I did say I wanted this year to be exciting...
Phase II in Operation Grow-Up-And-Find-My-Own-Space: Leg work
I met with Jonna the adorable realtor (old friend of my sister's from college) and her sidekick the pre-approved loan guy (who for some reason kept using my first name through our meeting even though we were the only ones in the room), and I came to the conclusion that if it will save me money, I'll gladly shovel my own snow and mow my own grass. So today, I'm looking at three different houses - One at Randolph and 35E, one in Midway, and one in Minneapolis. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the one in Midway, because I'd like to borrow sugar from Gwerold whenever I need to.
Meanwhile, I've taken my parents up on their offer to stay at their house during the process, so that I can save a little more money in case I need to buy a refrigerator. I just hope Hamish doesn't do anything to make Mom hate him enough to turn him into a violin.
In other news, on their last day in town, my sister and her wife insisted on taking me off of OkCupid and putting me on match.com, where there will hopefully be fewer swingers. I made sure to include in my profile that I will not consider anyone who thought Revenge of the Sith was a good movie. So far, I've been contacted by one entomologist who thought it was an okay (not good) movie, and one so-called English major who actually used the term "could of" when he meant to say "could've." I'm assuming he did this ironically.
