Coffee is on, want some?

Well Deborah really wanted to go. Since I have had too blow off way to many things with her the past few months and I value her friendship, I braved the fog and hiked over to Hampstead. We had fun, but the Kelly Bell Band sucked. They had a great selection of cover bands, too bad they couldn’t play them. She says some woman was checking me ( Read more... )

Seperated at Birth? tzel March 29 2003, 05:39:25 UTC

Um, I love home improvement/decorating. My dream is to have a house with a garage big enough to make into a workshop for woodworking, metalworking and possibly glass. Then snidegrrl will get a house and we'll be on Trading Spaces.

OH, btw tzel March 29 2003, 05:40:38 UTC

Yes, coffe would be lovely. Nice and strong, I hope.

Strong is the only way to drink it. :<)

Woo for home improvement! I just bought this house about a year and a half ago and I've had a wonderful time working on it (it's 70+ years old). I'd post pictures (which I force on everyone at every opportunity) except my old ISP finally figured out almost a year after I canceled that they'd never taken my webspace back. Oh well. I'll dig around and see if I can upload them somewhere else.

Be forewarned...I'll talk your ear off about my house. :D

Here you go...except that you'll have to register at Imagestation to view them. :D

Here I was going on about hardwood floors and you have them all over your house! Very nice, I love the darker woods and liked your front winsdows too. Thank you for letting me see the pics.

Your town looks cute, is it nice? Are you considered a local?

The story behind me getting this house is a long and involved one. Basically, I got talked out of bidding on it by my real estate agent and before I got around to demanding he put my bid in anyway, it was sold. A few months later, a friend of mine got a batch of listings from her aunt (who is a real estate agent) and she noticed that my house was among them...turns out the people who had a contract on the house backed out and it was up for sale again. Being a foreclosure, the bank was desperate to get rid of it...it had been on the market for almost a year, they'd already had one failed contract on it and winter was approaching again (this house is a bitch to heat). So, I got it...at the original bid price that my realtor talked me out of, saying the sellers wouldn't even consider a bid that low. No negotiations, nada. They just said OK ( ... )

Secret Passage! ubet_cha April 4 2003, 06:28:57 UTC

I'd be jealous of that too, even if it were useless. My parents bought an old Mennonite farm house, built in the 1860's, right before I graduated High School. Since then they have remodeled the place and nearly doubled its size. By no means is it my ideal set up, but I'm still impressed and a little jealous of what they have managed to do with the place. My townhouse is very nice, and I have a few things I plan on doing to it over the next few years, but its just not the same.

The whole problem with getting a dog, is one of time. I'm just not home enough and think it'd be cruel to get one, until I do. Can't wait!
