    House closing in two hours!

    DH and I are closing on our first house in two hours! Please wish us luck. I really hope everything goes smoothly, because we're living in boxes as it is. Our duplex is a mess, and I can't wait to get into our new place!

    I told DH he has to carry me over the doorframe. His response, "But you're getting too heavy." (I'm pregnant.) He's in trouble for that one.

    Best of luck with the closing! Just be prepared to sign, sign, sign... I just remember this sea of papers to sign and a bunch of checks to write, then all of a sudden we had keys!

    (By the way, I am happy for your big purchase, but a bit disappointed because I thought the thread was titled "House CLEANING in two hours!" I was really looking forward to some magic formula or super secret successful tips for quick cleaning, as my house is a wreck! Again, very happy for you. Sad for my messy house! )

    Thanks for the well wishes!

    AndreaU, you made me laugh. If only there were such a magic formula.

    The best secret I know to house cleaning is to HIRE a cleaning service. My cleaning lady is coming today
