Nesting
My landlords are selling my building. No exact date, since the place just went on the market, but my lease is up August 31st.
I found out about ten days ago, and after my initial reaction of oh my God holy shit I don't wanna! I stopped freaking out and started considering my options. Prompted by a couple of people, and reassured that the Régie du Logement rules state that I can't be kicked out of my apartment with no notice, I decided to go poke at my bank and see if I'm still the credit-score equivalent of the Black Plague.
As it turns out, I'm not anymore. So I got pre-approved for a mortgage, and I am now in the market for a house. Those of you unfortunate enough to be following me on Twitter already know about this, but I figured I haven't been around on this LJ in a really long time and so it behooved me to give a little news.
So I spent this afternoon looking at houses, and telling myself that it's ridiculous to fall in love with the very first house you see. That's what happened, of course, but I'm trying to be objective about it. The other places ranged from "okay" to "Sure, I'd buy that if I wanted to become a serial killer and needed a nice wooded area in which to bury the bodies of my victims." In short, I'm kind of starry-eyed about that first place, in spite of the fact that it has a couple of obvious drawbacks.
There will be more house visiting this week, and I'm hoping that if no other, even more awesome houses turn up in my price range, that that first house won't get snapped right up.
So how's everyone else doing? What have I missed? I know that scads of babies have been born and that we're still waiting on a couple more, but is there anything else going on? :)

If I get the house I want, I am planning a BIG housewarming. I missed out on the last place, mostly because I moved at a slightly inconvenient time for housewarmings.

when you see it. Good luck!

Bizarrely, this place isn't the one that caught my eye in the online listings, but I loved it even before I walked through the front door. It really feels like the house I've always wanted.

The house I'm looking at is a lot closer to Ontario than my previous place, and would have plenty of spare room, so you and N would totally be invited to come by and crash for a night or two if you wanted. \o/

The place I am currently in love with has acreage and a fire pit! It's about 30 minutes away from you, maybe a wee bit more, so we could visit more often!

But, he does have his point of view and, sometimes, when one has fallen head over heals, it is a good thing to have the cold-hard-truth side, too.

Now, if only he would call me back... *frets*
no subject
He will. Don't worry about that. If he can talk me down off the ledges I was on, both for the selling and the buying, he can do anything

Good luck with the search!
Any chance we'll see you this summer? It's been a long time!
Of course, we also have a goatstravaganza to plan... ^_^

We do have the goatstravaganza to plan. We should email.

And I had wondered if you'd fallen down the well, but Lassie was laying on her ass and not saying anything.

I didn't fall down the well, but I came close. ;)
