That's a Circus McGurkus photo if I ever saw one!<br><br>Speaking of photos, Adam broke my camera. Oh dear, I made need to get a replacement for Mother's Day!<br><br>Yes, I would wait for chickens.

Love that photo, my vote: it's a 'work-in-progress'.

Now we ...We owned a house for quarter of a century. Now we rent. It's not that bad being a tenant. My landlord, or his representative, maintains our pool, sends us a weekly team of heroes to do the garden, fixes the plumbing, fixes the air-conditioner, sends help whenever we need it to repair or replace something. Sure it's someone else's asset, and we're paying for it, but it's kind of nice not having the responsibility of all that boring old maintenance. Plus, never forget that San Diego is the most expensive real estate on the planet! The p-l-a-n-e-t! And values are falling as the recession kicks in. Worse looms: it's good to hang fire and wait a while - honest!Lesleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07175734326888791038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3534240.post-18882924657966831522008-04-24T19:28:56.029-07:002008-04-24T19:28:56.029-07:00Natalie, I love hearing your thoughts!

I wouldn't push the landlord issue right now, but if it's not an issue, then go ahead and get your chicas! I'm dealing with about 35 'landlords' right now... and I OWN my property! Darn city ordinances!!!!Emhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04451102661519375820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3534240.post-3031016022295304912008-04-25T02:16:54.929-07:002008-04-25T02:16:54.929-07:00I shouldn't laugh at the thought of your pants...I shouldn't laugh at the thought of your pants (A) smelling bad, or (B) being half your wardrobe - but I did. Should I feel guilty? These things happen, and as you found out they have a solution.<br><br>I agree with your non-chicas decision. You actually ARE making some good decisions here, they're just not the progressive (spacious home/land owning) decisions you have waited so long for. Waiting is HARD. REALLY HARD. 'I WANT TO STAMP MY FEET AND SCREAM' HARD somedays! We hear ya!<br><br>And that WIP called a yard, sigh. What if you rented a builder's bin and just ditched it all? You guys could use that space. Maybe the landlord would be happy to pay for that! It could feel liberating! - Unless it is YOUR stuff in which case I should just crawl in a hole somewhere...<br><br>Keep writing, keep sifting your thoughts... I'll keep reading and loving the questions!Laura Janehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13299523378009842115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3534240.post-43224585770804627042008-04-25T13:31:08.714-07:002008-04-25T13:31:08.714-07:00The test of a first-rate intelligence is the abili...The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function. <br><br>-- F.

Drooling if it is.<br><br>We found a large piece of land with a true fixer-upper house -- within walking distance of our current house and we never even knew it was there.
