What I learned tonight

First, I learned that I'm an idiot for posting the same post twice. Second, I learned that I don't know how to delete a post. If anyone knows and however unlikely is reading this, can you send instructions?

New facebook game....My City

Facebook | My City
This is a kind of stupid facebook game, unless I'm missing the point. I am trying to build a city, but I can only add once citizen per day...usually you can do at least a little more than this, to get you addicted.

Mortgage widget

I found this widget on the zillow site...pretty neat.
I just wish that when I called my lender I got these same rates. I just had an offer accepted on a house, and I was expected to pay 5.9% for money, and he's telling me I need to pay 7%. Arrggghh. hopefully I can find something better.

Our latest house?

9756 Dayton Ave N, Seattle, WA 98103 | $379,950 | Greenwood Real Estate

We made an offer on this house this afternoon. Our realtor called last night, and said it had just come on the market, after a previous deal fell through. So we took a look at it this morning, and made an offer this afternoon. We're now waiting to hear back from them. Apparently there is another offer that they are reviewing along with ours today.

It's got two small bedrooms upstairs and two slightly larger on the main floor. The biggest drawback...only one bathroom. But we may put a second bathroom in the basement. But first step is getting our offer accepted. Second step is figuring how to pay for it. Then we will deal with renovations and/or upgrades.
