In It Must Be Another Day, Because Something Changed, it turns out our house was auctioned of to another bank, but we are keeping it, as they are refinancing us at a mere $60 more a month.
I know this is good news, and husband is over the moon...but I am not entirely pleased by it. Not a logical response, but...

On the plus side, Erin, you guys can probably sell it when the market is better and move into a more desirable place without doing it under the gun. Somewhere down the line you'll have that place that feels like yours. Is it something you've talked about with your DH?
You already know by your own reaction that moving to a new place is your true desire. So, what David said.
Not in those exact terms, but yes, he does know, and has promised to fix and paint some things that are particularly egregious.
It'll be all right. I'm just all UPdown UPdown, NOW this, now THAT...
Ugh.
Also, I am going to put on my Big Girl Bitch Pants and start just scrapping all of her shit. Just a big ol' Craigslist/garage sale/Freecycle for all.
At least you don't have to pack.
True.
Also not going to be able to afford a minivaca to NYC, more's the pity.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Dude, the circumstances you've been in have been doing that, of course you are!
Making that house yours (plural you) seems like the right thing to do, and clearing out the crap that doesn't belong there is an excellent step towards that.
I know, Truds. But ain't nothing can be done.
