Oh, the price of that house!
I walked past a house today that will be open tomorrow. It was listed as a great investment opportunity (i.e., needs a fair amount of work), 3/2, on a decent street (better than mine) but not an awesome neighborhood. $745K.
Apparently a huge percentage of the houses in the area are getting bought by investers, who fix them up fast and turn them into rental properties to take advantage of the tech boom. Which is why I'm probably going to stay right where I am for the next several years: the market is out of control and I can't afford to move.
Yeah, for where it is that house is a little bit high. That house in the neighborhood I live in now would be $450K easily.
But I can't fetch them from after school (which I do 4 days a week),
After school care until dad can fetch them? Take the school bus home and have a local teenager for a few hours?
I can't believe prices are so high in Cincinnati! They're still very cheap (relatively) in Indiana. (But crazy here in Seattle)
I just got back from spending All The Money at Target and Costco. The firm is going to pay me back for most of it, but cat litter was on sale at Costco and car food was on sale at Target so I went overboard on both.
Time to think of free things to do for the rest of the weekend.
What kind of food does your car eat?

What kind of food does your car eat?
The sad part is I read that and just kinda went "yeah, sure, car food, like junk food that you eat in the car?" and it didn't occur to me until I read Amy's post that it was a typo!
For a minute even I thought, Is she talking about motor oil? Windshield wiper fluid?
Costco has cheap gas, so I thought she had just reversed the stores.
I have Taken Steps toward Operation: Adult Sofa Purchase! I sat on some floor models and got some swatches at both Crate & Barrel and West Elm! Am leaning toward this one in a color to be determined, but not leaning hard enough to take advantage of the free delivery that ends tomorrow.
