TAN # 84 - The TAN-somest Thread Ever (Page 39)

The Mercury bikes are really pretty.  Haven't seen the 2010s yet.

CULLEN!

Oh HAI!!!!!!

Morning TAN.

Going to my lender today to sign some papers... and a check.  Meeting with a realtor Sunday.  Anyone know of any nice houses, with no issues that I can get on the cheap in the Norfolk VA area?

I got the PERFECT place for you. Bit of a commute though...

Best of luck in your search. It can literally take ALL of your time, like it did ours this summer. Do your homework, and don't be afraid to walk away from a house if things "pop up". We did that a couple times.

Good luck looking, and remember to have fun with it.  I loved our first house search, it was so much fun.  Our second house was a lot harder since we built it and knew exactly what we wanted.   All in all, it's a fun process, just bring your own pen to settlement.  

On another note, I got to use the word twitterpated in conversation yesterday.  It's one of the few "big" words I know, and thus it was fun to use.

i would guess houses near ODU would be cheap.  but dumps.  look at those sweet condos in ghent.  then throw a big party and invite me. 

you are bad.  last night and today (mostly out of necessity) i have like full mobility and minimal pain - even wearing heels to work.  maybe i can do it...

BAD MARILYN!  NO RACE!

do you think it's ok to go on rollercoasters with a sprained back?  it's howl-o-scream, my favorite

If you can't put your big girl pants on to race I don't think you should be riding 'coasters either

No rollercoasters. The amount of twisting and jarring you get, depending on the coaster, plus the quick stops at the end would not be good.

I'm debating on going to Cedar Point for one of their "Hallo-weekends". If you haven't been, Cedar Point is the roller coaster mecca.

howl-o-scream runs until nov. 1 but the big bad wolf is retired

i remain unimpressed by cedar point.

lucky for me, if i go just for the haunted houses and beer and skip the coasters it's OK cause i'm a season pass holder, holla!  and they reopen busch for christmas this year!  i can't wait!

Twitterpated means to be confused by infatuation.  I had a client use it one day while I was giving a presentation.  There were no context clues around it so I just ignored it for the time being.   After looking it up, it made me giggle so I've never forgotten it.   A good friend's daughter was gushing about this guy she just met at school, so I told her she was twitterpated and it would pass.   She looked at me like I had 2 heads. 

When we closed on our current house, there were no pens to be found in the closing office.   Luckily I had one in my pocket from work and we passed it around the table.

This morning is going extremely well so far.... fresh apples from a coworker and I get to work on a new DB process.  It's heavenly.

You've been? Why did you not like it?

It is just too close and much cheaper than any thing else around here to pass up. A normal day pass is like $45... a lot better than the $75+ at Disney or $60 at Busch Gardens

Cullen! WTF? How's the land down unda?

Morning TAN.  Got stuck in traffic behind an accident for an hour this morning.  Fun stuff.

Better to be behind the accident than in it.

Only houses for this kid.  There is actually a really nice neighborhood tucked behind ODU that I'd love to get into, but... it's pretty steep. 

Very true.  It was bad.

The fates have it in for me I swear.

Yesterday - accepted job offer, free beers at happy hour...

Today - went out for lunch... get back to my car... flat tire. GAH!!

Welp ... that's the way life goes. It's a roller coaster, esse.

Would you rather have had flat beer and a free tire?

I would rather have not had the tire go flat period. I just want things to go in the right direction for once in a long while.
