Hello Couch!
I am the proud owner of a cute small house with a red front door and a big beautiful tree and a sunny spot to plant sunflowers.
And no one to tell me I could never afford to make a house payment without them or to freak out if I want to paint the kitchen blue. (I don't. But I could if I wanted to. I can paint it flippin' rainbow tye-dye with fluffy clouds if I want. Best that I don't really want to do that either. Heh.)
I picked up the keys yesterday. The house is in excellent shape according to the inspector but there are a few minor repairs and tweaks I want to make (and I can make them if I want!). Now I embark on Calling All the People!- plumber, electrician, locksmith, contractors.
And because I am an optimist at heart I am hosting makeshift Thanksgiving in my new house for 15 people and growing because the answer to "Can so-and-so come too?" is always yes.
