    The husband has found a house that meets his exacting criteria. It's so CUTE.

    Please sign in | Zillow

    We will need to add a shed or something (if we get it, we are visiting it together at 3:30 w/real estate agent who was actually very responsive) but it's listed at 170K (we may offer more if there are other offers) but we are qualified for like, 220K so really.... It should work out.

    I am a TOTAL anxious mess, I hate this house stuff. Selling the Tucson house not so hard (mentally OMG I will never forget pouring concrete) but like, buying houses makes you totally schizophrenic. It's like 30 minutes to work which is my "happy" commute where I do not return home and freak at the husband. Bah.

    So... No yoga today until later... maybe.... But like, I guess buying a house comes first. I'm not really back to normal anyway, honestly... we will see. Me and husband are just sitting here gibbering a bit.... Until it's time to leave, which is pretty soon.

    @FranC the second link I posted works.

    We will get an outdoor hot tub. My mom had one for years, and it never got gross.... it did. IRONICALLY catch on FIRE. The night before me and my kid were in it and like, we were playing with sparklers and I was like OH NO!!!!!!!!

    Only it turned out to be a motor defect, so they came and gave us a new one and I was very relieved to not be "The child who burned down the hot tub." Had my stepfather not been outside and SEEN it? It seriously might've burned down the house it was right on top of a very large, solid wooden deck connected to the house and when I say that sucker was ON FIRE well it was ABLAZE it took a long time to put it out.

    Outdoor hot tubs require maintenance mainly monitoring the PH and cholorine levels. We never had an issues... other than it catching on fire but they were "really sorry" about that and bought us a newer model, etc.

    Though, it was my mom's and everything so I think she paid something like 12K for it and it seated 10 or somthing.

    My favorite thing that ever happened with that hot tub was my Stepdad was leading a spiritual retreat and apparently me and the ex husband STROLLED out totally naked in front of a LARGE picture window and PLOPPED in it. The stepdad indicated there was TOTAL silence. For a while.; LOL. To be fair, we were a CUTE couple just a totally dysfunctional one.

    Something about that farm house invited nudity dude. The first time I let the husband come over when we were dating, my older brother was having his weekly "manly" drumming circle where he and his pals all got drums, got totally naked, and went into the woods to build a fire, drum, and be manly.

    As we were heading around the house a very solemn, naked set of gentlemen carrying drums (like, 10 of them) just FILED up to the house to reclothe. I mean... it was dark but not dark enough not to see who was a grower or a shower, and like they just did not break stride or stop marching...

    Later, the husband told me that event caused him to feel like, "I can get behind this family" so to speak.

    So not jacuzzi tub like a real hot tub. Hmm. The house is very wood. Maybe we place it AWAY from the house, it's fun to roll in snow and jump in a hot tub. I have some waterproof mods. This can only IMPROVE my marriage. Heh.

    The house looks good but that’s too much wood on the inside for me. It reminds me of a log cabin or something.

    For some reason I have always liked the log cabin look, considering the way modern houses are built with today, just seems a more solid and natural to me. Also it looks like the perfect location for that kind of home, it would not look right in the area I live in. :|

    Famous last words!
    Can you really see me buying more cake? The Lemon Cake is my only cake now and the only one I’ve ever been happy with. It was actually your posts that got me to buy it, so, much thanks.

    Yeah, I had heard a lot of good things about the flavor too. I might have to try to find something else to mix it with.
    A Banana Bread isn’t a flavor I’d buy but hope you can get a better recipe for it. Have you tried it solo?
