house porn

-
so i'm addicted to house porn. well before we ever started looking for a house i was watching house hunters and hgtv. i would also frequent assorted online real estate sites. when were where looking at houses i would go online and look to see if anything new had been listed multiple times a day. i would also look at the million dollar homes and even homes that were just out of our price range. on occasion i would be chatting with a friend from college on facebook (hi colleen) and i would send her the links to the million dollar homes. she told me i was sending her house porn.
now i know i'm not the only one out there who is addicted to house porn. don't all speak up at once...

so anyway, last week my husband and i were having a discussion about a set he had worked on. (he builds sets for tv shows) he was referencing something and so of course i googled it. sadly i could find no real pictures of the set although i did find tons of video. i just don't really have the patience to watch the video to see the one thing that he was looking for so i gave up.
BUT
i found and amazing new blog to frequent!!

    Preaching to the choir on Hooked on Houses sister.

    House Hunters makes me want to scream at the TV and gnash my teeth!

    If one more dewy eyed couple with two dimes to their name speaks of granite, SS appliances, and double-sink in the master vanity as if it is the bare minimum for sustaining life and anything less is akin to living in a box under a bridge, I. Will. Scream.

    Otherwise, it's fab :)

what i won't miss about retail (part 1)

DISCLAIMER: this post is not about any particular retail company. it is what i have learned/ observed/ experienced at 14+ years at XX, 7 intermittent years throughout college and post graduation at XX, kinda remember as a seasonal one year in college at XX, and barely remember for about a month at XX (bc i thought i could do 2 jobs at the same time and at the time i couldn't) these are my opinions about the retail experience and are not 100% based on one company so when i gave my 2 week notice i started joking around about how i wasn't going to miss this or that. then when i decided that i was going to start the blog again a decided that i was going to have a feature (or several) about what i wasn't going to miss about retail. before i left i decided that the #1 thing i wasn't going to miss was the music. and while this was decided based  on the awesome  music i got to listen to on a daily basis  it is not solely based on that job. i have several issues with the musi

so we did it..we put an offer in on a house!!! i'm dying right now. here's our problem--its a short sale so i was doing my daily perusing of new listings on redfin my preferred real estate site (great inter-active map if you don't know neighborhoods or zip codes!) and this house came up on a block that is awesome and we never thought we'd get into. i clicked on it and its a short sale. i decided to email it to the real estate lady anyways. she lets me know that the listing agent is someone they have worked with prior and she is difficult. great. so we wait a week. then i called the real estate lady to see if there was any word on getting in bc we were very very interested! she suggested we put in an offer pending an interior inspection if we felt that strongly about it. so i talked to the man and we were like HELL! YES! so i sent the real estate lady an email. then she calls me to say we can get in! OMG!! ok so with out getting into too much detail: craftsman! interio
