Taking a Cleaning Breather

Well, I've got a house bee in my bonnet again, so I'm busy packing and cleaning today. Things are looking better.

I showed St. DH a 100-year-old renovated farmhouse on over 2 acres last night and much to my surprise, he liked it! So we are hopefully going to see it in the next few days. Upsides - the 2+ acres, 5 bedrooms are all upstairs, house has been added on to (in late 1980's) and renovated at least to some extent, the family room is full of windows. Downsides - 2+ acres is a lot to care for, it's a corner lot and street that goes alongside the lot is quite busy and fast (there are evergreens/trees almost all along that side, however, and we hope to fence at least a portion), it's OLD and we don't know what is possibly wrong with it or how much has been changed/updated - I'm guessing we'll learn more when we see it. It's also at the upper end of our comfortable price range.

Anyway, I'm NOT getting my hopes up this time. I'm looking forward to seeing it, though. I figure if I stay emotionally non-commital right now, I'll know if I get that "Wow this house HAS to be ours!" feeling when I see it.

Back to my packing-cleaning-decluttering. I'm working on a box of junk that I packed away months ago in a quick-my-parents-are-coming-over tidy. Finally!!
