I was right about one thing

…the negotiations were short.

It doesn’t look like the house I had termed “Boat House” is going to be mine. After taking my uncle with me to do a little more looking around, we have decided that the owner is asking too much. He’s only willing to go down to $89K, which is totally doable, but not for that house. It still needs a couple of structural things and I’m not the chick to get into that kind of work.

Oh well….more houses await. I’ve not done hardly any LJ commenting, and I’m very sorry for that. Maybe I’ll get back on track soon. *pouts*

Top 5

Taken from : What five celebrities would you fool around with, provided your partner had a similar list? If you’re single you can still respond since this is purely hypothetical.. Mind you, I said celebrities, not the characters they played. I will allow Time Warp Substitutions, though. Also if you’re bisexual you don’t get to make a separate list for either gender. Five and only five. It’s kinda stoopid but if you’ve read this far you must be REALLY bored so you may as well do it.


1. Sean Bean

2. David Beckham

3. Hayden Christensen*

4. Eminem TWS. Simon Le Bon

5. David Wenham

*Shut UP! It’s my list. It’s not like any of the others would be so eager either!

I can’t believe how blond my list is.:eek:

The ‘Burbs

We don’t really have ‘Burbs here, because we have no real cities…

I’ve found the house for me, I think. I’ve been to see it twice and out of all the ones I’ve looked at, I definitely like it most and there are just a couple of minor things I will change. It’s a 3BR/2Bath house. It has new hardwood floors, two gas-log fireplaces, bonus room, central air, all the usual includes, and they’re leaving $5K worth of dining room furniture. I’m going to set up a meeting with him to get the negotiations on paper, as he has already stated that the price is “very negotiable”.

I’m really dreading the meeting. My father won’t go with me; and with my negotiation skills, instead of the $94K he’s asking, I’ll end up agreeing to pay $107K or something. *sigh* Then the real fun begins….applying for the loan. I’ll have to print tax returns from this computer, my old computer, and possibly take a trip to NC to dig out my W-2 forms from 2002. Ugh.

If I make it through all of this, like Jesse said, we will have one hell of a housewarming! :bubbly:
