I have realized.....

That the longer we rent the longer and more extravegant my "must" have list gets for our first house. Maybe it's because it's been ubber hot, but I now have it in my head that we have to get a house with a pool. I need to win the lotto..........

Any realizations for anyone else lately?

OMG, TN ate my response. Actually, the work filter ate it, but whatevs, I'm blaming TN.

(1) I want a pool!

(2) Makeup and hair color. I Sephora, and can't go back to drugstore products. I used to just get highlights every 3-6 months, and now I go much more frequently, nad am trying a new technique in 2 weeks called breaking (or bumping) the base, where they dye your roots, then do the highlights. I get annoyed sometimes with highlights, because you can come out of it looking like you have roots.

When you go to buy, I think you will find that your must list goes out the window when you walk into a house and know it's the one. Or maybe that was just my experience. hahaha.

Me:

1. I will never go back to drugstore hair color or shampoo.

2. I can't eat and drink like I did when I was 18. This realization has come much too late!

Every time I get highlights she colors my roots too. My girl takes care of me! I rarely look like I have roots. I am a faithful every 6 weeker. Too many grays.

I want a POOL!!!

Our one big must have for a house is a yard. Not even that much of a yard but something for the kids and puppy to play on. The area of Tampa we live most houses barely have anything you could call a yard, we thankfully actually live on a corner lot and have a decent amount of lawn/yard.

It is sooo nice to have a yard. We're on the end of a cul-de-sac, and our lot is .20, as opposed to most in the neighborhood being more like .10-.15 acre. We've got a nice big expanse of grass in the back, and a stamped concrete patio, and a slight hill with bushes and trees. Ginger absolutely loves being able to run around, and I'm sure the kiddos will as well. Lots of work, but worth it.

We just bought our first house in December and it has an inground pool and I thought for sure we would be swimming every chance we got, but it has not worked that way lol. It is so expensive to maintain, but its so convenient when you want to just run outside and swim.

I remember going through the list of what I wanted in my first house. A two car garage, updated kitchen, central heat & a/c, backyard and no pool. We opted out of two story homes and ones with a pool simply because we don't make enough to have a huge electricity bill, nor do we have the extra money for maintenance on a pool (mostly being electricity since you have to run the filter and sweeper). What I got in my house now was an updated kitchen (i can add backsplash tile later and tile floor), somewhat landscaped backyard (need to get rid of the huge mulch aka tan bark and lay sod and pavers), central a/c & heat, somewhat updated baths w/a small master bath & a 2-car garage.
