In 2011 We started with this
Thought we were Going to Do This
Had this happen in between
Now we have this in Lull Land
Christmas Cookies
My better
half made some Christmas cookies with plans to bring them into work and give
them to friends. I had other plans for them.
Shortly
after making them she asked “Who has been eating the Christmas cookies?” What?
We’re not supposed to eat them? Crap.
Now truly, my contribution when invited to
help making them was putting boobs on one of the snowmen (women?) after which I
was told that my help was no longer needed. I thought it would be funny. The
funny part was she wasn’t amused. Much.
So with there
only being two of us I did what I had to about the missing cookies. I said, “You
know, someone has been drinking my beer too. I wonder if the same person that
ate the cookies is the same one that’s drinking my beer?” I pretty sure she
didn’t buy that…
Back to the
house.
Twas a few
nights before Christmas and all of the contractors have headed for the hills.
The house work has come to a complete stop.
It wouldn’t
be so bad if it hadn’t come to a complete stop a few weeks ago. Much of it is
due to scheduling conflicts. Some of it due to the Holidays. We had a good
meeting yesterday with the builder to go over a few items that we had concerns
about including the apparent stop work that was only missing the picket signs.
They have a sub that needs to wrap up a few things outside in order for the
house to move forward. Fortunately, our Project Manager, Joe, is on top of this
and we have a commitment to ramp back up next week at the start of the New Year.
In the meantime I’m going to have to drink a lot of Christmas Cheer to feel
better about this lull.
This will
make our third Christmas owning the property, paying mortgages and trying to make
something out of it. It’s been frustrating but we know 2014 will be “The” year.
In
celebration of our two year anniversary of owning the property, I invite you to
read one of my older blogs. It will make you laugh and like a Christmas Carol,
it is the Ghost of Christmases to come.
Enjoy your
weekend
