School Days

Well, I guess it had to happen. My free-wheeling summer is over, and it's back to school for me. It wasn't too difficult today - on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays I only have one class, and not until noon. Tomorrow I'm there from 8 to 3:30.

So, I think I mentioned we toured five houses yesterday with our realtor. Three of them were quite large, and two of those would be a boatload of work to get them looking good. The other didn't need as much work, but was too expensive even for the small amount of work it would require. Plus the fact that we'd have to buy out a furniture store just to outfit the place! The two we really liked are small. In fact, one of them we had to rule out completely for being too small, even though it was in a lovely neighborhood and in immaculate condition. One of the bedrooms wasn't big enough for a queen size bed. I mean, physically impossible to put a queen size bed in it!



Here's a shot of the inside of the other one we liked. Sunday night we thought we wanted to make an offer on it, but we slept on it. We're smart like that. It's still a contender, but we are going to keep looking. It's like this: sometimes when I'm shopping and see something I think I want to buy, I'll pick it up and carry it with me while I'm shopping. Quite often, by the time I'm done shopping and ready to check out, I find I've "owned" the object long enough, have lost interest, and can happily put it back on the shelf. Today I went back to the house to take pictures and measurements, and lo and behold, decided I could put it back on the shelf for now. The hunt continues.

Meanwhile, you may have guessed what the recommencing of school means for my blogging. Yes, spotty blogs. I'll do my best to keep up, but hope you guys will hang in there with me anyway!
