Last weekend was all about my coaster geeky shit, but this weekend was totally about Diana. She has pretty much been running herself ragged, as she mentioned in her blog, and I really think that it has caught up with her.
Friday night I helped (and by helped I mean mostly watched) as she put some finishing touches on cleaning up her house so she can sell it. I gotta say, it looks damn good, and I hope there's enough charm to convince someone to buy it for what she's asking. I did a food run to Friday's that ended up being free because it took so long, and we capped the night off with some hot tub action under a clear starry sky.
Saturday started with a meeting with the realtor, who did not exactly paint a pretty picture on the prospects for the house. The sale prices of houses in the area vary like crazy, and some have been on the market for six months or longer. What makes this all scary is that it may be difficult for her to even break even after four years. But whatever, we'll deal with it and figure it out. There isn't a huge rush to sell other than for the fact that she just doesn't want to own it anymore. We'll cross our fingers and pray for someone to come out of nowhere and make the sale.
After that, we met up with various alumni from Baldwin-Wallace, where Diana did her undergrad. The theater people do an annual softball and cookout thing. It's interesting that one of the guys she schooled with is the brother of a buy who was a year ahead of me at Ashland, though I didn't particularly know him. Small world, eh? I gotta say, it's amazing how much everyone loved her. Not that I'm surprised, but this is someone who was well loved in school!
We spent the rest of Saturday night chilling out, and got up in the morning to see the first daily showing of Narnia. It was fairly excellent. I think I may have liked it better than the first one even.
Diana wasn't feeling well after that, so we chilled out the rest of the day and watched the Cavs suck. We also played some Mario Kart, which I'm happy to say she's really starting to get good at. I was worried that there wouldn't be any video games she could get into, but the game is so close to perfect!
I like that we seem to have a good balance of looking out for each other, as it goes in shifts. There is a lot of excitement coming up for us over the next year, that's for sure. The first anniversary of our meeting is coming up in about two weeks, which is hard to believe. I technically had a date or two after that, but it's as good a date as any to mark when the magic started to happen. Yay for eHarmony!
