Obsessed, but not compulsive, YET!

Obsessed: to preoccupy the mind of excessively! I had to look the word up to make sure I spelled it right......that's the epitome of obsessed!

It's midnight and after looking at 7 houses tonight after work, I'm still looking online.

Lawrence and I were out to dinner last Friday and we'd driven around some neighborhoods prior; so my mind was swirling when I looked at him, mentioned I'd forgotten how draining this was and asked if he thought we'd ever find something we agreed on? He quietly said "we did", it just sold, however. Oh yea, we did agree on that one in Gladstone, the one that wasn't meant to be!!!! ARGggggggg

Well, tonight I discovered the Parkville area. Found a house I like, very close to I-29 and convenience/discount/grocery/restaurants and the all important shopping establishments. Also found one in Gladstone and 2 more online that look good. Each one with it's niceties and quirks. A couple are nice enough to replace ours, but then there is the price. Some I looked at were beautiful on the outside and awful on the inside. Others were just the opposite. Pictures seen online are quite misleading when actually eyeballing it. Now.....I like 2.......but Lawrence hasn't seen them, yet..........both have only been on the market for a week.........so what are the chances that they'll sell before; he sees them, we do a more thorough visit, then make an offer, then hold our breath?

On the flip side; our realtor spoke with the realtor from our first showing. The resulting conversation went something like this: "they really like and want the property, it's just what they're looking for, they're wanting to move to Lathrop and are going to talk to their loan person to see if they can get financing to go ahead and buy, take their time moving and worry about selling their current house after moving." Now isn't that just ideal? Perfect house for perfect people in a perfect world.....NOT.......they're either loaded or stupid. We'll just have to wait and see which......let's all hope loaded wins this one.

On top of this, I'm trying to do the job of 2 for the next two weeks at work and my neck muscles are knotted to say the least.......I need a strong drink to say the most. My co-worker had better be having a GREAT time, because when she gets back.......I'll tell her how much I appreciate her and all the work she does.....:)
