I am so amazed at how many people are supporting me!! It was quite the risk to sent out this website to every man, woman, and child on my email list. I am sure that my therapist will be quite impressed later today...and then, once again, wonder if the new attitude of full self-disclosure is sustaining.
I had a great birthday and lots of wonderful warm wishes. Thanks to all of you! I am totally amped for year 33. Not only is the year palindromic, but it is the year I become a home owner and, hopefully, the year I get skinny.
For those of you not in the home owner loop, let me explain. I have been trying to buy a home for the last several months. The market is incredible and interest rates ridiculously low. If there ever was a time to jump into the real estate game, this is it. I moved in with my aunt and uncle in Beaverton this July. I was supposed to close on a lovely 3 bed/2.1 bath townhouse in mid-September. However, due to an under appraisal and sellers who thought much too highly of their stuff the sale fell through two weeks ago.
I started looking again and found a cooler, awesomer house-
house (check out pics!) and made an offer on Wednesday.
After some haggling, I signed the contract yesterday afternoon for only $189K, a wonderful birthday present to myself! The inspection is Monday and I hope all will go well.
I think this may have been the only birthday that I actually lost weight, 1.6 lbs to be precise.
