As I was leaving my house at lunch time to come back to work, I bent down to get the end of Desoto's tether, just as he came charging up behind me. My face collided with his head so hard that it knocked us both down. I literally saw stars as I was lying on the ground trying not to throw up. Desoto didn't look visably injured, but now I have a bruise the size of a hand on my cheek. It bruised and swelled in about 5 minutes. Why does everything have to be on my face?
The woman who owned the house that I made an offer on came back with a counter offer, which I rejected and then I made an offer on the other house I saw that I liked better. So, I am off to meet with my banker to find out if they will give me enough money to buy this house. This whole house buying business is very stressful, but if everything goes well today, I might be a home owner soon. Or did I just jinx myself?
The only part of this whole process that I have enjoyed is going through the houses. I love seeing the choices that people make in decorating ideas, colours and furniture choices. I also enjoy making fun of them. Some people have very strange ideas about what colours look good together, or what colours to paint. I was in one house where every single wall in the entire house was covered in floral wallpaper. EVERY SINGLE ROOM was done in a different floral pattern. I had to go back to the house and take my mother with me because she didn't believe me that someone would do that. Another house had a bright orange dining room. Bright, pumpkin orange and then a dark green living room. Very strange. I have also seen some beautifully decorated homes that I wanted to take pictures of so that I could do my house the exact same.
That is one thing that I am looking forward to doing when I am finally settled somewhere - painting. I like painting, it relaxes me. And nothing makes a house feel cleaner and brighter than fresh paint. I already have colours picked out for some of the rooms. I can see in my head how its going to look when its all done, and so far it looks pretty good. Now, I just have to get it. Cross your fingers. Even my hysteria has calmed down somewhat since I switched to this house. That must be a sign that the other one wasn't the right one.

Well,
All I can say is that I have been whopped in the head many times by a horse> comparable experience, judging the mere size of desoto. Other than losing a few brain cells, I think I am still functioning properly. Oh yes> kicked in the mouth was also an interesting experience. In time, all will heal :}:}:}
No worries on the house buying> eventually one will feel more right than the others in the past> more than likely the one you rejected was not meant to be, and much better is out there. Sounds like the houses are in town, I was hoping you would move to the Grove :}
