House Hunters, Texas Edition
Jul. 12th, 2020 08:30 am Me and Alex looked at houses yesterday!
Well, sort of.
On my lunch break during Friday, we ventured to look at the exterior of some houses. The first one was ... Eh. The second one was even more eh, with all of the sidewalk torn up by some invasive trees while all the other houses had pristine sidewalks. It became EVEN MORE eh when we were leaving and I got a massive nosebleed all over the interior of the car. I never get nosebleeds (like once every two years) so I thought it was funny afterwards. Alex theorizes I got punched in the face by an enemy stand user. I theorized it was haunted and didn't want me there.
Then Saturday we lazed around for a good long while before going to look at other houses. We found one we really liked up north, which would be only a twenty minute commute for me... I hope we can get it. We tried two others but they were too far away from anything.
The unfortunate reality is that all the cool things are within the city and you get crappier homes for more money, but at the luxury of having things you like around it. On the other hand, you can get a nicer house out in the suburbs, but at the expense of having NOTHING around you other than a Church's Chicken, Chevron, and maybe a loan office. Oh, and the toll roads. We are probably gonna bite the bullet and get a slighty iffy rental house so we can stay near work, friends, and things to do.
We played House Hunters Drinking Game later which is just taking a drink every time they say "stainless steel appliances", "granite countertops", "backsplash", etc. God the people on that show are EXHAUSTING. 1.25 MIL BUDGET?!
In three days is Alex's birthday! He's not really excited but I am, I want him to have a good night so I think that I will make him some chicken a la king and even attempt to bake, which as we know, is my Achilles heel. You think he'd still love me after I give him a burnt but runny cake?
P.S. Penpals, I haven't forgotten you I'm just busy and need to grab some stamps from the UPS... Soon you will get a postcard from moi...
