so about that whole house thing
We're obviously super excited, mostly because it seems to be perfect.

It's like a block or two away from where we live, which means the parking will still be good, and it will still be walking distance to work. Both key.

The building has 2 units. Ours is a two floor unit, with two bedrooms and a full bathroom on the second floor and the living room, kitchen, dining room, half bath/laundry, and deck acess on the first floor. Now get this: this used to be a three unit, but it was renovated...so basically, the current owner turned the upstairs living room into our palacial bedroom, turned the kitchen....into our beyond huge closet, and then left the bathroom and the bedroom. Can I get an amen?! A closet that used to be a KITCHEN?! *angels sing* Plus, the bedroom is totally big enough to bring in our big leather recliner for nursing and baby chill time, and it's totally big enough for a treadmill, which despite my lack of funds, I'm quietly squirreling away for.

The place has plenty of closet space, has a pantry, etc. It's really great, and the price is right, so we're beyond thrilled. We offered, they counter, we countered their counter, and they said yes. So now....we just need an inspection, annnnnnd they need to buy a house as that's a contingency. We're thinking this'll all happen sometime in July or, which would totally be perfect.

And....as anticlimactic as it may be, I'm now going to do a quick weekend/today update.

Today: Today was super quiet at work, which was awesome. For whatever reason, it was a non session day, which meant one more day of reprieve, short hours, and casual clothes. I walked to and from work (1 hour total), and I did 30 mins of prenatal yoga, which.....was way lame. I mean it felt nice, and it was relaxing and stretchy, but it wasn't nearly as challenging as what I'm used to. Hmph. The pilates dvd was definitely better, probably because of the killer leg series!

Weekend: I did nothing. Basically. I avoided the outdoors like it was the plague, mainly because it was. I rested a lot, did some stretching, and that was about it. All weekend. I did briefly go to an 80s party, and it was lame, but I was hot. I had a flash dance sort of thing going on. Roar. The party was weak because I wasn't drinking, and because most of the people at this party were adults or teens in the 80s; we had expected more of the work/happy hour crew. Anyhow, the outfits and the food were good, so that was cool. Oh yeah, and we got a house. Did I mention that?
