After Having a Baby, I’m a Real Mother Now

House Numbers… November 12, 2007

26. 27. 28. 29. 30. 31-40.

26 - the yard was too small. And there were holes in the walls so doorknob locks could fit into them. FOR REAL. Hey, genius, spent 50 cents and buy one of those door stopper things.

27 - the yard was too small.

28 - the yard was awesome. There was a fucking WINDOW UNIT AIR CONDITIONER in one of the rooms. For $250k, I expect central air and heat. Am I wrong?

29 - the yard was too small. The upstairs was awesome, though. Apparently the owners are total stoners. I have never seen so many snacks stashed in a bedroom before. On the nightstand’s exposed shelf and tons of eats in the closet.

30 - it fits all of the criteria, but we weren’t excited about it. You should be excited about a place before you start paying $1500 a month to live there for 30 years. Am I wrong? We didn’t even ask our agent to show us this one. We’re almost embarrassed to call her at this point, so we called the listing agent and she met us as at the property. Considering it’s been on the market for 6 months, wouldn’t you think she could answer “who is the cable provider?” off the top of her head? Nope. She also wasn’t sure if the flooring in the entryway was laminate or hardwood. I said, looks like laminate to me. She agreed. Uh huh.

31-40 - we just drove by these. It’s amazing how little you have to see to say no.

We’ve actually driven by at least 50 houses and eliminated them, so these numbers are quite conservative. If I stop to think we’ve already put 100 houses in the “no” pile, I’ll probably start crying right now.
