what a cute post.
or i'd hug you but your too far away and virtual hugging doesn't yet exist. :)
you'll find it. and when you do, it will all be worth it.
Oh...I remember going through this about 6 years ago. And we may be going through it again sometime in the next year. It's MADNESS, I tell you!
It's never easy. And it's such a massive purchase that you WANT it to be just right. I'm sure the perfect place is out there. It's just in another country entirely. :)
Rita, YOU are cute..my post was just a mwaaahhh - and you did hug me because I felt it.
Andrea, I'm pretty sure I'm staying where I am now...I'm already tired of searching and it's been what? a week? I can't even blog, it's all consuming!
Echrai me girl...you are so right, I would love to live in one of those brownstone like homes I saw in Italy...with wrought iron window boxes and beautiful stone walkways...doors with stained glass and incredible hardware...
I'm an old world girl in a sub-division world...
Frigging brilliant. Love the understated sucker-punch at the end.
Gee thanks Nilbo...all this house hunting has desiccated my creative juices so I appreciate the comment.
Funny stuff there, Mary. Thanks for the laugh.
Dashababy...now if you really want to laugh...read the Mourning Dove post and then go to Laurenbove.blogspot.com....
Maybe it's me but I have laughed over this all day....
