D and I are currently in the process of tentative house-hunting. Tentative as in we won't know if we'll be moving until March 18th, but we want to jump in on the first-time home buyers tax incentive, blah blah blah. So we're looking, but just keeping our eyes open for now. For me, that means watching a lot of HGTV House Hunters, as well...
Last weekend there was an open house in a gated community right behind where we currently live, so we trundled ourselves over there after church to see how it was. The house was lovely and of course we did the typical things like comment on the woodwork and the size of the rooms, whatever. As we were about to leave, E requested that we go upstairs and look around for a second time, so we obliged. But apparently what he wanted was to truly examine the floor coverings, because once he had done so, he loudly stated, "Well, we can always take this carpet out."
The realtor, who was standing downstairs, started laughing. Thank goodness.
Because then as we went back downstairs, he perused the carpet on the stairs, and declared, "I don't really like the color of this carpet, but we can change it."
D said he needs to be on a strict regimen of Spike TV every day. But I think we'll value his opinion when the time comes to actually buy our first home together...
