Ah….the holidays are over, and it’s time to start house-hunting again.

We went this morning to look at a house that was less impressive than we had hoped.  The highlight of the viewing was when I opened up the bathroom cabinet and found a lovely red wig.    The house is vacant and otherwise empty.

I find it funny and surprising how much house-hunting is like trying to find a mate.  The way that certain houses attract me — the emotions that build when I think I’ve found The House.  The disappointment when I realize that the house probably isn’t The House after all.  Hell, I think I’ve already found The House a dozen times — just from looking at listings in the newspapers.

It’s funny, too, how much I’m learning about myself throughout this process.  That I’m impatient…maybe a little idealistic and naive…what a fantastic experience this will be!
