Ask me again in a few days? I would definitely recommend the first book, and I’m about halfway through the second. The good news is that all the storylines not centering on the male lead are super engaging. If angsty prince is your thing, then I’d definitely go for them both. I got so annoyed that I peeked to the end…

My one friend and I are the same, neither of us would ever answer the door unless we were expecting someone.

I am just going to go a-viking.

Snow for the past day, sleet right now. All the neighbors were out shoveling this morning and we didn’t, and I saw a few glares thrown our way. Idiots need to check the forecast. Tomorrow I will easily shovel everything away, while they all have to chop ice.

Thank you!

I’m not going to say “don’t get emotionally invested” because that’s damn near impossible, but always be prorated to walk from a bad deal (even if you love the house).

He knocked on your door without being invited. I may be old fashioned, but no one get’s entry to my home unless they call first. You should not have to hide in your apartment until some male nutjob figures out a worse way to get to you.

When I bought my first house I didn’t have the advantage of the internet. Today you have the best tool ever for finding the right house/condo to buy. Start with figuring out how much you think you can afford. Then do a search on Zillow.com for everything in your area that is in your price range. Narrow your search…

1. Visit the house at all times of day, get an idea of the traffic, and try your commutes from it a few times. Going to an open house on a Sunday won’t reveal those things. Also, if possible, see what the area is like in multiple kinds of weather. I would not have purchased a house on a dead-end hill if I knew they…

My dad finally apologized for something he did over Christmas. Of course he had to qualify it “you need to remember when my blood sugar gets low I get belligerent and short tempered” blah blah bullshit. It’s very true, he’s diabetic. But it’s not going to excuse you. And, I don’t know, how about you fucking do…

Get pre-approved for an loan amount you can afford - don’t let the bank talk you into getting approved for more.

Just read “Truthwitch” (CBA to italics on phone), which was surprisingly good. My sister got it for me because “it looked so bad it might be good” and while I ended up really enjoying it, I’m absolutely hating the sequel. One of the characters is now completely out of character, to the point where in the last book he…

And because I really shouldn’t forget about my very first feline child, here’s a very intelligent looking Stupid Cat. She’s over a decade old and she hunts laundry while we’re sleeping.

Do. Not. Get. In. Over. Your. Head.

If you buy a townhouse, look into the HOA before you buy. Know what the board of directors is like, the rules are are like, and what the fees cover.

Get an independent inspector for the home inspection. Also, angle for a home warranty as part of the deal.

Oh I love pet threads! Look at his legs and all the fluff. Here are my goofballs.
