I'm here

Funny how many of the good names for blogs are taken.

I was looking for a new name for some of my more individual thoughts and rants, and I seriously had like 20 in a row that were already taken that I thought were original.  I noticed that most of them hadn't been edited since 2001 or 2002.  Jerks.  Stealing the good names and camping on them For-Ev-Er.

So the economy is rough.  We're looking to buy a house.  I figure house prices are pretty good.  So now we need to see if we can get a mortgage.

We would really like our own place.  It'd be spectacular.  But I still don't know if the time is right.  An Oppenheimer analyst said today that prices should go down another 25%.  I would hate to jump in now if that's the case.  But then again, the new socialist bailout proposals are sure to keep foreclosures down, which means prices go up.  Which means more expensive houses.  Good for banks, bad for me.

Actually, I'd like to rant on that for a minute.  I had a rant typed up but I deleted it because it makes me angry.  Suffice it to say that I find the bailout plan, capping short sales, and and this last minute response to be reckless, harmful, and overly socialistic.  And McCain's comments have kinda made me sad.

The Office starts in 2 days.  And Pushing Daisies starts October 1.  These are our favorite shows. 

In other news, Haylee is not enjoying some of her classes at school.  Apparently music theory can be a beast.

I start work at 6:30, so I'm doing pretty good at getting to bed by 9:30, but Haylee's been staying up later working on homework.  
:-(.

In fact, I'm going to go to bed right now and she's still at her choir practice.  Poor Haylee.
