Flight of the Conchords is stuck in our heads

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

We’ve been watching Flight of the Conchords lately.  It started with Season 2 that Lori wonderfully brought home one day, just out of the blue.  And once that ran out we had to get our fix from season 1 since we haven’t seen all of them.  It was a few days ago that we say the Leggy Blonde episode, but it’s been stuck in our heads all day today.   It’s Lori’s favorite so far, and here it is . . .

No house :(

The bank (They own the house we wanted . . . still want) decided not to take our offer, instead going with someone else. That stinks! Somebody just got a house for somewhere under $100,000 less than it’s worth and it wasn’t us.

Our agent says there are more fish in the sea, but we aren’t seeing ‘em. Even with all of the fancy sonar (website with a map of all the houses we can afford) there is nothing. We would have better luck if we were on one of those tv shows where they look for houses, because then people would see how pitiful we are and send us money.

Funtime

House Hunting

Sunday, January 10th, 2010

For the past few months we’ve been looking at houses with our awesome agent Tina.  Our lease is up at our apartment (we’re moving to month-to-month now) so we’re taking the oportunity to move on.  We’d like more room, bathroms, and privacy - like being loud without disturbing other people.

Well we’ve found one.  It took looking at a lot of bad ones but this one is great!  It’s priced well and fits our needs: plenty of rooms, lots of bathrooms, big kitchen, backyard for a pool, and an unfinished basement big enough for a putt-putt course!  Right now we’re getting with the bank about the loan paperwork so we can put in a bid tomorrow.  Everyone cross your fingers that nobody else has found this beaut, and we’re the only ones bidding!
