typical

received some semi-good news on the house yesterday. our realtor said that the couple who came to see it for a second time last saturday really loves the house and wants to bring their father through it over thanksgiving. they also want to know if we get any other interests in the meantime. i'm guessing they're trying to sell their house or waiting on loan approvals. still not getting too hopeful yet. i had to call mike and tell him the semi-good news. i had asked him if the cambridge house was our final choice. i would rather build new or go for a newer house but they don't meet our criteria like this house, plus, the price is right. its got the square footage, pool, 2 car garage, master bathroom for me and the finished basement. and its also got the nasty 80's decor. i'm not sure if i'm ready to redo a house again. and in typical mike fashion, instead of saying something encouraging like "honey, you will do a fantastic job remodeling the house." he says "yeah we have to buy it, its cool." so this morning i compromised. said we can buy the house if i get to buy this for the dining room:

saw it on oprah yesterday and loved it. it can be found at pottery barn. so far he says i can get it. we will see when the time comes.
