So this house got sold out from under my feet. And by “under my feet” I mean, I still can’t afford anything more than a refrigerator box, and I just admired it from afar (via the internet) but felt me and the house had a kinship unlike anything else the world has ever seen, even though I never saw it in person except when I creepily drove by it five times moving three miles per hour. But that’s in the past. Here is my current house of obsession:
I even saw it in person this time! Inside and out! Because my new thing is to go to open houses because they’re fun and give me lots of ideas for what I could potentially afford millions of years down the line when houses are obsolete and most people are living in underwater bubble cities. But isn’t it gorgeous? The hardwood floors are so shiny! And you see that picture with the bed? And that other picture with the rocker? Those are both the master bedroom. It’s huge and would be perfect for my office! There are also two more bedrooms upstairs and that room with the red furniture is an addition they put on in the back and it’s super private and cozy. But if I had it I would paint it a darker color to make it even cozier. And there’s even a totally finished basement! Oh, did I mention the pool? It has a pool. The only bad thing is that the back yard is up against a highway, but who goes outside these days anyway? And the owners are leaving their 4 built-in air conditioners so I wouldn’t even have to open the windows! But there’s still that little thing about not being able to afford anything. So I’m thinking that I’ll buy it and rent out all the rooms I won’t need to Puntabulous readers and we’ll set up webcams all over the place and start a naughty website to offset the costs. THE END.
Tam: Does he need leather pants or leather chaps?
Craig’s Mom: I love you.
Craig’s Dad: I meant that strictly platonically, please don’t hurt me.
Craig: You’ll have a different view of yard work when it is yours. I still hate it, but I do feel good when my yard looks good. Plus, it is going to take way more than dinner.
Polt: I’m a pants girl myself. A nice butt encased in leather works for me. Boys, take note of that.
Oh, that house is so cute! At least the fact that it backs up to freeway will be comforting if/when it sells. But a pooooool! How awesome. I like the renting idea. We’ll can all live happily ever after with Craig!
We’re about to start house hunting too.
Ryan – the hub was just showing me pics of a condo in the slums of La Jolla. We could be neighbors : ).
It will also come in handy during the zombie infestation. Easy getaway!
Michelle M.: I’m not even on the west side of Gilman.
I’m sure you will enjoy the area.
Oaky, first thing, why in GOD’S name was THIS post blocked by the blocker at work????? Stupid Internet blocker….
HUGS….
Dave S. has a Debauchery Cam??? Why am i just finding out about this NOW???
Craiggers: I LOVE your mom! Almost as much as Mama Polt.
Tam: ….um, thank you for the info, although I think you might have been referring to someone else’s comment. If not, well…um, okay, thanks.
Oh and the house is just adorable, Craiggers! Looks like a great place to hold the First Annual Puntabugang Summer Gettogether!
HUGS…
I would gladly rent a room from you in that cute little house but I think the commute back to Orange County would do me in! I’d be better off in the slums of La Jolla….(because there is such a thing…right?)
Polt: Damn, I saw a reference to leather chaps and assumed it was you commenting.
John, it was sneaky John.
That’s me, I sneak in there and comment like a comment ninja.
Ryan – Ha! We’ll probably end up in a box in El Cajon. You’ll have to visit.
The First Annual Puntabugang Summer Gettogether! I’ll bring my arugula/orzo salad.
“I sneak in there and comment like a comment ninja.”
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!! That has me laughing so loud, still, the neighbors probably wonder what’s going on!
Comment ninja…God, you slay me john…
HUGS…
Michelle M.: Sounds like a good idea.
Craig: I have actually decided to get clearance from the guy to talk about our first date on my blog. I really like him, and I don’t want to risk that my blogging about him might make him uncomfortable. I just came out to him as an (aspiring) blogger. So I will see what he has to say after he checks out my blog.
I’m assuming that the reason for no new post is that Craig is doing the second walk through in prep for making an offer. If so, Good Luck!
No new post today because I was a bad boy last night and stayed out entirely too late and drank entirely too much beer.
Poor baby.
Hope they make it easy for you at work today. (unlikely but I can wish it)
But, did you get to do the walk of shame?
Certainly not. Polt might have gotten a drunken phone call though. I needed to thank him for the graphic novels he’s lending me and apparently it couldn’t wait till I was sober.
POLT: DETAILS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow- that’s gorgeous! Even though mine is faux, I absolutely love having the wood floor in half my bedroom. I want to have the whole thing done that way. And there is nothing better than having a big bedroom!
I’ll keep my fingers crossed things work out for you!! You definitely deserve it. But if this isn’t the one, don’t do what I did and put off making your current living space as nice as possible. I kept putting off everything – When I get married, I’ll …get a big tv, a blu ray player, a bigger bedroom etc. etc. I almost never did anything for myself and consequently lived without for ten plus years.
Save of course but don’t be afraid to spoil yourself too! You deserve it and it makes going to work easier because you see the benefits now.
At least you didn’t send your ex a drunken ex message with “So Cruel” by U2! Pathetic!!!! Not that I would do that when I’m drunk. But it is a song a lot of people could relate to. Not that I would send it though. That would be pathetic!
Oh yeah, I want a Polt report. So is Craig a cute drunk? Does he get all mushy? How much beer do I have to buy when I come down there Craig? Is a six pack enough? You’re tall, might need more.
Mark: I’m sure you’d NEVER do that.
You’re much too classy.
Tam: Of corse id nevr doothat! Like u said im too crassy!
OK, Bono is at least Bi!
Evidence: I disappeared in you, you disappeard from me. I gave you everything you ever wanted…..wasn’t what you wanted.
The men who Love you, you hate the most, they pass right through you like a Ghost!
I’m just sayin, speaks to every Gay man.
I thought Bono was number 2, I mean number 1?
I love it when Craig gets distracted by the everyday humdrum of work and I can hijack his blog. Welcome to Marktabulous!!!!! Ha Ha! No one can stop me now!
OK, I’m sleepy, back to you Craig.
John: He’s number one.
Is it getting better, or do you feel the same?
“Did I disappoint you, or leave a bad taste in your mouth?”
Bad Mark grabbed control for a while, but I am back in control. Going to bed now, Sorry Craig.
Awww, and I was just getting used to Marktabulous.
How about Davabulous? Tamtastic? Johnormous? Michellarious?
I can’t think of one for Polt…
Poltergeist.
Which is what he’ll be if he ever mentions my drunk phone call to anyone!
Well, I am kind of johnormous, but again, I’m not McAnally. And Dave, aren’t you already abulous enough?
Poltergeist! Genius!
Craig: did you really believe I was going to bed? I had to call Polt at work and this is what I found out:
1. I agree, Dave S. is hot!
2. No Way!. You may be tall but you are Not that limber!
3. LOL, I pulled the same muscle doing the exact same thing. It was worth the try!
OK, I’m really going to bed now, Love Ya!
Poltergeist. Classic. I like Tamtastic too.
Night night Mark. Love ya back.
I just realized that Poltergeist was the movie we went to on my first date with my ex. Hmmmm. Perhaps it was a telling sign.
If Polt died, came back as a ghost, and robbed a bank…would that be a Polterheist?
Your age hasn’t slowed you down Dave.
Yeah, Tam, my humor’s still crawling at a snail’s pace…
Hey! Only 10 more comments and we hit 100! It seems like it’s been a while since we hit that milestone…
Will there be a cake if we hit 100? I might try harder if there is cake involved.
The cake is a lie.
Yay! The guy likes my blog and even wants me to write about our date! Perhaps he will inspire me to be a better blogger.
“The cake is a lie.”
Is it bad that I checked if that was a palindrome? Dave S has infected my mind. Just struck me as a random statement. I assume it’s a quote from a movie.
Yay Chris. Can’t wait for the details.
Cookies? I’ll settle for cookies if cake is unavailable.
I could make cupcakes. My last cupcakes were a hit.
Cupcakes are good Chris. I saw you had lots of raves. But not green, maybe blue argyle. Can you swing that?
Just to run up the numbers. I hate refried beans. We went out for Mexican for lunch and I never eat the beans. They are gross, like baby food but less tasty. Cupcakes are waaaaay better.
If I’m at a Mexican place and they put refried beans on my plate I’ll usually eat them. Not particularly good, but not bad either. Would never order them if I had to pay extra for them.
100!!!! Yaaaayyyyy!!! Cupcakes all around! Chris’ treat!
