so yeah, making it all official and stuff...

Just a general public service announcement since it's been a long time since I've posted anything fic-like here (as opposed to communities), and it's probably going to be a while longer before I get back to anything fic-like ( Read more... )

Good luck with all that! I graduated the first Saturday of this month, finally, even though the date on my diploma is totally wrong - so I might still be ok for MLIS classes this fall. We'll see.

We're currently house-hunting. Hopefully, will have something positive to tell you about that soon. OMG what they want for these things is pure insanity! Did you know that 100k won't even get you a house that isn't falling apart ? :P

Oh man, yeah, unfortunately I found that out through painful experience myself. Mine cost me $133K and it clearly did not get far enough up the price scale to make it into the "not falling apart" category! ^^;;;;

Have you tried checking around the foreclosure sites? At least folks who are trying to buy now have got foreclosures to bring some of the prices somewhere back around sane; I picked apparently the absolute worst time in history to buy my house in '06. But hopefully things won't keep dropping any further once you get a place (knock on wood)...

I didn't know there were foreclosure sites! Will look into that!
I found my dream house Thursday but someone else bought it while I was looking at it - literally. :( They have a week to decide but they would be insane to not take it.
We are looking at another that is a foreclosure that is pretty nice except for one thing: The entire downstairs will have to have the floor redone because someone didn't know what they were doing and put down the wrong kind of floor which has since buckled up and you can't really walk across it without a problem. Maybe we can get it pretty cheap for that, though. Maybe.

How is Bunterkitty?

We brought a bettafish home with us last night. He is named Alucard :P

oh jeez. @_@ Sorry to hear about the timing! Was it the floor plan, the location, the decor, or all of the above? (Floor plan is possibly easiest to duplicate; even my pre-WWII-building-boom house has got dozens and dozens of clones of itself in the area.)

Bunterkitty is very cranky about something I am very happy about - they are finally tearing up the street in front of my house to replace the 1931 crumbling sewer system with something much bigger and better able to handle floodrains! So after all that racket and thunking is done, both Bunter and I will be much happier campers and I can give more serious thought to actually doing something with the Basement of Doom.

...XD and Bunter has just caught himself the first moth of the season. Apparently everything is better once you have a pawful (though not a mouthful) of moth. Go figure.

Well, it was pretty much all of those things. It was in a good neighborhood, closeish to work, an older house that had been completely remodeled, with a nice yard and a garage and a workshop. Ah well.

Yay for redone sewer systems; those are never to be underestimated!

We have fuzzy babies under our back porch! A wild mamakitty has three cute stripey babies living there. And sometimes they sleep under our bikes!
