Shopping for a new Home

DG and I decided last year that we were going to put our house on the market in the spring. Well spring has almost sprung and so far we've gone out and looked at about 18 houses and have found absolutely nothing we want to buy. Every house has something that is not quite perfect. The house is really nice, but it is across the street from a major church and one block away from a major street; or the neighborhood is great which knocks the price of the house up, but the home hasn't been decorated since 1969 so it means a total gut and redo.

As we entered a house last week, I thought I had stepped into Vegas in the 70s. Every wall was mirrored floor to ceiling and had electric blue carpet throughout. The basement had hot pink carpet with red lighting down the stairs. One room had a parquet dance floor and another room had a built in couch, with mirrored walls, and lighted flower boxes filling the entire wall with fake green shrubbery. This of course was in front of the fully stocked bar with disco lights above it. As I was expecting Frank Sinatra to pour me a drink and start dealing some cards, the Mickey Mouse phone in the room rang.

Needless to say, I was cackling like a hyena when we left. And the search goes on...
