It’s not going to be cheap, but it’ll be so nice to finally have my own home, that I’m not renting (read: tossing money into the shitter), and that I can do with as I please (within bounds of the law, that is – though there won’t be any neighborhood association for me to deal with, that’s a deciding factor). I’ve got the preapproval paperwork, which I’ll fill out and send back in over the next couple of days. I’ve picked out a dozen or so initial houses, sent them to my agent, and she’s doing some research on them now to get their status, and set up appointments for viewing. I’m a bit concerned about the finances, as I don’t have that much right now (> $10,000). I’d like to have a nice down payment, but I just don’t have the cash right now. I’ll work it out there, though. I’m concerned, but not worried.

There are a lot of other things going on right now, which contribute to my thoughtful mood, none of which I’ll go into here. For those who know us, reading between the lines on our blogs will tell the tale, for the rest, you really probably don’t care anyway. Suffice to say, for now, that I stole the idea for listing music and mood from livejournal (where I have an account, which I just don’t use). I’m thinking about working out some sort of cross-posting tool between this site and that… I know it can be done, but I’ll have to work on it.

Until next time…
