Lately our weekends have consisted of hanging out, watching NCAA football (whatever we can actually catch on TV out here, have not been able to see my Spartans for several weeks due to the Big Ten network), and going to open houses. There have been some interesting possibilities lately. I am sure people are skeptical that we are actually going to buy something, but we are taking our time as the prices are dropping in a real way. In our market, that can make a major difference. We end up making up nicknames for the houses to remember them. I try to describe a house with address or neighborhood location, but Mike can never remember it that way. So nicknames work well. Most of our favorite houses happen to be yellow. One of the houses we looked at about 6 weeks ago just got painted yellow. Maybe we will like it better. One of my favorite houses has an identical floor plan to my in-law's house. Here are nicknames so far (good, bad, and ugly).
1rst Yellow
2nd Yellow
Lil' Yellow
Stinky yellow
Park yellow
Build up Greenwich
Greenwich flophouse
Tomato house
Nook house
Deck house
Ed's grandma
Shithole 1
Shithole 2
On another note, Mike just informed me that I woke him up last night mumbling. He thought I was awake and trying to talk to him. Then I said something about number 12, Nebraska. He asked me if I was dreaming about football, and I said yes. Funny! We watched the Southern Florida-Rutgers game last night, so I had football on my mind. I actually rooted for Rutgers, because I think So. Florida was really over-rated. Of course the Spartans are on TV this weekend, and I can not watch it due to a bachelorette party. Those friggin' girls!

Go Rutgers! Maybe knocking off #2 will get them ranked.
I think you should buy "stinky yellow".
And if it makes you feel any better, we all think you are a geek. We are just too nice to say so.
:-P

Why are shithole #1 and shithole #2 still on the list?

it is not a list of houses we want to buy, it is a list of houses that made impressions whether good or bad
