hyperventilating panic freak out
August 31st, 2007 @ 11:50 am | dc, domestic | Post a CommentSo, I think we just bought a house.
Including these stairs.
But my husband is in a meeting so he doesn’t even know it yet.
(I realize this sounds crazy. We have been in a battle of the counter-offers since Tuesday, and I think we just finally reached a middle ground. We haven’t exactly signed on the dotted line yet, so it’s not too late. But it’s basically a done deal.)
And now, if you don’t mind, I’m going to go back to freaking out.



CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!
You (almost) own stairs. This is definitely a step up in the world!

Dont use wood polish on the floor is my advice. I have the directions for the perfect make-shift swiffer that is so helpful with cathairitis.
Are you hiring painters aka me?

WHOOOOOOOAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! WOWEE! That’s SOOO awesome! Congratulations, you two! It took us 6 years after we were married to buy a place – you go! I love the pale green color and the cute street. I hope you show us more pictures of the inside and the backyard. What an awesome, charming place! Loaded with personality and details.
