catching up

missed posting yesterday, it was a weird day. we had some major weather here in the Plains. Lots of tornados, bam bam ba blam! one after another. pretty bad. took the back end off of the chuck e cheese here in the city! I was just there on Saturday!! crazy. The bands that went through last night were especially devistating, resulting in deaths I believe.

You always know if it was bad or not if Matt Lauer talks about you in the morning! But today is clear. Breezy and wet, but clear. So there’s that.

I’ve been suffering from some sneezing and allergy bits, but whatever. It’s pseudo spring in Ok, it’s part of the routine!

Monday night we had our first read thru for the play. The woman who plays opposite me, whom I’m never without onstage…up and quit. Just didn’t show up and when called, said she quit. GAH. so our director has some idea of another actor. last night we were supposed to work, but cancelled due to weather. We’re off all next week because the director teaches at the arts high school here and they are putting up their musical. This means…ohhhhh two weeks LESS of rehearsal times. GAH!!! Nerve wracking. seriously. But I’m not going to borrow trouble. It will all work out. I’m just ready to get into this, and it looks like we’re another two weeks out of doing that, so its frustrating.

talked to my dad last night about some work on the house. I’m about to leave you to google insulation installation. I’m going to add more insulation in the attic to help with the bills. I also have a window guy coming out next week to give me an estimate…here’s what I’m thinking about that. It’s President’s Day, so big sale. If I can get a really good deal, buy two get one free kind of thing, and the price is affordable, then I may just get all 8 replaced and either use the money from my escrow account that I get back upon closing the re-fi, or just do the twelve months no interest/payments and use the tax rebate next year to pay it off. I think doing those two things will make amazing differences in the heating/air bills this year. Old houses just not that efficient. so, lot’s of possibilities going on there.

That’s it from here. I’m off to research insulation. Happy Humping Day!

  1. We went with Home Depot for our new windows. It came out to around $4,000 for seven windows. They installed the windows and hawled the old ones off. They were fast too. The guy came out for the estimate and the next month we had new windows done in a day.

  2. Yeah, ours was comparable to Cindy’s. We had the 8 on our 2nd floor done by Windsor Door for, I THINK, $3800? Double-paned, nice windows. Misti, you will love them. It’s not only about the efficiency, but open windows on a fall or spring day and fresh air floating through your house??? I don’t know of many things better. Get you some estimates and steal a deal, babe!
