Thought I would try to get in a quick update before I leave for class. Here it goes:
As far as the house hunting goes....we've probably toured about 10 houses. We have 3 "tentatively" on our list. But, we'll be looking at 4 more this week (hopefully). Figures the ones that we wanted to tour most are the one's under contract. Guess that just means we gotta get the ball rolling fast if we see something we fall in love with. Its a hard process, because we're so anxious to get out of our crappy apartment, but, at the same time, it is a HUGE investment. And both Steve and I have decided we're not going to settle for anything. We're going to hold out until our "dream house" plops in front of us. Well, dream house within our price range that is. We've seen several "dream houses" all the way upward of a cool million. Yeah, don't think we'll be checking those out, though, it is fun to pretend! And something to strive for!
As far as school goes, I think I'm doing ok. Only 3 more weeks before my first exam. Which, they are both *right* before HRBabe's wedding. But, that is a good thing because they I don't have to bother with trying to study for an exam when I should be playing Maid of Honor. I will probably do some chapter readings on the plane, but, otherwise, should be a relaxing time....in the sense of a wedding day! haha
Anyway, that's pretty much it so far. About to head out the door. OH, so, I'm out of oatmeal, and, we got a free "weight loss proten powder" deal from Steve's coworker (we like whey protein). Anyway, it was "Tropical Fruit" flavored, and, I was skeptical about it from the start. Well, I had every reason to be! That crap tastes like that so called *bubble-gum* flavor they used to put in the liquid pennicillin when you were a kid. Its NASTY. And, I even made a smoothie out of it with milk, rasperries and a little bit of the tropical fruit V8. I think I will stick to vanilla thank you!
oh, one last thing....Only made it to the gym 4 times last week. I was striving for 6. But, I guess considering that I haven't really been going at ALL lately, that's not too bad. I want to make it at least all 5 weekdays this week, and if I can get some extra cardio in on Saturday, that would be great. But, we do play softball on Friday night, so I might not need to worry about cardio so much over the weekend. We'll see. Certainly won't hurt me! Only about 4 weeks till MOH day!

Weekend Plans.....Anyone??
Saturday, September 8
Well, for short update on the allergies, they are still annoying the crap out of me. But, thankfully, they aren't making me lethargic anymore. But, I still can't breathe, and it sucks!
So, last night was our season opener for fall softball season. I was semi-nervous, mosly cuz, I really sucked it up in batting practice last time. I couldn't get a hit to save my life. But, last night I got 3 base hits and even managed to score a run. I had one grounder come to me in left center and I managed to toss it in, but, I don't think we got anyone out with it. But, still, we could have if we had the chance. haha. Unfortunetly, we lost 10-7. But, still not bad for a first game. And, the funny thing, is the pitcher on the other team was our mortgage broker! Steve was the pitcher on our team, and I kept telling him to say "I'll throw you a good one if you give us a good interest rate!" when she came up to bat. hahahaha.
After the game I continuted to be a fatty by drinking several Bud Lights, and then when we got home, we ordered Barnaby's pizza. The game was at 7:46, and we hadn't had time to eat beforehand, so, we semi-drank our dinner. We weren't wasted necessarily, but we had a decent buzz, and, for whatever reason didn't stop on the way home for anything. I didn't want to go back out, and steve wouldn't let me order anything for delivery (becasue of the whole $1.50 delivery charge most places have down here). So, instead we get Barnaby's Pizza, which, is good pizza, but its like, $17 for a large. I'm like, "Umm....ordering dominoes & paying the delivery fee would be cheaper!!" But sometimes there is no arguing with a semi-drunk Steve (or a semi-drunk Jessica for that matter). So, we get it, bring it home, engourge ourselves, then go to bed.
Not sure what we are doing today. I would like to drive around neighborhoods and maybe take a look at some houses, but, for one, I'm not really sure if our realtor has been looking at stuff for us or not yet (he just got our preapproval stuff last Friday, which, he was in Tampa then anyway for Labor Day). But, at the same time, I'm sure if we called him up this morning and told him we wanted to take a look at stuff, he could pull up a few places for us to check out this afternoon. I might go to http://www.zillow.com to take a look at average neighborhood pricings, and then also our City/County's GIS website has a listing of all the school zones, neighborhood flood zones, and property tax info online as well. Might not hurt to do a little research. Mostly, I think we want to stay on the east side of town. No real ties to north or south, though north does have the better school districts, but, central/south is where more of our *social* network lives." But, I'm certainly not going to pass up a good deal just to be closer to friends. I'm sure we'll still hang out, just might not be as many house parties. :)
Well, I should probably start cleaning the house up (er, apartment) a little. And I have to read about a chapter and a half still for my class on Monday. I'd like to get it out of the way with this morning so I can just relax ther est of the weekend. We might play golf tomorrow morning (which, I'm still not sure about cuz we need to go to church). My friend recently got a part time job as "beer wench" as we call her. She drives the beer cart around the course basically. But, becasue she works there, her and her husband get to golf for free, then, any of her friends (up to a certain limit, because, you don't want 10 people golfing one round together, it would take forever) get to play for $25. This particular course costs $70 on the weekends for a round for non-members. So, yes, its a great deal!!! But, Sunday afternoon, we are for sure watching the Buffalo Bill's game. It will be that way every Sunday till after Christmas. Yay for football season. :)
Peace out!
