That sounds like my current bathroom. I didn't like it at first. Now, I wouldn't dream of changing it. You know, if I had a spare $800K to buy this place.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I ran the race today in 1 hour and 9 minutes. My pace was 13:49. Faster than I normally run.
We picked this house in one day--saw about a dozen houses but this one was the first one we looked at.

That is awesome Cash.
It took me a good five months to find my place. But I loved the process of looking at houses. It's just pleasing to my natural inner snoop.

Because books.
Go, Cash! Awesome. And how was the free beer?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Nice job, Cash!
I want to go househunting. Owning is such a remote possibility for me that I don't even think it would be depressing. Getting my snoop on is attractive.

I'd love to buy (because The Boy's house has many shortcomings), but in order to do that, The Boy would have to sell his house, because we can't handle 2 mortgages. And since this is a shitty market for sellers, it ain't happening.
Or I could buy and we could rent this place out, but I don't think we want to be landlords.

Good job, Cash!
I didn't buy the first place I looked at, because I could't really afford the first ones I looked at. I finally went with the second cheapest condo community I could find. I'm far from in love with it, but I get so much back in taxes each year that it makes it worthwhile to live here. When I get out of credit card debt, I may look at upgrading to a different community or putting in the things here that would make me like it a little better, like a washer/dryer hookup.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Go, Cashmere!

The place I currently live was the 4th of 5 apartments I looked at after finding out I was getting the boot from the Greenstone, and the only one that I really liked on a gut level right off the bat. The 5th had a similar floorplan and the required hardwood floors, but I liked the wall colors better and the big east-facing arched windows really sold me on it.
