What a crappy week so far! I am about over this head cold. I have officially run out of kleenex and have resorted to using a roll of toilet paper instead of going to the store to buy more. Call it lazy if you will LOL, but I already spent plenty of time and money at the grocery store for today.
On a happier note, my realtor has me in the system to send me email notifications of houses being listed or price changes in my area within in my price range. I got an automated email from her today on a house I was looking at last fall which disappeared off the market. I talked to my mom about it and she told me to book a showing!!! I'm not exactly ready to buy at this moment, but if I play my cards right, it just may work out!
In all honesty, I just need out of this house. I am 28 years old and tired of living with my parents. When I moved back in last November, I anticipated 6 months to a year back here before I moved on. I'm at 4 months and I'm really seriously done with it. I need to grow up, I need to quit piggy backing on my parents. They love me and will do anything for me, which is great, but really... it's time for me to be a grown up, to face life head on, to deal with my own mistakes, and quit running back to mom and dad for rescuing all the time.
Ok, so back to the house! Its a CUTE gray/white vinyl sided 1 1/2 story house, it's 2 bedrooms, 1 1/2 baths, full basement, formal dining, and laundry on the upper level, so NO walking 2 flights of stairs to the basement to do laundry!!! The people selling it bought it to flip it and ran out of money in the process and can no longer keep up the payments. They have completely redone everything but the kitchen, and the 1/2 bath on the main level (which currently doesn't work at all). The living room has brand new carpet and the formal dining room and 2 bedrooms all have refinished dark stained wood flooring. The master bedroom has a stained glass window. It also has a 2 car detached garage out back off the ally, and a parking slab out front off the main street. It has a nice sized open front porch that would be perfect for a swing, and it has a small enclosed 3 season porch on the rear.
Finances would be cutting it close, but I could always look into renting the spare bedroom to someone, or finally force myself to look for a 2nd job (last resort LOL).
I know I shouldn't get so excited over this, I have an email into my realtor to set up a time to go see it, and with my luck with houses over the last year, something will go wrong and I will not buy it. This is the 5th house I've found that I absolutely could see myself living in, the other 4 just didn't work out for one reason or another.
:) Okies, time to end my rambling and think about bed. Nyquil and Tylenol then BED!!!
