Fulfilling a Quota

Okay- so I am not very good at keeping up with my blog. Face it, we all knew it would happen.

Here is a quick update on our homeselling. We have been listed for 3 weeks now and have had 1 realtors showing and 4 prospective buyer showings. No offers. Disappointing but not unexpected.

I am in Boston now. Suppossed to be here until tomorrow, but since the snow storm is fast approaching, Continental has already cancelled my flight home and I have already extended my stay. Chris is playing hooking tomorrow to stay home with the girls-as school is cancelled too. I am jealous- they will all have a great time.

That's it. It's now 3:22 am in Cambridge MA and I am heading back to bed. Was sleeping at 9pm- so unheard of!!

A Busy Week

We are embarking on an exciting time here at the Manasier casa. We have put our house on the market in preparation for our move to NC. After a quick re-paint of our downstairs bathroom, we were good-to-go. The hardest part of these whole thing is to keep the house as-close-to-perfect-as-possible. Although we have not had a showing to-date (we have only been on the market for a few days) I know we can at any minute, and need to be on our best behavior! A bit frustrating, especially since this could go on for weeks or months! Keeping my fingers crossed for a quick sale.

Chris and I head down to NC in March to scout out some appartments. I have mapped out 7 or 8 locations, along with their respective school districts and greatschool.net ratings. I have also located a Montessori school that we will be visiting for Sophie as well. We are sure to have a busy yet productive visit of our soon-to-be new home state.

Other than work and home selling, all is quiet. Oh- Chris took his cooking class last night. Yummy! He enjoyed it and whipped up some delicious grub!

Team Conan

I am on Team Conan. NBC are idiots with this whole moving Jay and Conan and Jimmy around. If 10pm ain't working for Jay and the rating stink, they should just cancel him and let him "retire" like he was suppossed to do. Why move him to 11:35pm and move Conan's Tonight Show until after midnight is just silly. I like Conan more than Jay anyway. And poor Jimmy. He will have his show on when we are eating breakfast. Oy. I think they are doing to Jimmy because he is a Red Sox fan - and for that I take personal offense! Ah- I am sure the saga will unfold more over the next few weeks, especially if Conan decides to up and leave as he stated.

Other than this, I really have nothing newsworthy or witty to say today. Really, blogging daily is not working out- so I may have to revise my promise of 365 posts to maybe 52 posts (once a week). Of course I may conduct some ad-hoc blogging if needed, but boring daily blogs are not what I want to produce.

With that said, are these two girls not the most stylish and beautiful creatures you ever did see?? I love them- their smiles just melt my heart!

An Entry About Food

The girls added yet another title to their ever growing collection of DVDs - "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs". We just got it last night from Nana (aka Cheryl) and the girls watched it first thing the morning and really liked it! What's not to like- there were donuts raining down from the sky. Yum-meee! Sarah said her favorite part was the pickle on the roof, yet the monkey wanting to eat only gummy bears also sent her into hysterics (perhaps it was her own gummy bear fetish that lead to such a reaction).

Speaking of food- we are currently "sticking it" to the Cablevision by watching Iron Chef Super Chef Battle on Channel 11. During every commercial break, Bobby Flay comes out to tell all of us Cablevision viewers how thankful he is for the fans and how the entire Food Network wants to be back on Cablevision. For that reason the picture accompanying this entry is none other than the handsome Bobby Flay. (because really, Emeril and Mario are just not as hot!)

Late Post for Saturday January 9th

Jets wons. Cowboys won. Chris' car is fixed- so now I have my car back again. All is right in the world again!! Pic of the day to be added once I rummage my phone from my purse :)

Friday

When I was little, circa the mid-1970's I had a Farrah Fawcett Styling Head that resembles this one selling on eBay for $100. If I would have known this lovely item was going to fetch so much money, I would have held onto it. But alas I didn't, so odds are it wound up in some landfill somewhere, melting in the hot sun and covered in some sort of bird excrement. Oh well.

Although Farrah herself and my once treasured styling head are now gone, the idea of styling heads is still alive and well, as Sarah received an Aurora (Sleeping Beauty) Head this Christmas. Sophie seems to be very partial to it, as she plays with it much more than her sister. Lately she has also become quite protective of her.

Getting sleepy...must get some rest....Nighty night.
