Well, aside from Asa's party, this has been a very very boring weekend. However, I did start on a couple things to prep for Naladahc's birthday, and our coming new furniture.

We do so need to finish organizing and throwing out/selling the books in the front room, and hang the letter holder and new coat rack. Add the new lamps and bookcase. I need to tackle the attic as well.

We've been halfheartedly house-hunting these last couple weeks, and we managed to find a few places worth looking at again. A condo on the edge of the Olentangy, and a few others. The problem is pricing for what we have found. Several places have the space and character, but few are perfect for what you're paying. For instance, many of the older homes have leaky basements.

And, with condos, very few actually seem to provide you with the details of the condo fees and associated payments and responsibilities when it comes to the structure and surroundings.

One house we found needed SOME work, but did provide both enough space and a dry basement, and it had a security system. It had quite a few unique features, including an interior best described as country overkill meets old lady. Unfortunately, old lady passed away, and left her house to be sold.

Home ownership is a scary proposition when you think of how much money per month vs. how much major stuff could go wrong. I think that's what scares me most: the unexpected and unforeseen.

Ok, time to clean some more downstairs, do some more laundry, and see what else I can get into.
