everything is for sale these days...
these past couple of months have brought a lot of change...
changes at home...
changes at work...
at work...i successfully became a member of the training/Mentor team...i have worked hard over the past 7 years to get this spot, and almost blew my interview... or rather did blow my interview...lol...
but with support of upper management and scoring well on the written tests, i managed to squeeze in there..LOL
so with that change, brings about schedule changes... my night shifts are no longer 19:00 to 0700... i now work 1400 to 02:00... which I LOVE.. I actually start my first rotation tonight... sunday is my short night shift and I worl 15:00-23:00... SWEET!!!!!!!!!!
i think this will be much better for my body and sleeping....so i am excited about that!!!
and the big news is that we have decided to sell our house and downsize!
and we did that.. in 1 day!
I called an agent on a Thursday March 3rd and she came by to see us. She told me what she thought and I was shocked... no seriously.. shocked at the number we could sell for....($$) and then gave us the weekend to make a few changes, do a few touch ups and get rid of any clutter.... (and as a side note, she didn't think we could do it on time for Tuesday!)....
well she came by on Tuesday March 8th and the sign went up....pictures of the house were taken....
And by Wednesday the 9th, 4 showings had occured.... 3 had offers and made $10,000 OVER asking price!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All conditions were met and the sold sign is now on the front of the house...
we are so excited... close date is April 15th!
During that perios of time lots of other things happened to our family and I was looking for a townhouse alone with Grace... and I did find one.. out in Riverside South... which is a gorgeous and new area of town...
I found a 3 bedroom 3.5 bathroom open concept end townhouse with a finished basement....
so i jumped on it right away and finished signing those contracts last week!.. and the close date is April the 1st...
but things have changed again... and in retrospect....for the better...
Riley will be staying with his dad during the week because it is closer to his school and easier to finish his last year of highschool....and Katelyn the nanny has decided to move out... even though for weeks she insisted she wasn't moving out, i knew... i was ready... 21 years old and a boyfriend for 4 months.. i knew...
and the best part of course is that Rob will be coming with us as well... and i am happy about that! (but he has no idea what the house looks like yet... LOL)
so now.. i hve a lot of work to do to get ready to move in a month...
we are selling most of the funriture in the house and have already purchased 2 flat screen tv's and found a new kitchen table and couch we love.. and a new bed for Grace... so .. everything will be new!!!!!!
My scrap room is huge here.. lots of space to spread out... but in my new house, i don't have that luxury...
i have decided to sell at least 50% of my scrap stuff...
so if anyone reading this is interested...i will post a few pics mow about the general idea of what is going, and then specific pics tomorrow or wednesday... if you want anything.... email me ..
dorrie.saya@gmail.com and i would prefer if you come pick it up, otherwise, whatever Canada post charges is what delivery would be....i'm practically giving the stuff away, so i can't take the hit on delivery as well...
books and mags... lots and lots of magazines!!!
CLIP-IT-UPS!!!!!!!!!!
i have 3 of these babies and tons of clips on each one...
these retail lower tier 65.00 and upper 35.00)
30.00 gets you both... and 20.00 gets you the lower only!
HAD to have this when it came out.. used it once... (i don't use trimmers....lol... i'm an "ish" kinda gal...)

WOW you sold in one day!!! That's incredible and over the asking price. I'm really happy everything has worked out for you. Riverside south is such a great area. Congrats on the JOB too :) Wishing you luck with all the packing ahead and a happy new home.
Congrats on all your changes, Dorrie. I am in the process of downsizing too ... but only in the scrappin way. lol
I may be interested in all 6 of your bookcases. Are they still available? If you visit my blog, there is an email me link or you can track me down on Facebook and send me a message to let me know.
