kneel before zod!

We put in another offer on another place and it's been accepted by the seller. Now it just needs to be accepted by the bank and then we enter escrow. It is a 2 bedroom place in Lake Forest (eeeee so excited/nervous/excited)! If it happens, I will be moving out 30 days after that.

So, naturally, in an excess of enthusiasm, I started looking at appliances and paint and thinking of ways to decorate (we have a HUGE number of nerdy posters. Like all three LotR ones and 2 Superman Returns ones, 3 WoW cinematic posters, a Starcraft one, etc and we're getting them framed for epic decoration of taste and class) and so I was looking at paint colors.

You guys, you guys, you guys: there's a paint color called "krypton." and it's a pretty pale blue. I think I have found the color my bedroom is going to be! yay!

Oooooh. Good luck! Home ownership is awesome; I totally do not miss the alternatives.

:D It really came down to the idea that the mortgage/HOA/taxes/interest/insurance was *maybe* $100-200 more than renting.

And at that point, there's really no reason not to buy if you're in the position to. Or at least that was my thinking.

But yay! I am excited!
