Here's to saying goodbye to our house on Candlewood! Thanks to Anne Bell, aka best Realtor ever (see picture below) and Lee we finally sold our house - yippeee!
Anne - I hope you don't care I hi-jacked your pic off facebook. (For those of you who think I'm addressing myself, you're nuts*) McSwain, Anne does not have one picture on facebook of only herself - they all have you in them so (1) you have the pleasure of making a photo-op on our blog but more importantly (2) I'd be worried about your wife being slightly obsessed with you - haha!
*Side Note 1- We came to call Anne Bell, "Realtor Anne" because Burr would say "Anne what do you think?" on a 3-way conference call and both of us would respond, so I was referred to as, "Anne Farrar" - guess who came up with that boring name?! (1 guess) and Anne Bell was Realtor Anne!
Realtor Anne - I would totally buy you those Tory Birch flats as a gift if I could. *
Side Note 2- For those girls engaged, dating, single buy Tory Birch flats BEFORE you get married. This is of up most importance. (also buy.....jeans, bags, coats, and as many facials as your blackheads can handle....don't lie everyone has 'em)
So, we officially sold the house and we no longer have to think about it or broken water mains. And....I never have to remember the day the movers came 24 hours early thanks to Mr. Genius. Come to think of it, he still owes me a Birkin bag for that mistake! Then I go finally go to the junior league meetings in London - just kidding.
It will be a little sad that our house is gone, but its nice to not have to worry about it. Here were my highs and lows of the house *
*Side Note 3 - To my camp friends who know who highs and lows are - never ask the Farrar dinner table to talk about the highs and lows of their day, they are terrible at it and moan and groan and make up FAKE highs and lows just to get out of it. (BATTEN I'm talking to you! Oh, you too Steve!) You should practice, we will play at Christmas time :-)
Highs:
(1) First house with Burr
(2) Awesome laundry room
(3) Painting the cabinets *
*Side Note 4 - I hope this counts because I did technically paint them, its just that Alley had to paint over them because I'm not exactly "artistic" If our children want to learn how to draw more than just a stick figure I need to start saving for art classes, because their mama don't have it. Oh, and I can draw boxes, triangles, and circles - thanks to international tax. (Yes, you draw in tax - don't you Annette?!)
Lows:
(1) Water main breaking
(2) Heat Breaking *
*Side Note 5 - This cannot be in Burr's low because he spent the entire week of July (yes Charlotte in July) in San Fran so I spent the entire week at JJ's - love ya!
(3) Garden without Gardener *
*Side Note 6 - I mean if you are going to sell your house with a beautiful garden it should come with a Gardner. Realtor Anne - can you make that happen on our next house? Its was truly sad when my mom and mother-in-law, and aunts, etc. all came and said "You should do this, you should do this..." to your garden and then I would just fail. Although, there could still be hope I'm not doing too badly on my new flat plant - Jemima - she is still kicking!
Much love,
MUAH
Anne
PS - I literally type @ for every " - through this whole post - thanks to the US compute rI am on now vs. the UK keyboard I was on all day - I mean this is just wrong! You don't switch peoples drive to reverse in cars, don't switch my keys. There should be a universal keyboard...a.rgh
PPS - Its Friday night and I am home, blowing my nose, coughing, etc. its really pathetic. I told Burr to leave because I promise I am zero fun....I'm sure he will blog about what a lovely sick person I am. (Imagine living with Blair Waldorf on a bad day for a week!)
PPPS - If you still don't know who Blair Waldorf is and you are going to keep reading the blog, please please watch just one tiny episode of Gossip Girl and you'll get it. Leggings are not PAnts!
I'm out.
