House?

Jan 24, 2007 10:44

Well - we are buying one. I never really thought we would, but we put an offer on one and it's been accepted. We got our inspection and made 1 repair request based on that. We've filled out papers for the mortgage company and the title company and all that remains (I believe) is to get homeowner's insurance. This feels really surreal. Moving seems like a good time to document all of our stuff for the insurance policy, but guess we could do it now. We have been realizing that, after years of a nomadic existance where all of our belongings fit into the trunks of our cars, we finally have stuff we care about that would be difficult to quickly replace if something were to happen to any of it. It's finally hitting me - OMG, we're buying a house and we have 'stuff'. Not too much though - we could still fit fairly easily in a 1 bdrm. The new place will have room for the exercise equipment though which isn't such a big deal to me since I started going to the gym, but N would miss it.

Speaking of going to the gym... I've been going very regularly since Sept. I work 6:30 to 3:30 so I can head to the gym on my way home. I've missed for holidays, weather and appts, but otherwise I'm generally there. Honestly - however did I get through the week before I started going? By the time I get outta work I am literally jonesin' for some exertion - I'm counting down the time in the afternoon until I can get out of there and go work out. I don't know how I coped before. Plus now I'm full of energy when I get home and don't just want to flop on the couch and listlessly surf the 'net all evening. I used to have a gym phobia and an inferiority complex about working out with all the 'beautiful people' (lol), but I'm so glad I got over it (admittedly I feel a little ridiculous about it now) and started going.
