See if I can reply in 150 words or less. :-) Sold Condo after 5 months. Revisited ABQ, NM and Medford, OR to redecide if I wanted to live there. Decided Oregon was a watered-down CA, and ABQ was way too dry after all. Didn't think I could afford to remain in CA or the Bay Area (near Berkeley & SF, because this is definitely a high “rent” district). But decided, yup, I really, really wanted to. So I stayed in a motel for 5 months looking at foreclosures. FINALLY, just when I was about to leave again for Medford, found one that I could afford that didn't need oodles of fixing up. Closed end of July. Fixed up house, got my loan mid-October. Just got my kitchen done and insulation goes in next week. Then basically all the big stuff will be done and I can relish the joys of home ownership (and all the hassle too :-)).
That's under 150 words even if you count the smiley. Except for some weird noises and some work in the yard that still needs to be done, yes, I am loving it. And now I am starting to get back to my normal life (whatever that is, not sure I remember anymore, it's been so long). Marnie ;-) In a message dated 12/24/2010 11:34:32 A.M.
