I'm an excellent house shopper because I can look at the bones of the house and not get distracted by the current decor. And then I assess curb appeal, flow of the layout and how much work it'll take to get it to where I want it.
Outdoor conditioning was killer, glad it was an "easy" start. LOL! Then a deep tissue, trigger point massage. I am sore today but still went to PB class because I don't want to stiffen up even more.
P.S. to Kerry if you're here--I ordered the Bacon Explosion! Should arrive Friday, my mouth is already watering.

Pearl! I wish you were here to house shop! I made poor Fergie come look at a few, but he looks at things like structure, and carpentry, etc... smile. Oh, yea, that's important, too!? I don't want to burn him out, though...
Naw. Just look at the cosmetics. Then you get a house like mine with windows buried in the walls and roofing held together with twine and bubblegum. LOL.
What was that Red Green show quote?
"If women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy" (or something like that.)
Go into the living room and yell... "Schmoop!" If the house doesn't die laughing, it's built strong!
Mindfull has a different way of home inspection. She chats it up with the home owner and doesn't really concern herself with anything but closet space....
--Fergie /oh yeah... and a garage big enough to park in.
PEARL - We are SO NOT ON THE SAME PAGE! I'm done w/projects. No more projects. I want it done when I walk in. BTDT, and DONE! I admire your being able to see through current decor... I guess I'm a bit too shallow? Good job on the training!!! I'm down 2 more lbs! All of my clothes are starting to sag, including my bras, which isn't good.
ROB - Funny you should mention windows... I almost had a water balloon through my office window yesterday. Mom got loud!!!!
LUV - Priorities!!!
JEFF - I like that. You'd better watch it, or we'll show up at your meet-up, and make you deal with it in person! LoL

I can't even reply to this, for fear of Jeff's comment!!!
And, I do tend to get off task once I start chatting. Closet space is good, though. AND, the garage to fit in!!!
So, today's search went EXCELLENT!!! I LOVED one, really liked one, and have a GREAT condo back-up. Now, just to figure out if I can pay for them! I should know within a day or two...
I just finalized a weekend visitation schedule w/H for the boys. I'm not in love with it, but, considering he still, for the most part, supports us, and has to be out of town most of the week (or DOES he?), I'll play the game. I have the boys all week, since they're home from school for summer break, and he'll have them a good portion of the weekend, but NOT overnight, and I still get to enjoy their games. I will look on the positive side. I'll have some time to myself!!! YEA!

The average woman would rather have beauty than brains, because the average man can see better than he can think.
Yea for self-time! It really is necessary even if I neglected to carve out me-time for years...now that I have it, I love it.
I can see how things could be in a house, but I much prefer move-in ready. My current house is the first house where I did NOTHING prior to move in. We did buy a new construction home in Wichita once where we bought during construction, so got to pick out paint colors, countertops, light fixtures, etc. That was fun. But the unfinished basement was not great, Dan had to finish it himself...this house even had paint colors I liked! ;)Definitely convenient.

Pearl! I know PB is something with ballet and pointe (at least I think it is!) but can't remember what it is called!?! I would like to look up something like that in my area. Took dancing from age 3-17 and danced in college, I miss some of that training even if I didn't much like it back then!
