Get your limerick on

It turns out today is Limerick Day.  Who knew?  More over, who cared?  But as I’m a little too angsty over recent housing developments to think about them further, I needed a distraction.  And thus, my homage to Edward Lear and his lovely limericks.  I’m surprised at how non-dirty these came out.  (Yes Thom, that’s a [...]

Dining Dilema

I know I’m a little late to the game, but I finally finished reading In Defense of Food by Michael Pollan.  At some point I’m going to have to stop reading these types of books or I’m going to just pull out what little hair I’ve managed to regrow.

Let me clarify.  This book is great – thought [...]

Techno Trauma

I’m getting my ass kicked by technology today.  We get our internet through our cable provider, and in turn, our email addresses.  Our current cable peeps don’t service Maplewood, so long story long, we need new email addresses.

Breezy.  I can create new email addresses all the live long day, I just suck at getting them to [...]

Oh sweet mystery of life...

Ever gone to a bar and completely forgotten it’s Cinco de Mayo?  Me either.  But despite Hoboken being about as monochromatic as imaginable, my peeps are out in full force celebrating the holiday.  Speaking of which…Did you know that yesterday was StarWars Day? May the fourth be with you…

Things are looking up on the housing front.

I [...]

Attorney angst

It’s still raining.  It’s obviously never going to stop raining.  Much like I’m obviously never going to find a frickin house!

Ohm.  Totally zen.  Sipping more beer.  Today while my marriage counselor (a.k.a. cleaning person) was doing his thing in the apartment, I decided to hit a bar.  That’s just what you do when you’re losing your [...]

Swift scoots

I finally purchased a new pair of sneaks yesterday on my shopping excursion with Rocco.  We decided an outing was just what we needed to keep our minds distracted while we wait…and wait…and wait…to see where all these fun house negotiations take us.

When we were getting ready to put the Hoboken place on the market back [...]

Chemo clepto

I am one worn out girl.  The good news is my little chemo brain seems to be working well enough to handle all the house drama.  The bad news is that seems to be all I can handle.

I’m managing to juggle the faxing, the negotiating, the calling, the depositing, the inspecting, the placating, the sobbing, the [...]

Elephant blessings

I’m completely ignoring the hell that is trying to buy a house at the moment.  The news is not good – but far from decisive – so I’ll just distract myself and tell another tale.

I had drinks with the Tiffany’s gal last night.  We’ve been emailing back and forth over the past week and she wanted to [...]

Waiting with baited breath

I may vomit.

Clearly this whole economic crisis and alleged downturn in real estate sales is a big steaming pile of Rod Stewart albums.  How am I in a third bidding war? Where was this abundance of full price (and beyond) offers when we were selling our place?  My mellow has officially been harshed.

Obviously, our offer has [...]

And then there was one

I’m so excited I could spit.

Internet, I found my house.  While the selling broker was distracted, I licked the front door knob and called dibs.  If I was a dog, I would have peed on it.  Mine…all mine I tell you!!!

I am ridiculously wired.  Every five minutes or so I have to squeeze my eyes shut, ball [...]
