Hap(orrified) Homeowner

Hi. I have been packing and house hunting and not cooking at all, I'm sorry if you've missed me. I've barely even been eating at all. I know, sweet. But I have bought a house. If all goes well with the inspections and everything I'll be moving in in a month. There is a pool. And a built in barbecue and outdoor fridge.

The kitchen is not pretty but big and new and very functional and I plan to paint all the cabinets. And by I, I don't mean I. So soon there will probably be magical things coming out of there with a real hot oven and 6 burners and all that.

Maybe I'll even talk about my laundry now that I have brand new front loading copper colored high efficiency machines. They come with the house. As do the plants and the patio furniture and the light fixtures and the window treatments. Who knew? Here's a thing though. Did you ever notice how when you buy a house for say like $500,000 (not what I am doing) you actually pay like a million and a half dollars for it? That's the little stinger they don't tell you about. Ever. I had to use a calculator.

oh and p.s. if anyone wants a Kenmore elite washer and gas dryer that are very clean and functional and were bought about 3 years ago, I am selling them for $400. Maybe you can get a deal because you're my friend. I'm also selling my Kenmore gas grill for $50. And there will be a garage sale on Nov 2 at my old shitty house 4548 Laurelgrove. Tell your friends.

Is this the same house as the link you sent me? If so, your pictures do it even more justice than the website did! I wish I hadn't been eating much lately. I polished off a giant bag of baked cheetos and about 3 slices of birthday cake this weekend. (Not to mention pizza, hot dogs, mexican food....that was all saturday)

I used to think to myself wow, I had a hot dog, pizza and ice cream today. All in one day. Some people avoid those foods their whole life for health reasons. It's nice to feel like you're really living, isn't it?
