million dollar view my ass

we did our first attempt at house hunting yesterday and i just looove how realtors fluff up their ads with words like: fantastic view of turnkey home, ready to move in, good size bedrooms! blahblahblah. so mark and i were totally crushing on this house that we saw on the internet and we finally decided to move our bums and visit the place as well as scope out the area. when we got there, i was like -- oh, it's in a ghetto part of the city! lol. and the house was on a really steep hill. which means that if flooding will occur, this house will be first on the erosion list. we hightailed out of there and i made a note of the surrounding streets so that i won't add it to my list of homes to visit. ha, i should've known not to judge the book by its cover! so real estate lesson #1 don't judge a house by curb appeal alone (as well as adobe photoshopped and masterfully staged internet photos). more real estate lessons to come [hahaha i feel like i'm on hgtv's house hunters/property virgins episode]

this is hilarious

back in my college days. i'm such a freakin nerd! lol
