Some fun things about home ownership
Ah, the joys of being a homeboy...I mean, er...a homeowner...
1. Pets, the scourge of humanity - well, cats...we have too many. Last night, we forgot to put them up (and still had some dirty dishes on the counter). Weeell...around 1 a.m., CRASH!, - one of the cats knocked something off the counter. Anyone...please...take one of our cats (-cough- Kyle -cough) before I donate one to medical science (I'm sure some school somewhere still dissects cats like we did in 7th grade).
2. Weeds, zits for your lawn - Dave enlightened me as to the name of the weed I loathe: Dallas Grass. My sod isn't healthy enough to grow a full inch in places, but not the dallas grass...it's a whopping foot tall after all the rain in the past couple of days. Chemlawn: strike 2, it still ain't dead. Also, it's fun to ONLY have to mow the grass to get the weeds shorter.
3. Paint, it peels - This house is only 9 months old, and it's already got scuffs on the paint inside. Oh, well, nothing's new forever.
4. Selling a house, or "I'd rather have bamboo shoots under my fingernails." - excuse me, I think I'm going to get up and go vomit now.
5. The whining, "do I sound like a girl?" - I never whined this much BEFORE I owned a home. All you had to do when renting an apartment was gripe to the landlord when stuff broke or went wrong, and they fixed it. If you wanted to move, you just moved out when your lease was up. No worry about "re-leasing" it.
K, I'll shut up now...
