for their trip to visit family in China but we know they are home, not answering the phone or anything?? ( they are the only 4 cases on the island so far that I know of.) the schools have sent home notices notifying parents and the school they mentioned in the letter is the school our friends daughters go to... but nothing has been closed. they own a restaurant but its been closed since they left on thier trip.. ( I'm going on a limb here saying it is them but they are the only people we know of that has been to the proviences that were infected in China..withen the last 4-6 weeks.] sigh..

Anyway I certainly do hope you are feeling bettah!!! hugs

Eri'

What is SARS??? I haven't of it...

Posted by: Stacey

hey woman.. how ya feeling???!

Posted by: Erilaya

yes B how you feeling today??

s.a.r.s is the severe acute respiratory syndrome. its all over the news? we have had 6 deaths in canada thus far and world wide there are 78 deaths and over 2300 people have the illness.. it came from China.

hugs
Eri'

Posted by: butterfly

I don't watch the news...

That SARS sounds scary

Posted by: Erilaya

actually that is funny you say that as I do not watch television either.. ( although hubs has a bigscreen??) but I had heard about it from word of mouth and then the notice came home from the kids school and then I put on cnn.. and BAM paranoia set it.. gee and I wonder why I DON'T watch the news on a daily basis.

sweetie you aren't missing anything.. so far so could all cases are being treated here and all is clear as of today. sigh of relief

huggies

It's never fun to get notes like that sent home from school with your KIDS!!! I feel for ya!!!

My son says they've been doing drills at school on how to "lock down"

I'm glad we got him a cell phone cause if something did happen I'd go nuts not being able to get in touch with him.

Posted by: Stacey

Butterfly~ thats very smart of you guys to get him the cell phone! Omg..are they really teaching them the "lock down" wow..thats kinda scary ya know..but good to know they will know what to do if something were to happen

Hope you guys have a wonderful weekend

Hiya B!
Let me up date this:
YES! Yesterday! Wahoo! I have an interview Monday afternoon witha Remax company. The guy I spoke with / met is also fairly young and seems nice. he seemed interested in talking with me and thinks I will do great! I am also going to be speaking with my buddy's hiring broker as well. I was definately going to go and work with his company, but I began to think.
(scary?)
He works with his mother and wife. I kinda feel like an outider looking in? Does that make sense? They have their little group and I do not think I would be in there...plus the fisrt time I spoke with their hiring broker, I didn't really get a warm fuzzy feeling with her. I may have just read her wrong. I want to interview a couple different brokers before I sign on. A 'plus'....that first guy...there is going to be a Starbucks in the same building! Wahoo!

You feeling better?

Posted by: butterfly

I like ReMax! Used them last time we moved and are using them now, too. I'd definitely take some time interviewing and consider your future with each firm... Good luck!!!

I'm better! My ear/sinus infection is gone but my tummy/esophagus is sore from the procedure Monday.

Posted by: naturaltan

B ... we almost thought about going to Hedo again in June. LOL

we found a TA that could get us there for just about $4500 CAD.

A couple we met there last time is going to hedo in June for $2600. You might want to look into it ... I think you'd have a great time!

Posted by: butterfly

Thanks for the tip!

Unfortunately, we aren't going anywhere this summer if we don't get that house sold

Posted by: Burner02

Hiya B!
I had my interview w/ a Remax shop the other day. I like what he had to say, and the location is with upper priced houses...

The one scary drawback..is that there is a 800.00 monthly desk fee...damn...that's more than my home mortgage...
I still need to interview w/ my friend's brokerage...their fee is only 80.00 per month...
I need to find where I think I will be happier and get better support..if more support w/ Remax...I'll go there.

Glad to hear that your ear is better!
Wel, I got all the crap foods out of my system..after an indulgent weekend...and am doing a 'ewlcome back to the gym' light week at the gym this week...next Sunday...hold on to your lifting straps...'cause Burner's gonna be movin!

Have a great day!

Posted by: butterfly

seems like I got to post this somewhere in order to put it in my sig...

Posted by: butterfly

Did you use a digital camera or a regular one? If you used a regular one don't forget to get the pics put on a disc when you get them developed... then you don't have to worry about trying to scan them.

Can't wait to see!!!

Posted by: Burner02

Hiya B!
They went and played paintball! I love that! My team and are going back to Oklahoma for D-Day for Memorial Day Weekend again! (If I get any money coming in..)

What? Stace! You aren't sharing with the rest of us? We wanna see too!

Hey Butterfly~ I used a regular camera.. I'll get them put on a disc.. then I won't have to worry about sending it to you..right? I can just do it from my computer here?!

I'm busy with work and thinking about how to decorate the new house (we close next week). Also, stressing a bit over not having sold our current house.

Fade is enjoying not having to work

and getting ready to take some classes. He's got a long list of projects to complete on the new house before we can move in, too.

How are you?

I thought you had this insatiable need to hook me up witha Texas cutie???

Hey B & S!...wait a sec...might need to rephrase that..
Butterfly and Stacey!
Double congrats to the both of you! When do we get pics of the new 'cribs?!?!
House warming parties????

Oh, that open house fell through...

Oh well..there will be more. I went over Friday afternoon to pick up the signs and materials, and when got there, my frined's mother (who holds the listing) said that the old woman who lives there didn't want to have the open house. The house was built in 1895 and is filled w/ antiques, and was afraid something would either get broken or stolen.
Dianne was tlaking w/ another high speed realtor, he aked if I had a buisness card yet. Said notyet, need a pic first. Anyway, said as soon as I get a card, put it in his box and he will let me sit in on all his open houses...
It is good to be friendly, sometimes.

Posted by: lina

Congrats B!

When is the open house and do we get to see pics?

Posted by: Stacey

THANK YOU BURNER!!

Sorry about the open house not happening..but there will be plenty more in your future

Thanks!

It's old and ugly right now... built in 1978. I'll post before and after pics after we are done remodeling.

The pool and patio are about the only things worth looking at

Posted by: butterfly

Thanks Burner!

Just be patient, keep yours eyes open for opportunities and the new career will work out great for you

Posted by: buff_tat2d_chic

Congrats on the new houses ladies. I am jealous

I know you will make it look nice since I see you have a flair for decorating. Yes, make sure do take lots of pics and maybe we'll see your pics on Christopher Lowell or HGTV!

I had some before/after pics taken of our house and I was going to send them to Christopher Lowell but never got my arse together to do it... I really had the decorater's bug 2 years ago and I think I'm getting it again so I'll have to dig them up, have them scanned (before I had digital camera) and post em here...

That would be great!!! Please do find and post them... I need all the inspiration I can get!

I actually contacted some of those shows on HGTV like Decorators Challenge and Designing for the Sexes but none of them have plans to come to Houston

I'll keep checking though

Hi Butterfly, I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that uses EAS or Myoplex..........how are you???????

Posted by: butterfly

Hey Katie!!!

I'm doing good... super busy at work right now... deadlines and all

And I've got to spend all weekend painting the new house cause the new carpet is coming next week

I'm hoping to squeeze in some time to start that leg challenge but I'm not sure it's going to happen... I'll let you know if I go for it

I was thinking of trying to recruit some more players from here... what do ya think?

Posted by: butterfly

Oh yeah... there are some here at IM that are totally against EAS bars and the like but there are plenty of others that have a different opinion on them. It really needs to be up to you whether you incorporate them into your diet or not.

Posted by: katie64

Leg Challenge, prolly by the 1st of June, great idea on getting some others, I'll try too.........working hard on your house, I've been renovating too.........I love doing that kind of stuff, I'd love to buy old homes and fix them up..........your house sounds great, movings hard but the results are alwasy nice........how's your house biatch

It's a DuPont StainMaster Frieze... it's a bit too pinky but it's pretty close to the soft brown we chose.

Posted by: Stacey

I REALLY LIKE THAT COLOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good Choice.. wheres it all going???

Posted by: butterfly

New carpet is in the:
Bedrooms
Hallway
Study
Dining
Media (aka formal living room

)

We are going to put a dark hardwood floor (like Mahogony) down in the entry, den, kitchen & breakfast area...

New tile for our bath, the kids bath and utility room...

But that probably won't happen for a few months and after we sell the big house. But that's ok, between the new carpet and freshly painted walls I can live with it for awhile

WOW BUTTERFLY!!!!! Thats Going to look SOOO Awesome when Your all finished!! And Definalty worth waiting for.. WOW

Hey Burner, what do you make of this???

Our house is listed for $354, right. So like 6 wks ago this guy offers $335. We said no way in hell, we paid $338. So we counter with $349. He comes back like 2 wks later with $340. We counter with $347 FINAL!!! 1 wk later he counters $344. We said NO, #347 FINAL!!! Now like 3 more wks later he comes back with $345.

WHAT THE HELL IS UP WITH THIS GUY!!!

He can't pay the 2k difference since we already dropped way below the price we wanted to sell at?!?!

Some people

Posted by: Burner02

always looking for a deal..how 'bout...take the 345...and have him pay all closing costs!

Posted by: butterfly

I thought the buyer always paid all the closing costs... is that not the case???

If not, that is a GREAT idea!!! I knew I asked you for a reason

Thanks!

Posted by: Burner02

alot of times, at least here..each usually pays 1/2?

Posted by: butterfly

Ok, we'll put it out there!

Thanks again! You're the coolest

Posted by: Burner02

I like to think so...but then again...I'm biased..

So..what are y'all doing this fine evening?
I ma just finishing up my dinner, 2 chicken breasts adn1/2 can green beans...the go to the club real quick and pick up my teeny, tiny pay check....then back here to study real estate stuff...

Posted by: Stacey

not really..sometimes the sellar pays NOTHING in closing!!!!

Posted by: butterfly

Should I call my realtor today or let the guy wait on us for a change???

Posted by: Stacey

I don't know??!!!

Hey..you and your family have a wonderful weekend honey.. I'm leaving work! Thank you again for helping me!!!!!!!

XOXOXOXO
Stacey

Anytime sweetie! You enjoy your weekend too and get lots of rest!

Dear Diary,

I'm so tired from working in the new house. I've painted Cory's room, the hallway, the master bedroom and tonight I painted the study... boy are my hands, arms and shoulder even more sore now! I still can't write without excrutiating pain, but I suspect it'll get better once I stop all this painting.

Haven't gone to the gym in weeks! I have been good about what I eat and I've lost a few more lbs of fat. Unfortunately, I'm sure the scale will go back up once I start this leg challenge and add more muscle.

Better get some sleep now...

Posted by: Stacey

Dear Ann,
You need to REST now, and take care of your beautiful hands...no cooking/ no cleaning..put your feet up and make John do all the work..

Love,
your diary!

Posted by: Stacey

I BET U ARE About Sick of painting woman!! Wow I would be sooo high, and lightheaded if I were you..
Don't worry about the gym..you have been sooo busy with your home!!!!

Did your carpet get put in yet??

We got the carpet last Wed... it looks sooo good!!! I painted the study Sat. night so now all that's left is the media room (aka formal living room) and the dining room, but I'm still waiting on the decorator to send her guys over to float & texture a wall in there that John took the old wallpaper off of.

~John & Cory both have finals this week... so now house stuff for them.
~Cory is going to Maine next week with my brother and John will finish putting up the new crown molding and replacing all the ugly old brown doors with new white 6-panel doors.
~The next week will be moving week!

Posted by: Stacey

WOW!!! You guys are really making that house brand new!!!! I bet the carpet looks AWESOME!!!
Thats a good idea getting the new white doors!~ They will make your home look Great!!! Crown molding too..dang woman!!! I'm sooo proud of you!!! I LOVE my crown molding..almost didn't get it..BUT I'm sooo happy that I did!!!

I bet You cannot wait to move in!!

WoW Lots of studying going on in your home..I feel sorry for your guys~~ I HATED STUDYING!

Thanks for getting him back to studying, Stacey!!!

I'm too busy at work right now

I've got these training charts I've got to finish by Thursday... there are 100+ slides!!!

AND

I've got to finish creating the rest of the pages for our new website

...and all I really want to do is go home and snuggle with my honey

Posted by: butterfly

Well, we told the realtor about taking the guy's offer of $345,500 if the buyer paid the closing costs and out realtor didn't think that made much sense... not exactly WHY he thought that since fade talked to him... so the realtor said to stick to the $347.

But then I thought about it some more and told fade I thought he should call the realtor back and tell him we'd take the $345,500 and the realtor said NO, he was getting some paperwork ready and was going to call us this afternoon. He suggested both sides make some concessions.

So, we are just waiting to hear back from him... wonder what these concessions will be???

Posted by: Burner02

hmm...I do not know...sorry...
but..if your realtor says stick to your guns...then you might want to do it.

Posted by: butterfly

Here's the latest...

Realtor said to go with $346, we pay to strecth the carpet and they pay to clean it.

Realtor also said since they haven't sent an inspector out yet that there may be some cost of repairs there... way we see it is that the house is only 2 yrs old, what the hell could possibly be wrong with a 2 yr old house??? Especially since we had it inspected right before we bought it.

Only thing we disagree on so far is the closing date. He said end of July but we don't want to pay another mortgage payment so we said the end of June. Him wanting to close the end of July makes me think he's been dragging this all out on purpose just to get closer to that date.

Anyway...

Dear Diary,

Found out at the party last night that both Jen and Carrie are pregnant! I'm so totally happy for both of them but at the same time I don't know how I'm going to get through this... all the planning, all the baby talk...

I can't let either of them know how much it tears me up inside, wouldn't be fair to them, I want them to enjoy their pregnancies and new blessings.

I'll be strong!
