Hyperbole

Yesterday, I signed my life away. That is to say, I signed the counter-offer made against the offer we made on a house in Torrance. (No one has yet been able to tell me what to call myself after I move there -- I'm currently an Angeleno.) I guess on Monday, when we meet with the mortgage broker, I'll sign my life away again. I look forward to the next few months being a series of life-signing-away events. But now I'm "joining the club" of homeowners. (Which it seems for most has a lifetime membership.)

This is a scary time for Jannean and I, but also very exciting. We are full of ideas on how we can make this house even better, and can't wait to start. Of course, we're not going to be flush with cash when we move in, so we're going to have to be choosy about which projects we embark on at first.

Here are some pics of the house, snarfed from the MLS site.

Finally, this bit of humor to put things in perspective (in case we forget who really owns the house.)
