Dream Home

I’m not sure whether you’ve noticed or not, but the latter wouldn’t be giving you much credit would it? I think I’m getting sick of food. No NOT sick of eating it, an apocalypse would be more likely to happen than THAT would. I am however getting bored of taking pictures of food, mostly because at first all the organic and healthy new products were new to me. It was like an adventure, but now I need a new adventure. You have to give me credit though; I’ve stuck to it since February, which is HUGE for a quitter like me. Things can only hold my attention for so long (my Man should win some kind of award). I’m not sick of blogging though, that I love.

Okay, so there is a point to this story, what was it again? Oh yeah, so I’m going to blog a little less about food and a little more about whatever other random things I think of. This blog has always been random so I guess the only difference now is that there will be a little less food and a little more Gossip, Big Brother, Clothes, Celebs, Life, Big Brother, did I already say that? Make Up etc.. Look I’ve found new words to give capital letters to. Now if I find new and exciting food items or recipes I’m still going to share them and maybe once a week or so I’ll do a “this is what I ate today post”. Ohhhh the opportunities are endless.

So let’s talk about houses. I currently reside in my Condo Castle with my chandelier, table for 8 (I thought I was going to host lots of parties), theatre room and my newly beachified (that should be a word) upstairs bathroom.





It’s all very nice, mostly because I have really good taste and love to spend money however sometimes I think about buying a house. A yard would be nice. Not because I’d plant a garden or flowers but because I wouldn’t have to chase Bailey around with a plastic bag. Or worry about the Neighbors calling me out when I don’t… “That poop on the side walk in front of our house in NOT ours. Did you ask the guy in 138, he’s weird.”

I have few more BIG life steps to take before that’s necessary but yesterday I decided to take a look at the market. Now in my mind this next house looks like something I SHOULD be able to afford. As in if I were to buy a house I would imagine that this would be a reasonable request.















APPARENTLY, this is my dream house considering the fact that it is $659,900. Now all I need to do is find 659,900 dollars laying around.



2 dollars... 2 dollars and 25 cents...

I thought dreaming meant THESE houses.

Memba these?





The "Real Housewives of Scottsdale" houses. They really need to create that show already.

Or THIS..

Joel Horowitz the co-founder of Tommy Hilfiger. I wonder if only certain races are allowed in his house.

Unfortunately, I think these are more in my price range...

For $2900 I could have this lovely "Condo". At first glance it may LOOK like a strip mall but that's just your mind playing tricks on you.

The parking is good..



But the interior is a little outdated..



So many shelves. Imagine the decorating opportunities.

This said $22. Does that mean it's actually 22 dollars?



You know what else I came across during my search for the perfect house? A listing in which the “Stager” or whatever the person is called who sets up a home to sell, left an empty toilet paper roll on the holder in the bathroom picture. You know when there’s not enough toilet paper left for use but the stuff glued to the cardboard is still flapping in the wind? It was empty like that. What kind of message is that sending to potential buyers? “Hi, I am the previous owner of this house; I took really good care of it because I have such an eye for details.” Or, “Toilet paper, NOT included.”

I leave you with this...

Oprah Winfrey's House



Which looks a little like the White House...



Coincidence? I think not.
