Another House

Yep. That's what I want. HA! And my chums just uttered as their mouths dropped: "You just bought that house less than a year ago!"

Well, yes-yes, I did. OK, I am not going out buy another house today, tomorrow next week or even next month. Even tho I drove past a house, in a neighborhood I liked as I savored a Banana Cream Pie Blizzard. See, I realize gotta sell this one first. Which might be a bit more difficult, with economy and all, but it has just one bathroom.

So as I watched HGTV today-and another chum just said, "Oh no, she's watching THAT again!" I digress. It was the show where folks fix up their place to sell it. With the selling couple, they also had one bathroom. The instruction was to make the bathroom the showplace. What's funny is, the bathroom's color was the color I wanted to paint mine. Alas, the HGTV Lady said, that was a big no. They needed something more soothing--which wound up being a color similar to the color I have now.

Honestly, I do love my little bungalow. It does provide my needs. Even have a sprinkler system. Don't know how it works, plus my water bill went sky high when I did use it. I digress. Got good neighbors. Street is quiet. Had no problems. So what's my deal? My bungalow doesn't have all I want--which first and foremost is a master bathroom. Sure, I could add one on. I've seen houses with add-ons in the neighborhood. You kinda know they're add-ons.

Anyway, it's a ponder. Not happening today. There would be alot of work involved and I'm not up to all that. So everybody take a deep breath. I've yet to really decorate this bungalow. So no real hurry to get another house. I am content with what the house provides--just being a little selfish because of the wants to enhance it all the more.

In the meantime--time to hit the couch, the remote and debate whether or not I'll try to burn another Duraflame log. The first and only time I've done it, nearly burnt the house down because I didn't have the chimney thingy open. I ain't feeling burning down the house to get another one.

I can wait.

Clean House...

I ain't got one. Not as I would like.

It's just me and cats. So I asked the chum who helped me with my flooring, and who's hubby waits for me to give him the go ahead to smash in my wall so my window can go in-how DOES she keep her house clean??? Plus her hubby, there's two little boys, plus dogs. She gave me great advice-- 'zones.' She works on her 'zones' everyday.

That may work for me. Break my house done, into each 'zone'--outside of the stuff I do everyday--litter box duty, kitchen stuff etc. Make a menu for each one. So I won't be so overwhelmed! I mean, I actually wanted a BIGGER house!

Yep--it may just work. Heaven knows, that steam cleaner I bought for my birthday, makes a fine, darn accessory......my carpet is a whole 'zone.' That other room with laminate may be calling me, afterall.

Now, I need to zip on out to the kitchen, so I can 'zone' up to some popcorn!

Zones.....yep, they may just work!

Home Closing....

Tomorrow--at High Noon, I close on my first Home. I am excited. Scared. Eager. My apartment is in such disaray. Just want to lock the door and leave everything---well, everything except plants and cats---yet, I'll be adult. I clear out the clutter. Adult. Gee.

Prior to Close, I do my Six Month Blood Draw. To make sure everything is doing well. Then I walk across the Heart Clinic's lobby, for my coumadin check. I've been great with that--'in the range'--with the whole Vitamin K business. Took awhile to get regulated. To not be scared of eating a leaf of spinach. Vitamin K . Have too much of it, your blood thickens, too little, your blood thins. I've had it 'just right' for the last few months. God is good.

Psalms 50:15

Tomorrow--I close on my first home. WOW. This little guy, will pick out his window. Then all will be right with the world...and besides tomorrow night, I will have my house keys, chocolate covered strawberry ice cream, and Dancing With the Stars...yes, all will be right with the world.
