Dear Diary

Dear Diary,
What a loverly day! We had an appointment with a realtor to view 2 homes we were considering buying.This was all set up on monday. On friday,we got 8 inches or so of snow,and travel conditions Sucked sat. morning, but we were game. A 45 minute ride, and here we are, pulling into the driveway of the first house. We get out of the truck [and did I tell you it was 14 degrees and still blowing snow?]A woman starts yelling out of the window above the garage that she spoke to her realtor 3 hours ago, and she is NOT showing today.Well, that helped US a lot now, didn't it? Then she had company and didn't want to be bothered.We were a lil surprized by the sellers attitude, but were lucky to have seen the house, something is not right.We could not believe how small the house was.The listing said it was 21oo sq ft. If that puppy was one foot over 1300 I will kiss the owners ass. If they lied about that, they lied about other things.We took a pass on the house altogether.
On to the second house. A very steep driveway. Unplowed. Yes,dear Diary, I can see you're getting the pic. The RE got stuck about 3/4 of the way up.We laughed it off, pulled halfway in, and hiked the rest of the way up. BUT ! Just as the RE was unlocking the electronic lock on the door,a huge black dog appeared out of nowhere, inside the home, and let us know that he meant business, there would be chunks 'o flesh a flyin' if we went in. So, a Double deuce today! The very first house we saw,we went in alone,with no realtor.The second 2 houses we tried to view, we had the realtor with us, but never got a foot in the door! We're just l our a's off over this, if things like this are going to happen, they will happen to us. So,we'll go back next Saturday to view house two, and keep looking online as well. I don't know what I expected today to be like,but the LAST thing I expected was to never set foot in a house :O)

Oh dear.

Well, at least you have a sense of humor. :-)

Best of luck to you in continuing your house search.

Thanks, too, for the compliments on Liesl. She's just a peach.
