Sorry I didn't post last night (for anyone who actually reads this). It got late, and I was tired, and I decided I'd just wait and post this morning.
So yesterday, we got up around 9 and headed over to Jerrilyn's office. She drove us out to Marietta to look at a few townhouses. One of them I had actually found online and sent to her. That was the first one we went to. We found out that it was actually a foreclosure, which is why the price was so low (although it hadn't mentioned anything about that on the listing, Jerrilyn just found out by talking to the selling agent. I kind of felt like that wasn't right, they should be required to include that information in the listing!), but we really liked it. Very cute house, and there are only a couple of minor, inexpensive repairs that it needs. We then went to look at another townhouse in the same subdivision. This was the first house we went to where the owner was actually there. He was an older man who has lived in the house for 15 years. He had SO. MANY. TCHOTCHKES. It was hard to get a good idea of what the house would look like without all the random stuff! It also had a slightly different floorplan from anything else we had seen. We weren't super impressed. Then we headed over to a different part of Marietta to look at another townhouse, which actually ended up being in the same little area as one of the Gables apartment complexes we had looked in a couple of months ago! This was a newer townhouse, it was very nice and well-maintained, but felt very tall and skinny. Even though it had some really nice amenities (new kitchen appliances, refrigerator included, etc.), we ultimately decided that we still liked the first one we had seen (the foreclosure) the best. After we got home, I sent Jerrilyn a list of the single family houses I had found in the Marietta area, so that will probably be the next thing we go look at.
When we got home, I did my laundry while we watched the Braves game. Then we went grocery shopping, came home and ate dinner. We decided to watch a movie on Netflix, and ended up watching a movie called Strictly Sexual, which had been in our instant queue for a while. It was a decent movie, but it made me really upset afterwards. Marcus and I had a long talk about why I was upset, where we both concluded that somewhere along the way, I lost my "mojo" (for lack of a better word). I should add here that "mojo" in this case is not sexual necessarily (I am not Austin Powers!), but more just a general like...passion, and driving force in my life. I'm frustrated, because I remember what it felt like to feel the way the characters did in the movie, and I want that back, but it's like I don't remember how. Talking to Marcus helped a little, I guess, at least to ease some of the frustration, but I still need to figure out how to get my mojo back!
We ended up showering and going to bed right around midnight, so I could watch the new episode of Food Truck Race, since I missed the original airing at 9 (while we were watching the movie).
This is looking to be a really busy week, with the exception of today. I'm just hoping that I somehow have SOME store of energy left at the end of it, because next weekend is going to be crazy.
