You should start a new FF Friends thread! We've had a lot of new people join since I made it. The old thread is useless, though, because it used tinypic for the images.

Bummer! You had really good instructions and screenshots on that thread.

Anyways - HI! Hope you are doing well.
I have several hours to kill if you want me to PM you new images so you can start a thread if you're not mobile. I'm SO BORED. I want to make smoothies, but it's not even 6a yet and I think the guys might get mad if I wake them up this early. lol

Nah, that's ok. I'll post a thread now. But thanks!!
penguin129 I'm glad to hear your mom is ok!! That is so scary, actually a huge fear of mine. I hope she can get it fixed quickly! And GL with the house buying!! I'm in the camp of going belowwww budget esp on your first house. There can be several unexpected expenses, for example an oil heater exploding, and you will appreciate having the extra funds for that type of stuff. When we were buying, we also bought a 2/1, everyone else hated it & told us not to buy it. We saw the potential because it was in a GREAT town/location, had a much larger yard than other houses, and we knew we could renovate if/when it made sense to. Here we are almost done with our reno and now everyone loves it, point being only YOU and H know best - you get to live there and be happy in it.
requiressnacks Damn that sucks.. I'm a habitual spiller. At least your dress hides it? But I'd need more coffee.
I'm at work. I think I chose the wrong shoes this morning. I already have a blister on my heel and I've only been here for an hour. Why can't I wear slippers to work?
I didn't change into my heels yesterday I wore my snow boots around the office, it was so nice. If I don't have any meetings I'll probably stay in my snow boots again.

penguin129 glad your mom is okay! I agree with others about going below budget if possible. You don't want to overstretch. You know better than anyone what you guys can handle. Just go with your gut!
penguin129 hope your mom is ok and her house too! GL buying your house! TheEleventhHour yum waffles. I want waffles. Even if it's just the eggo kind. But will have to do with my sad oatmeal.

penguin129 on the flip side, we bought a much larger house than we need currently (it's just me and H and a zoo of pets and we have 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms). But it was well below our max budget and it's a 1970s fixer upper. I hated the kitchen when we bought it but I had a vision of what it could be in my head. And over the years we fix up one room at a time but we are always very conscious of our budget. Just another option if you're concerned about a big house vs a small house.
penguin129 glad your mom is okay! My 2 cents worth is if you're happy with the 2/1 and it's easier on your budget, buy that one. Hardly anyone stays in a house for 20-30 years anymore so it's not a permanent situation. When you're ready to make that upgrade back to 3 you'll feel better about spending the extra money on a larger house.

We did the same thing penguin129 we bought a 5 bedroom 4 bathroom house, it was still within our budget. A lot of things needed updating and while we've only been there 2 1/2 years we are just taking our time doing one room/project at a time.

penguin129 , We did the same thing as mustloveerica , bought a house far too big for us. But we really didn't want to have to deal with selling a house in favor of finding another one later on down the road.
One of the issues we faced was residency requirements. MH's job required we live in a particular town, no exceptions. At a 'good' time there are 17-20 houses on the market. Usually there is about 10-12. So that influenced our decision.

penguin129, I'm glad your mom is ok! That must have been scary! Buying under your budget is a great idea if you think the house will work for your family. MH and I bought a house at the top of our budget and I regret it. We were sold on the idea of building the house and getting to pick the finishes and having the builder pay most of the closing costs. The house is in a very desirable are with the best schools, which was important to us. But now our budget is really tight, to the point that we considered not trying to have another child. If we are successful in TFAS, money with be very very tight for awhile. And we don't really care for our neighbors much (they're very clique-y and superficial.) Our house has gained value since we bought it a year ago and I often think about selling it and moving to a different area of town where we could get a cheaper house. If it wasn't for the school district, I wouldn't even hesitate.

This is really random I hate wearing black, I feel like I bring everyone of my cats to work with me. I have a lint roller at home, in my car and at my desk and I find cat hair everywhere.

penguin129 - just remember at the end of the day it is YOU that lives in the house and not your inlaws. We bought within our budget and love our house. My mom hates our location, but she only comes over 4-5 times per year. Not worth making her happy.
requiressnacks - sorry abou your coffee. I dropped mine on the floor at work yesterday.
I'm totally sitting at my desk with my shoes off. I've seriously thought abou bringing in house slippers. My office is hidden in a hallway with 3 other people.

Preach!! Sometimes I find cat hair in my lunch :-(
FFTC: I go home at lunch to let my puppy outside. When he was younger I would carry him upstairs after his potty to put him in his crate. One time I made it all the way back to work and into a meeting before I realized I had a streak of puppy poo on my leg...

H's car has the interior that cat hair clings to. He drove me into work today so I had to coordinate my outfit to match the cat hair.

oh no!
I am letting how a huge sigh of relief right now when you mentioned finding cat hair in your lunch. I find it in my food sometimes too. I try to be so careful, our kitchen is actually gated so the cats can't get in. I think it happens mostly when I bring food into other rooms of the house.

rablissful I should totally keep different shoes (preferably slippers) in my room to wear for my after school program for when something like this happens. No one would even know except the kids who don't pay attention anyway.
wannabmama A lot of the teachers here wear tennis shoes in a regular basis anyway. I just don't because I don't have the job security they have. Lol.
gabride2010 I don't! But I could probably find someone who does. I should keep some in my room though.
peaseblossom55 I love wearing boots. I always do it on casual Fridays but should make it a Monday-Thursday thing too.
I've found dog hair in my food. Not entirely sure how, since she can't get onto the counters. I must just carry it with me everywhere.
I just remembered that H woke me up this morning to leave for work by gently removing the thermometer from my mouth, where I had fallen asleep with it. Sounds silly, but it was so sweet how gentle he was.

I always wear black and have dog hair all over. This thread has caused me to start a list of things to bring to work tomorrow...

penguin129, I agree with everyone else that it's good to go under budget for a house if you can make it work for your family. Financial stress is the worst! It will keep you up at night, unlike the lack of an additional bed/bath.
kayladawn91, rooskie, when I worked, I often wore a nice outfit with these not very attractive Merrell slip ons. Being able to move freely is so important to me!
