1. Buy a house: I've avoided writing this post for about 3 weeks now. For fear of jinxing ourselves. About three weeks ago we put a bid on a house in Saugus. It's a 3 bedroom raised ranch. It needs a bit of work, but has potential. It was the first house that was completely within our budget and seemed pretty perfect...until inspection. All those skeletons came out of the closet. So, we've been patient with the seller as he takes his merry time getting back to us trying to take us for every penny he can. We're on the last leg of our journey. Hopefully by Monday we will have a final decision if he's going to agree to our terms or we will start the whole process over again.
3. Walk home from work: I better do this soon if we are going to find a house, because Saugus will be too far to walk home. Hopefully the weather will cooperate and I can try this next week. Now that we've given up our gym membership maybe this will be a way keep up the exercising.
16. learn to cook: I've been working on this one. I do most of the indoor cooking while Dan does the outdoor cooking. I've been looking up new recipes and trying stuff out. Lately i've been in a rut repeating the same recipes...pesto chicken, mustard panko chicken and mustard panko pork chops.
18. Read all the books in the bookcase- I've been super successful on this one. I only have 27 more books on the shelf. These are the last of the 100's which means most of them I don't have a huge interest in. I will probably only finish about 1/3 of the ones that are left.
19. Decorate a room: If we get this house i've already started to plan this out in my head. I think as clueless as I am about decorating i'm really going to enjoy this.
25. Find a hobby/craft- I tried to take up knitting. It didn't go so well. I plan on trying to jump in on a group lesson at AC moore sometime when I have some free time. Here's hoping I can learn.
