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:

Da Room Be Spinnin’

As it turns out, I got the job I bid on. I’ll now be counseling at my old high school. How very Buffy of me, eh?

I put in my loan application for a house today. I’m dreading what they have to say, but it will be good to know how much they’ll lend me. That way, I’ll be able to decide just how much house I can afford. I’m excited about it, but sickened at the same time. Anyone want to come room with me? I could get DOUBLE the house if I had a roomie, or even better, a man. Well, a man that has a job, money, savings…..something.

Anyway, wish me luck!

Wonka Once More!

I’m using my Wonka theme again. Why? Because Johnny Depp OWNED. I :love: :love: :love: the movie. The only negative part was the Oompa Loompas. The music (except for the Wonka theme) was gawdawful and I will fast forward through the songs upon subsequent viewing. Shameful, really. What a wasted opportunity.

Anyway, one thing I found a little disturbing was just how much I speak like Wonka. 😮 I’m going to have to rethink my speaking…

Oh, and I’ve admitted defeat. I’m buying a house here.
