I found out I am a horrible house hunter yesterday! I'm like a little kid, easily distracted by pretty things! Every house we went into was nicely decorated and painted and all I could keep saying is “Ooo I like this couch...” Rob and our realtor probably wanted to kill me by the end of the night! Good thing they are looking at the structural part of the house while I'm dazed by the cosmetics!

Here's some highlights:

First House: Looking at family pics, Rob goes “Hey I know this guy... it's DJ Blah Blah Blah” Apparently, they used to work together at a bar back in the day!

Second House: Claimed to have 2 bathrooms... didn't mention the 2^nd bathroom was a toilet next to the washer and dryer in a walk through area to the 2^nd bedroom!

Third House: Me in the basement: “Why is there a sheet stapled to the ceiling?” Our realtor Melissa: “Better yet, why is there a dirty mattress in the corner?” Yup... people are squatting in the house!

But she saved the best for last...

Fourth House: No power, gotta use flashlights. Shoulda known better than to look at a house without pictures online. Walk in to this horrible smell... find the first bedroom that has this stain on the carpet that looks like someone has been murdered! See about 20 bleach containers on the kitchen counter... walk through the garage into the basement... smell gets much worse... look up to see black mold EVERYWHERE! Make it to the back bedroom and the walls have these weird handprints all over them! Turn around and find the biggest spider I have ever seen!!! (PS: Rob HATES spiders) I swear this coulda been the next setting for American Horror Story!

Also, was kinda disappointed... my two favorite houses were sold this week before we even had a chance to look at them! Boo!! Well I guess as they say, it can only go up from here! More houses to look at this evening... let's hope for the best!!!
