Is what I'm going to nickname the house I saw on Saturday. The house was amazing. Would have been perfect size, nice bathrooms, everything... HOWEVER.. This house was literally on the side of a mountain. The house also had no deck. I opened up the kitchen door and feared for my life. The back and side of the house was literally, hanging on the mountain side. I'd have to be hooked up to bungee cords in order to mow the grass.
HOWEVER, I found a beautiful 4 bedroom 3 1/2 bath townhouse in Heather Hills that I will be putting an offer on tonight. The townhouse already has an offer on it, but I believe my offer of 145,000 will be higher and hopefully I will out bid them and get the townhouse.

I'm so excited
I think I might be getting my hopes up.
I found a house that is perfect. (from the outside and the virtual tour on Fredericksburg.com).
It's small - 1080 sq ft. in Hickory Ridge (right by Leeland train station, by my moms house and about 3 miles from the Stafford Airport 95 entrance)
It has Cathedral ceilings in the kitchen/dining room. 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. A basement that is unfinishd (but overtime can be finished by me myself and my handyman).
If I've estimated my money amounts correctly, I should spend about 1500 towards fees and closing costs (if the closing costs are covered, and my loan is a FHA loan and will cover some). About 300 dollars towards an inspection - if the home allows. It is a foreclosure home, so an inspection could be pointless, but I refuse to move in without one.
About 1000 dollars to recarpet what will need recarpeting. If it is a foreclosure home, that will mean the entire home.
About 200-300 dollars to repaint - Which I'm going to Con Tim (Roxanna's husband) into painting. I'll feed him or something. What I really need is a husband, PSHT.. that AIN'T happening.. EVER.
Anyways.. I will then have about 500 dollars leftover. Which, I will save that money because who knows what it will be needed for. Probably getting water and trash service to the house. I already have cable and electric so that should just be moved (which I'm sure it cost some sort of fee to do that) and I dont have a home phone.
So, what do you think?
Oh, also.. how much does it cost to put a fence around your house? (lets say.. .5 acre)? I want a fence for Charlie. It really is the only disappointment of the home

Movies Galore
Friday night I watched this with my sister. I almost peed my pants. I watched most of the movie from behind my sisters arm and I was scared to look out any windows. SCARY AS SHIT!!
I cried. A LOT! I will not watch this ever again.
This was a horrible movie. It was slow, boring and didn't make any sense for most of the movie. It has a very disappointing ending I thought.
Also, I have found a house I think I'm going to love. It needs new carpet. Anyone know an average cost of recarpeting a 1400 Sq ft house?

ER
I can't say is went out with a bang. BUT, I did cry my eyeballs out. If you watched it, you know the parts.

Update
It's been a while since I've written anything. I've been checking and commenting everyone else's blogs but I haven't really wanted to write in mine.
I'm going to do the list.. just like Roxanna and Erin. I'm a poser, what can I say..
My list will be 6 things I'd like to do before the end of the 2009
1) Move - whether that is buying a house or renting a house
2) Lose 15 lbs.
3) Grow a miniature garden on my balcony or in my new yard
4) Be able to run a mile without stopping
5) Wear more dresses because they are pretty
6) Buy a new bedroom set
Boring, but hey.. its mine
