I bought a tree for my husband's birthday. It's a dogwood. He sees it, in the woods or in a yard, and asks me its name nearly every time. "It's a dogwood", I say. He loves them, but can't remember the name, I think because they look different in every season. Home is not a place. Peace can be found during tumult through. I have more fortitude than I thought I did.

The papers are signed, all we need to do is wait. The bank will decide, in their time, if they will accept our offer for the house. If the bell is going to ring at your kids school and you are running behind, those few minutes seem lightning-bolt fast. If you are stopped at a stop light, the same amount of time can drag on, and on. If you are carrying your first.

Moving is a pain and a part of it is people are weird about their stuff. I'm going to complain a bit. Number one, when we got to our new house last night to do a few chores, we realized that the dishwasher is not hooked up. I was lamenting during escrow that the appliances don't match (OCD) and when we arrived after escrow they did match. Funny? Why would someone do that? To fix it for me. All of this w...

We are leaving for a long time to go to Eastern Europe. This weekend we will make a short sale offer on the house we live in, for what we feel is a screaming deal! I think we will be fine on the details of the transaction, because it will take a long time to deal with the bank. So there you have it! This house if it is mine. I've had a year to think about it!

In my last post I noted that there are some fundamental flaws with buying a house now. The main one is our immediate comfort (which is short-sighted, I get it). The second is that the housing market continues to plummet. The value of homes continue to decline. YES, yes I would! We are sacrificing housing stability for value. Sunday, May 29, 2011.

I understand that they want to sell their house, and that it has nothing to do with my housekeeping and decorating ability (it is my full-time job so it looks nice in here). They have been generous letting us live here rent-free. I just don't want to move during the holiday season. Don't expect any gifts or a decorated tree from me this year.
