holy smokes!: September 2006 Archives

so i did it finally.  thomas has been trying to convince me for months to try and sell the purses that i make and normally give as gifts.

so. officially, as of last night, i put a purse on ebay.  here's the thing though, what if no one bids?  what if no one likes my wares?  there is some mighty competition out there on ebay.

i know that i can always find a home for the bags i make but none the less, i am not a business savvy woman.  it is weird but now i am in business.

i am officially a bag lady!

well.  we did it.  we took the plunge and we are in escrow.

this of course after we announced that we were off the market and not interested in buying a house.  this after crunching numbers and proclaiming ourselves too poor for home ownership.  this after looking around at houses on the market and not seeing anything we wanted.

so what happens.  we continued to look even though we weren't interested in buying a house.  we figured out that we could afford it even though we are poor teachers.  we found a house in the over-saturated-the houses aren't moving- the sellers are desperate market even though we were sure there was nothing in the area we love.

we put out an offer and he accepted it.  we are in escrow.  we will be closing soon on a house.  we will be home owners.  OH MY GOD!  and no, we are not having a baby soon.  i am way to excited about having the house and getting it decorated, and getting settled, and gardening, and relaxing in it to even think about a baby.

did i say OH MY GOD?!?!  never, and i mean never, say never.
