I cannot believe it. I’m looking at my computer screen, numb with shock. I’ve spent the last 30 minutes getting ready for school while silenced by the enormity of what transpired last night. The Mountain Home Bombers — my high school alma mater — managed to defeat our archrival, the Harrison Goblins, AGAIN last night. …

I wish my parents were here (in Texas). Even though that would mean their daily average temperature would shoot up at least, oh, five degrees or so. (Sorry Ma & Pa!) Daniel’s parents are great, and my friends are great, but little can compare to the soothing presence of my mom and dad. And, of …

Today was the inspection on the house I’m trying to buy. It didn’t turn up a lot of problems, but there were a couple of things that definitely need to be looked at and/or fixed soon. It was also the day the lender sent out their appraiser. And, because of those two things, I spent …

All of the offer/counteroffer paperwork is essentially done, so I’m ready to share some photos. I thought about providing the Realtor.com link and/or MLS number, but I then realized that this isn’t really a private forum and random stalker people could come hunt me down at the new abode with that sort of info.

Well, in an unexpectedly quick response to last night’s offer on the *fantastic* house in Allen … Bruce (realtor guy extraordinaire) called a short while ago to give me the good news … Namely, the owner accepted the offer with only one slight amendment — he accepted my suggested selling price ($2,500 below asking), but …

Tonight, Daniel and I went to look at a house just over the Plano-Allen line (in other words, actually *in* Allen) that we saw from the outside last night and *LOVED*. The interior was every bit as we’d expected — nay, *hoped* — it would be, so we adjourned from our tour to the realtor’s …

… I’ve barely had time to blog. Obviously. Daniel and I continue our adventures looking for a house. After going through a couple of realtors (already), I believe we’ve found one we like and hope to go see one house in particular tomorrow. There’s a short list of maybe six or eight that we’re interested …

I promised school updates, but from now on those will be over on the Dr. Liz (in progress) blog.

There are many things that could fall under this category, and perhaps I’ll explore this as a semi-regular blog topic, but let me just give you one of the most important Rules For Not Pissing Me Off. Rule #1: NEVER correct my grammar, spelling, or syntax without first ensuring you’re right. This is not a …

Alright, alright, I’ve been MIA for a while. Sorry ’bout that. Will catch up today. Saturday night, Daniel, Paul, Sara and I went to see Green Day at the American Airlines Center. This was very much a Daniel thing, though I was happy to tag along and excited to go to my first concert (of …
