We are finally in and almost done unpacking.

If I never see another cardboard box filled with something I will be a happy woman. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Here is a little kicker to the story of us buying this house.

The XOW just happened to show up at the Title Company when we were closing on our house. My H got REAL uncomfortable because he knew how fed up I was with her antics when we first looked at this house.

For those that don't know....the OW has been out of the picture for about 4 years now. We didn't pick a specific agent when we started looking for houses and the office sent the OW out to show us a house. We didn't know that she worked there or was an agent. She proceeded to almost cost us the house we wanted for reasons unknown. She didn't know I had more information about the situation than I should have.

Anyway...I only knew she was there because the lady at the Title Company forgot to copy some of our papers and she left the room so it was quiet....and I would know "her" voice anywhere. The secretary told her that she didn't have any other appts scheduled for that day because it was already so late in the day. It was around 5:00 p.m.

XOW said that she would wait to talk to the owner of the Title Co.(only 2 people work in this office) because she was sure that she had made the appt. for that day at 5:30 p.m. and the only reason she had come was because the buyer requested that the agents be there. They don't have to be there unless the buyer or seller request it....otherwise she would have been at OUR closing. I personally suggested that the agents NOT be present.

She caught the owner on her way back to us and asked her about it and the owner told her that she had nothing scheduled past 4:30 that day. The owner told her that she could wait and talk to her if she wanted but that she was almost finished with a closing and wanted to get it done really fast. She came back in huffing and rolling her eyes....and saying...that woman is a pain.

I just about fell outta my chair laughing because I was thinking that exact same thing....though I didn't say anything.

I guess she decided to wait for her because when we left the office she was sitting in the waiting room. She acted surprised to see us...but she knew we would be there as she is the agent that had the house listed. She must think we are stupid.

She got up as we were walking out and said congratulations on buying your house...and directed her next statement to my H. She said....."If you have any problems at all let me know and I will get ahold of the seller and let them know." My H looked at me and then at her and said...."Thanks...we don't need any of your help....my wife is perfectly capable of handeling anything that might go wrong...but I'm sure you already know that. If you contact either my wife or myself it will be seen as nothing but harassment." And he turned back around with a big smile and we left the building.

We got outside and I just broke out laughing. I know she heard me....but I couldn't help it. Must have been contagious because my H started laughing too.

Anyway....just wanted to let everyone know that I haven't dropped off the face of the earth (sorry about your luck to those that wished I would have).

Wish we would have been able to move in in time to enjoy the new pool though.

That's the best story I've read in AGES.

Congratulations all the way around!


I never had to take the Kobayashi Maru test until now. What do you think of my solution?

O'hana means family, and family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten.

Dear Miss Priss,
Your story brought a huge smile to my face. I LOVED the part where your husband told ow ...."Thanks...we don't need any of your help....my wife is perfectly capable of handeling anything that might go wrong...but I'm sure you already know that. If you contact either my wife or myself it will be seen as nothing but harassment."


Awsome!!!!

Especially laughing on the way out, that was priceless.

You and your husband are my kind of people.


In the end, I have nothing to lose but everything to gain, by trying to save my marriage.
