Buffy, Angel and a placed called Home

Well I have done it. After a long and seemingly horrific process, I am officially 6 days away from closing on a house. Someone told me “If you think getting into a house is horrible, wait till you try to get out”. That was scary. In fact the stress of this whole thing has aged me a decade I figure. Thank goodness that for the last two months I have not come home to worry myself sick about the house, but instead have been obsessed with watching the entire Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel series. Making home buying a nuisance and something that was taking up the time that I could have been spending in front of the TV. Important life lesson: If ever you are under extreme stress, you can turn on the tube and completely lose yourself in pretend people’s lives and just ignore your own. I realize that most of America has this already figured out, but I’m slow okay. Beth and Erin, its girlfriends like you that really know how to get a person through the fire. Had you not been such strong advocates for these shows, I may have never watched and I don’t know if I would have made it through the house buying process. Coarse, I am now forever upset that Spike died in the Hell Mouth and Buffy never realized that Lust is just as important as Love, but hey maybe Angel will make it all better! This next week will surely be filled with things I should be accomplishing and planning for, but instead I think I will be plopped down in front of the television immersed in the drama of demon killing. What I can pack and watch Kung foo at the same time.

Lori and I watched about half of Buffy before Lori gave up due to Willow's "affections." You know Lori! :) Never did get to Angel, but we do watch "Bones" all the time. David Borneaz is hilarious.

Congratulations on the house! Where is it?! Are you going to have a house-warming party? House buying can be stressful, but once you're in, it's SO worth it. You can do what you want to what you want, when you want. The downside is that sometimes you HAVE to do something to it, when you don't want to. :) Make sure the sellers throw in a home warranty. I would reccomend Alliance Home Warranty. They've been great to us.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer has gotten me through my entire life! Wise woman that Buffy. I've been waiting to find my Angel... only without the whole dark and mopey thing he had going on!

Just so you know I still check this thing on a regular basis.
