I wish I lived here...

I can only imagine how much a plot of land costs in this neighborhood...it is the suburbia haven...quiet, clean, tree lined, beautiful...I was walking around and all I could hear were birds calling and singing...eerie actually since that's rarely something I hear in my other spot...but it was fun! Just for an estimate, I would say this plot of land-just land mind you-NOT the land and a house...is probably going for $134,500 US...
This cutie patootie house is something I would be HAPPY to live in...it's got a gorgeous yard...whoever owns this must be soooo happy!!

This yard is nice...with the big tree and mature flowering plants...wow...I can envision all sorts of wicked stuff for the yard...it's a double lot...so...my estimate: $195K US
My dream home? I will probably scan my design sometime and post it...but "haaa...haaa...honk..." at the rate I am going with trying to keep up, I might take a WHILE!! :)
Someday...
See...the thing is...I had ALL good intentions to post sometime this weekend...and then I plumb got carried away with my buddy Court being here and all...but...anywho...here you are...just glimpses into what I want and wish I could have...dreaming and scheming and plotting to own a home...

Flashback

I know I have lots of things to write on this blog. A confession session seems to be on the horizon...I wonder how long it's been since I've had a really good verbal purge...via this here newfangled creation, the computer...words flow easily - this is...my therapy of sorts.
But today, I have to write SOMETHING about where I live, considering I'm supposed to be writing about my "adventures housesitting" hehe.
These little stinkybutts are my step brothers. I LOVE them to pieces...and apparently they like me too...phew!
The older one has no reason to like me...I was awful to him when he just came into my life...yes...I know...shame on me, I was like 20-something and he was only 3...and I couldn't stand him around me...the hangups of an only (and adopted) child! Ha!! But I so got over it...and he is so sweet and apparently forgiving.
I think having little twin brothers (E & K) has softened him (M) and he's probably just used to the chaos now...poor thing! And yes, the two on his left are his twin brothers (fraternal obviously!)

Rule #1 at my apartment: Don't have people over. Or loosely translated: No parties!
Well, is it so bad to have my three stinkies over for some sandwiches and juice for my birthday? That's not a party, though K (middle) was the hired entertainment the way he kept us in stitches! (BTW, this little party was in October...coz my boitday is Halloween!)
One of the things that make me happy about my apartment is that the owners do leave us alone quite a bit. I mean, there's times when you wonder how you can live in such close proximity to some people, and how can you not step on people's toes. But it's been pretty good going. They were gone for 9 months last year, so we had the place to ourselves pretty much.
And we let the yard go quite a bit...I mean, we're ashamed to admit that we didn't do a great job reining in the weeds, but we managed to clean it up and fix it nicely.
However - now the owner is back. I am on the hunt once more for my own spot. I have so many ideas...I think this weekend, I want to go around with le camera and take pictures of where I WISH I could set up house! :)
Wouldn't that be nice? Would you like to see that? Yes? Yes? OKAY!!!
Anywhos, I guess to get back on my topic...How many of you had at least one stringent rule set where you rented/rent?

(Edit) - Hahaha...I read this over after posting and realized that I certainly made it sound like I have millions hitting me up for my sporadic posts! hahaha. I am NO Perez or P-Widdy! Oh well, a girl can dream! :)
