New house number two....

"I'm so proud of you", Brock Smeaton, my realtor, said. "So proud that you went with your gut and decided to walk away from the other property even though everyone was urging you to buy it".

Me too. And the one I have an accepted offer on now (pending home inspection on Friday) - it feels good. I don't wake up in the middle of the night all sweaty and scared. I woke up this morning all excited and happy!

So, for everyone, here are the pictures!

So....

I decided not to buy the house. I woke up at 3:30am a few nights ago with a sense of dread and dismay, which I didn't think should be the sentiments experienced by a future home owner. So I backed out. After listening to what everyone had to say... I realized that in the end, it would be mine to buy and mine to live with, and this wasn't the area that worked for me. For my sanity.. I need earth not pavement, and trees not manicured lawns.

My house will come on the market. I will be able to buy something. Want to sell your house, anyone? :-)

Gadget Girl No More?

OMG here it is here it is for real! I need it need it need it :-)

On another note. I think I just bought a house. So.. no more money for gadgets, I guess....

OMG this is the scariest thing I've done in a long long time.... Wish me luck, tell me I'm not crazy...

Oh well, maybe the bank will tell me I can't have it. Will that be a disappointment? Or a relief? At this point, I'm not sure. :-)

Seems like a lot of things are changing lately. And I'm not sure I've let myself deal with it. I wonder if going with the flow, see what happens, happy-go-lucky is always the right thing to do - isn't it just a nice way of saying you're choosing the path of least resistance?

I could package it, and call it destiny. I could package it and call it fate. I could package it, and say God will lead me where She wants me to go.

"If it is meant to be, it will be", someone said. "Envision, set goals, target", someone said. "Don't attach yourself to the outcomes, and you will find happiness", someone said. "Actively search for outcomes, and you will find happiness", someone said. "You deserve so much happiness", someone said. "Live in the moment", someone said.

"Seek not to be consoled but to console", someone said.
"What goes around, comes around", someone said.

"You are inconsiderate, self-centered, dishonest and unreliable", someone said.

"I love you", someone said.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Does it? What the heck did Paul know about such things :-)

But... it seems there is a solution to everything. Feeling blue? :-)
