To Buy or Not To Buy!

That truly is the question.

Whether tis noble or not, I must bequeath I know not! All I do know is buying a home is such a huge commitment. And say we are ready, then that brings on a whole slew of other questions such as Where, How Much, When? Unfortunately in this area we don't have a lot to choose from in our price range. We can go north and find a nice town home, or head south and find an actual home. Staying in this exact area doesn't seem possible unless we want an older home that needs a lot of work and I think we're both in agreement that that wont work. Unfortunately staying right here is our first preference in all other categories. Given the alternatives I'm leaning towards heading north, Shaun leads towards going south. Yikes! So many grown up decisions! Will we figure it out? I guess the good news is that we're not in a hurry. Our current landlords will keep us as long as we are willing to stay, but o' how I long for a home of my own! Actually, what I really long for are the days when my biggest choice was what I should eat for breakfast and which footie pajamas I should go for.

Well Shakespeare, any advice on this one?

A Letter to Old Man Winter

To: Old Man Winter

From: The Calderwoods

Dear Sir,

While I enjoy your companionship throughout the holiday season, I must regret to inform you that you overstay your welcome come the new year. I would ask that you please excuse yourself from our presence effective immediately as to allow Spring and Summer more time to visit. Please do not take this personally. It's just that my skin is dry, the sun is far too far away and does not shine enough, I eat too much, and the blues have settled in upon me. Please plan to report back effective Thanksgiving, 2010.

Sincerely,
The C Family
