POOL NEWS

Ok it is official. My husband is trying to kill me. It is not a quick death noooo it is slow and painful. We came home from work today and got started on the yard. Our friend Clint came over to help Wade and I. Without him we would still be out there. We got the fence taken down and the shed torn down. I also got the yard sprayed for ants. (per the pool people) The tree company will be here in the morning to start taking out the 8 trees that need to come out. I should have taken a before pic tonight before it got dark but I forgot. I will try to get one in the morning when I leave for work. I know it is going to look like a disaster zone when I get home tomorrow.

The pool is scheduled to be installed the week of August 6th. At least we may get 4-8 weeks out of the pool before we have to close it down. Wonder how long it is going to take to fill it up and get warm? Oh YIKES.. wonder how much my water bill is going to be?

YIkes!! No blog entry in 2 weeks?

Ok I admit I am sooo bad at this. I am even bad at reading my friends blogs. My friend Lauren could have said all kinds of bad stuff about me in her blog and I would not have even known it. The problem is that the webnatzis at work will not let me have access to my blog therefore I cannot check it or ready anyone elses. After working on the computer all day at work I really don't like to come home and turn mine on.

Well I have been busy doing the auction thing. Things at the booth are doing well. I am making a little bit of money. It is at least paying for my habit.

On to today... Wade and I got a wild hair and we purchased a pool today. Yup you heard me right... a swimming POOL! I am excited. They had them 50% off. I understand that this is the end of the season but we will get some use out of it before we close it down for the winter. We have a ton to get done. We have trees to cut, fence to take down & move, a storage building to remove, get a backhoe and move dirt oh and a deck to build.

Hopefully we can have everyone over for an end of summer party. I will take pics of the progress. We are planning on starting on Monday. Wish me luck!

Back From Vacation!

WE ARE BACK!!!

We all had so much fun! The photo is of our whole group. Our best friends Edna, Whit & Megan Cooze went to Myrtle Beach with us. Chris also took his friend Brandon. We had some adventures along the way. On Sunday when we arrived it rained most all of the day. But that did not stop us from going to the beach. It was just raining so we stayed out. Heck we were already wet what did it matter. On Sunday when we checked in the remote controls did not work. On Monday or maybe Tuesday the fire alarm went off in our room every time we opened the balcony door. Come to find out the batteries were dying and all three needed to be changed. Other than that we had a smooth time. We ended the week by leaving the beach on Thursday and drove up to Charlotte. We stopped and visited Hendrick Motorsports and Lowes Motorspeedway. Chris was in Nascar heaven. The only thing that would have been better is if we had actually gotten to meet Jeff or Jimmie. The whole vacation was very relaxing. I hate the thought of going back to work on Monday.

Myrtle Beach HERE I COME!!!

Ok it is 11:52 pm the night before we leave for the beach. I am just now finished packing the bags and the car. We are ready... Well except that we left my camera in Wade's truck and it is at his brothers house. So we have to make a stop there in the morning before we head out. I am soooo ready. I will post pics and details next Sunday! Off to bed to get ready for the 8 hour drive.

VACATION!!

We leave for vacation to Myrtle Beach on Sunday!!! I am so excited I can't stand it! We are going with our friends the Cooze family. I talked to Edna today and she is like me she can't wait. I know this will be the longest week of the entire year. It is even a short week. Luckily work won't be too busy. It is month end and I have a ton to get done before I leave so it will make the week fly by.

News from the Wood Family

Wade and I have made a big decision. We are putting ourselves out on a limb and have made an offer on a house. Not another one for us to live in but investment property. We are looking to fix it up and sell it for a profit. We will find out by Monday if they accepted our offer. While we were there writing the offer there was another couple waiting outside to come in and look at it. Thankfully they did not see that we were writing the offer and hopefully ours will be accepted first. But in reality the buyer may hold out till the last minute to see if any better offers come in. Keep your fingers crossed.

In the meantime my other booth has come open at the Antique Mall. If I don’t take it I will loose it. So if I don’t get the house I will still want to keep going with the booth. I hate being an adult and having to make decisions. I just have gotten to the point to where you have to spend money to make money. If you don’t put yourself on the line you can’t get ahead. Heaven knows I am not going to get rich just working my regular job. Wade and I are just trying to find other ways to earn some extra income.
