Home Depot and Bed, Bath and Beyond

We close on our house in 45 days!  Can’t wait!  (note: I will write about the house and the home searching process later)  I really wish we were able to close a little sooner than that, but that’s house buying for ya.  I guess the seller of our soon-to-be house is waiting for the seller of their soon-to-be-house to find a soon-to-be-house of their own.  Catch that?  Essentially it’s a big domino effect and we are waiting for the big push. 

Anyway, we are excited to be moving into a house of our own.  No more landlords.  No more fees for having pets.  No more having to hear your upstairs neighbors walking around.  No more lots of stuff associated with renting a place!  Feeling very adult!  However, as most homeowners know, there is a lot more that goes into being an adult owning a home.  Mortgage insurance.  If something breaks, you have to pay to have it fixed.  Property tax.  Maintenance and upkeep of house and yard. So a lot of adult things. 

We had a pretty nice weekend.  We ventured to Home Depot, Lowes, and Bed, Bath and Beyond.  The Diddy (aka Boyfriend; Stinky fart boy) and I wanted to look at paint colors, things we could do with the house, price a few items out.  Every time I think of these stores, the movie Old School always pops in my head.  See clip below.

Funny, right!?! So whenever either the Diddy or I mention these aforementioned businesses, the other always responds with, “I don’t know if I’ll have enough time.”  Cracks us up every time!  Not funny?  Well screw you. 

So here we are, being trying to be all adult with buying a home, and we have to quote Old School.  So classy.  But I love it!

Oh, and if you have never seen the movie, I highly suggest watching it.  This is being Somewhat Adult at its finest!
