June 1 closing date!

For all the new folks, Welcome!!!!  I'm purchasing a short sale townhouse across from the college where I work. The price 30k, and it will save me gas, car wear and tear, nearly 2 hours a day commute. It's going to be a little strange to feel so indulgent but I can afford, I'm keeping my "country house" and will be in the city during the week. Also who knows what else I will be doing in the future? I'm going to practice asking my friends for help so that I can pull up carpet, put in laminate wood floors, paint and etc. It's only sorta freaking me out. I'm so not use to making decisions for me without being concerned about anyone else's needs. I know that I've kept my needs small as a way to try and manage my unmet needs, yikes (just realizing this). You know that connection to needs, apparent I've done something to short circuit them...if you don't have needs, when people don't ever meet them, you'll still be okay. Ugh, something to look at. This is why I need to take care of myself without any restrictions put on me by others or by me. I need to figure out how to break that short circuit and connect with my needs again.

Hello, New Friend, and congrats on your new home!

I have never made a major purchase without weighing the risks/benefits to other people in my life, so I celebrate your decision whole-heartedly!!!

Yep, I'm at that point in my life and there's no one to answer to but me. Part of this is due to being single...first time in over 6 years and teh boy should be making his own decisions about his future too!

Hey, good for you! Sounds like a good move for many reasons.

Nice to meet you, by the way. Looking forward to getting to know you.

keir says hand him stuff and tell him what to do.

[zestfive.livejournal.com]

LOL, I'm so not good at telling people what to do! Actually I'm going to do an open house after I close and have a list if people want to help they can sign up for a specific task. I have lots of friends who want to help me and it would be too hard to choose.

Saving 2 hours daily commute is darn near worth almost anything. Congrats on finding a way to make life a little saner!

Hi there! Found you via friending freindzy. You seem really interesting! No pressure to add me back, but if you like my style of journaling, feel free to! (not a big fan of the obligatory add back)

I'm Karen, nice to meet you!

Friended you back, grin. Nice to meet you...I'm Lisa.
