The Brat is Back!!!

Hi all - I have news:

We are opening escrow on the house tomorrow!!! (I must be crazy!) However, the house is very old, so I am waiting to see what the pest & home inspectors have to say before I decide for sure to go ahead with the purchase. I don't mind putting some money into the house, but I don't want to buy a money pit... It's a big purchase, and I want to make sure I go into it with eyes wide open.

So, there you have....you can go back to bickering, now.

UPDATE: Well, the home inspection left a lot to be desired. Let's just say that I'm not all that keen on repairing the foundation, replacing the roof, fixing the plumbing, and removing the dry rot...bleah! The search begins anew!!!

See, You Don't Need Me

Wow, 150+ posts...you guys do just fine on your own. Good thing, too since I have been incredibly derelict in my duties.

I wish I had an excuse. Firstly, I was just getting a little burnt out by all of the bickering, but mostly I have been geeking out on "Doctor Who" and "Torchwood". Sorry, I wish I had a better reason for my absence, but there it is. I am a total Sci Fi nerd, and I make no apologies for that.

No news on the house, except that the seller's bank has assigned the file to someone, so I might be hearing something in the next few weeks...or not.

Here's a little something to get you going: Do you believe there are lifeforms that exist in the rest of the universe?

Big News, Everybody!

Well, only if you care about me as much as I do - which would be troubling...

Today, I put on offer on the cutest house ever in the entire world!!! A house - a whole house, with a yard, and a basement, and a porch, and fruit trees, and a roof, and things that I'll probably have to paint and repair and.....sorry, hyperventilated a bit there. It's a daunting idea, but the house is just perfect for me and my kitties! The seller has accepted my offer, but it's another short sale (I'm starting to wonder if there's any other kind), so it's up to the bank, now. That's cool, I still have to wrap my brain around owning a HOUSE instead of a condo...

So, keep your fingers crossed for me, please!

Okay, back to your regularly scheduled programming...
