I'll be on vacation from June 29th - July 16th. We're going to Singapore and then Hawaii. Just wanted to let everyone know why I won't be posting for a few weeks.
Bye!

Possum
We have a cute little possum that likes to come eat the cat food. I finally got a good picture of it.
Of course Jake was quick to remind me that soon it will be a big, stinky, hissing possum, but for now, it's fun to see it.

Micah
Unfortunately, these were the only pictures that I took while Wendy was here this time. It looks like I'll be stealing pictures from Wendy, so put good ones on your site Wendy.
I even skipped my weekend bike ride to hang out with Wendy and Micah this weekend. Isn't Micah totally cute?

I broke 140
For years now I've wanted to lose a bit of weight. Wendy and I both realize that 133 is probably ideal for us (although we'd like to be a few pounds under that).
But for the last couple of years I've been above 140. Lately I'd been holding pretty steady at 144 after reading "You on a Diet", which was down from a high of 149 before that.
But finally I decided that even eating more healthy wasn't going to necessarily get me to my goal. I'd been at 144 for months even though I was eating well and exercising for about 45 minutes 3-4 days a week.
So I went back on Weight Watchers. This was in addition to continuing to eat more healthy, which I learned from "You on a Diet" and exercising. One additional thing I did, which some people might not agree with, is that I've been taking two metabolife pills every day (even though the bottle says to take six), one at 10 am and another at about 4pm. The reason I'm doing this is because last time I was on weight watchers I was tired all the time and it was horrible. But
by taking these I have more energy and hunger control.
So my good news is that I'm below 140, in fact I'm at 138.5. Now I just have to keep going till I reach my goal and find a way to stay there. I just bought a new pair of running shoes which motivated me to run twice this week.
We're going on vacation from June 29th to July 16th. I really hope that I can maintain during that time. Hopefully I've learned enough about eating healthy that it won't be a problem. So wish me continued success!

Non Conforming Second Unit?
I've been so negligent of my blog! Sorry but I've been extremely busy.
So here's the recent scoop on the house we are selling. It's really bad news.
It turns out that our second house on the property is nonconforming and doesn't meet zoning laws. Even though we checked with the assessor's office and the inspector's office before buying the property, it turns out that we have this problem and no one knew it until we dug up some old records on file with the assessor.
We called prepaid legal to see if we can do anything, but no one can legally be help responsible. We could only hold the seller responsible for not telling us if we could prove that they knew, and I don't think we could do that. And now that WE know, we have to tell everyone who wants to buy or we could get into trouble.
We found out after we got the offer on our house, and everything was fine up until that point. But once we found out about the second house being a nonconforming unit, we had to tell our potential buyer, and they eventually decided that they did not want the property because of this problem.
Suck! We were so close to being done with the whole thing. So now we have to start again. I'm hoping to get the house re-listed tonight (I let it expire) and start taking more calls. But there's no doubt that this is probably going to lower the value of the property. What a mess. :(
