More Real Estate Ramblings

Well, it's been 29 days. I'm sorry I didn't give more details throughout the month. Sharing my knowledge of homebuying might have helped someone else. Not becasue I know so much, but because I understand so little, and can break it down for anyone as equally ignorant as myself.

Long story short; we bought a house! We will sign papers and get keys at 3 pm! I'd post a picture, but I don't have one (my sister "stole" my camera!).

Fave things: gorgeous YELLOW kitchen (no painting required with lotsa cabinets and a center island (for parties!), covered patio and back deck (needs to be cleaned and resealed, but that's a small price to pay for all the parties we'll have out there!)

There's normal stuff we like too: fireplace, 3 bedrooms, walk-in closets, 2-car garage, large master bedroom, the price$$!, owing a home, not living above Ed who likes to keep his bulldog on his balcony and only hose it off once a month, having room to put things where they belong, I could go on. I'll know more when we're actually in posession.

We're extremely excited and scared. It's too late to back out, but Cyrus comapred it to getting married. Our lives are totally changing, and we're happy about it, but it's a huge change and one can't help but have some reservations.

Green Acres

It seems the producers of Green Acres had it right!

"City dwellers are more likely to dream of living somewhere else, and men in rural areas are far happier living there than women."

(him)
Green Acres is the place to be. Farm livin' is the life for me.
Land spreadin' out so far and wide;
Keep Manhattan, just give me that countryside.

(her)
New York is where I'd rather stay. I get allergic smelling hay.
I just adore a penthouse view.
Dah-ling I love you, but give me Park Avenue.

The chores. The stores.
Fresh air! Time Square!
You are my wife. Good bye, city life.

Green Acres we are there!
