There’s been a whole string of burglaries in Herron-Morton Place this week, and yesterday, Dan and Doug’s house got broken into. But they caught the guy running away, and they think they can link him to all the other burglaries. It looks like it will all work out alright.
Photos of the damage to their house:
Favorite thing that happened yesterday: I was watching Entertainment Tonight, where they were covering the premiere of Harry Potter in England, and they interviewed all the celebrities going to see the movie, including Cher. And they asked them “Are you excited about the premiere of the movie?” And every one of the had to admit they hadn’t read the books. That’s pretty funny.
So, my offer is still on the table. (actually, we re-wrote it, but it’s all still up in the air) and I may not know anything for a week or two. Which makes it really hard to plan, but… we’ll see.
Stacy moved into an apartment in Old Northside this weekend. Actually, she’s mostly moved, but we still have to move a chair and desk & computer. So I got to rearrange the entire house and move my library into her room. The house is much neater and more organized now. Stacy’s apt is pretty cute, too.
So, I’m not getting the house. They didn’t bother to respond to my offer letter because “They’re waiting to see what offers they get.” Nevermind that they have to respond within the specified time limit. Here’s a tip for you folks: I’m the one with the money. I’m trying to give it to you. I don’t need your house but you need my money. Arrrghhh.
Occam’s Razor: one should not increase, beyond what is necessary, the number of entities required to explain anything.
You have an ambitious nature and may make a name for yourself.
Executive ability is prominent in your makeup.
You have a keen sense of humor and love a good time.
Drink to your health!
Your luck has been completely changed today.
Put the data you have uncovered to beneficial use.
That’s an interesting if slightly paranoid cookie. I wonder what “data” this is.
People in your background will be more co-operative than usual.
Through greater effort and hard work a precious dream will come true.
And my house will get renovated….
We must always have old memories and young hopes.
in bed.
Your eyes are the windows of your soul – Don’t worry, be happy.
I love a cookie that’s a call back to the 80’s.
The world looks brighter from behind a smile.
They forgot to mention this only works if you’re Pollyanna.
The faith you seek lives within you.
Some cookies are so true you just can’t make fun of them.
You are going to have some new clothes.
See, the perfect fortune cookie. Specific, upbeat, to the point. I immediately went shopping.
You will soon take a very pleasant and successful trip.
That was Vegas, baby!!
Your eyes will be opened to a world full of beauty, charm and adventure.
Again, must have been my trip to Vegas.
Life is a tragedy for those who feel, and a comedy for those who think.
But the real question is, does it have a laugh track?
Life always gets harder near the summit.
So are you saying I’m almost over the hill? Because I don’t know if I like that idea
You will succeed to a fortune.
Hey, I like that one.
May life throw you a pleasant curve.
Geez, and what I really wanted was a knuckle ball.
This is the reason I’m writing up a will.
I realized last night that I’m not going to get the house. I won’t know for sure until 10 today, but I’m fairly sure I’m not going to get it. Which means I’m taking my earnest money check and buying a big screen TV this weekend. Woo Hoo!!!!! Home theater at my house. (Note, I didn’t actually do this. I held out for a house.)
I have to fill out a form at the police station and take it to the license branch. That’s just one more errand that I need.
Where would you rather live?
I had to raise my offer on the house I wanted to compete with another offer. That SUCKS. Now I have to wait and find out if I’ll even get the house.
