Yikes

...That was one terrible football game. Alabama is a powerhouse with an incredible defense and it didn't help that the refs were ignoring penalties. Of course, Florida's defense was AWFUL and, for some reason, no one noticed our running plays weren't working. We were robbed of two very obvious touchdowns, too! We lost our first game but I'm still rooting for my boys: GO GATORS!

In other news, we backed out of the deal with the Bay Ave. house. Our inspection was this morning and things were looking okay until we went in the basement. The house had support beams that were being held up (improperly, of course) by bricks and other pieces of wood. It was almost as if someone found scraps and repaired their faltering foundation. There was standing water in the basement which was aiding to SOME of the wood rot. Although the actual foundation hadn't been infested, someone left a board in the crawl space and it was riddled with termites. The electrical breaker was rusted from water that was dripping into it and because of that, certain electrical connections in the house had shorted. On top of those significant issues, there were a few tiny problems. We met with our realtor and resigned from the contract...so we're back to square one.

Most importantly, I got news on Friday that I will be going on my first NRO in November!! RR is paying for me to go to TAMPA, FLORIDA and open a store! I'll be there for almost 2 weeks. I'm more than ready to travel AND get a fat paycheck....and see my friend Kate, from Pcola. You have no idea how excited I am about this!

Still no news of Adam's TSX but I can tell you that operating with one car per household is irritating and nearly impossible. This will be hard.

Since I work again tomorrow, I suppose I should get some sleep but before I go: Sean Middlemas, UPDATE your blog! I need some reading material.
