The Weakend

It was a kind of disappointing weekend. We put our house on the market on Friday and while most of our friends had had at least two full-price offers by now, we haven’t even had two showings. No idea what’s up – weather? price? market slow??? We’re going nuts over here with frustration. I  know it’s early, but it’s really disappointing.

We worked around the rental house, getting it ready to go and ran off to go skiing on Saturday. That was a bit of a disaster. Long drive up, kids were in foul moods by the time we got there and because of that and the semi-nasty weather, we only got one run in. I took the kids back to our hotel room to play on their ipads until dinner. They went to the kids’ club with our friends’ kids and we all went to dinner with my dad. We cut our evening short since everyone was tired. 

Sunday we got up bright and early and got the heck out of dodge. I think I have a bit of a reputation for being a Nazi when it comes to getting back to Denver on Sunday and I don’t really care because where the drive took us about 2 hours, it took our friends who left at 11 about 4.5 hours and our friends who left around noon over 6 hours. Our drive was also a lot less … err.. exciting than theirs.

So the weekend was in some ways kind of a bust, but we did start to get more settled into our little Golden house. We bought (on Fri) and built (on Sun) two shelves from Ikea to house pantry goods – this is the single biggest problem with the house – there is no storage available for things like linens or dry goods. That went a long way to getting some boxes cleared out of the kitchen. We actually had dinner there last night!

Tonight we’re heading to dinner with friends after kiddo pickup and then we’ll be back at the rental house, writing more valentines and putting up some other stuff – a key rack/organizer I bought, our TV and reassembling our treadmill. Slowly but surely.
