Rage Against the Minivan: A Fair to Remember

http://www.rageagainsttheminivan.com/2009/07/fairly-outnumbered.html

A Fair to Remember. I am slowly recovering from the Frenzy of Fair we were involved in last week. I am sitting here trying to think of how to explain what lead me to the fair, not once, but TWICE, in one week. Really, I have nothing to say for myself. Mostly I blame Rosie, my housekeeper. Rosie cleans my house twice a month on Wednesday mornings, in order to keep me from. Or "How many liquids can one person spill in the fridge in fourteen days? We hurried to the car, where I sat them down, buckled them i...

LOVE IN THE TIME OF FORECLOSURE: How to know when to declare bankruptcy

http://loveinthetimeofforeclosure.blogspot.com/2012/12/how-to-know-when-to-declare-bankruptcy.html

Saturday, December 8, 2012. How to know when to declare bankruptcy. This morning Bob said to me, "You know, if we had declared bankruptcy earlier we could have stayed in our house at least six months longer.". I responded, "Yeah. Maybe. There are a million if only's. Oh well.". Two things about that. 1 It has been four years and we are still replaying our every move like a chess game that just won't quit. We hadn't dumped all of our savings into a renovation. We had never bought the house. Perhaps we fee...

LOVE IN THE TIME OF FORECLOSURE: Good thing the foreclosure crisis has been resolved!

http://loveinthetimeofforeclosure.blogspot.com/2012/10/good-thing-foreclosure-crisis-has-been.html

Saturday, October 20, 2012. Good thing the foreclosure crisis has been resolved! Sarcasm, folks. Of course it hasn't been resolved. But, listening to the presidential debates and the main talking points this election, you'd think it had been. BECAUSE NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT IT. Or is it just me? No No Nopey. Nope. I wouldn't miss that. If either candidate had a brilliant plan for housing, it wouldn't matter how distracted I've been by child rearing, I would know about it. EVERYONE would know about it.

LOVE IN THE TIME OF FORECLOSURE: OUR JOURNEY

http://loveinthetimeofforeclosure.blogspot.com/p/our-journey.html

We once owned a 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath mid-century modern home in the Silver Lake neighborhood of Los Angeles. It had views of the Hollywood sign, the Griffith Park Observatory and the San Gabriel Mountains. We loved this house. We were sure it was not only where we would be starting a family but also a wonderful investment. All we could was sell. We kicked it into high gear. Lowered the price of the house into short sale territory, had weekly open houses and even tried to market the house as a location...

LOVE IN THE TIME OF FORECLOSURE: The Face of Foreclosure- Part 1

http://loveinthetimeofforeclosure.blogspot.com/2009/05/face-of-foreclosure-part-1.html

Tuesday, May 26, 2009. The Face of Foreclosure- Part 1. It's Memorial Day and I'm at a BBQ sitting at a table outside next to a couple of friends picking the meat off the delicious smoked ribs, trying not to think or talk about any of this. This. You know. The house, foreclosure, where we'll go, when we're leaving, what's happening, etc. I'm in no mood to talk about it. No mood at all. Why? Because I've traveled to the dark side. It happened Sunday night. What happened Sunday night? What the hell is this?
