for the love of all things sacred...

so there i was, reading through the comments on my last post, enjoying the witty remarks of my friends as they congratulated me on my new house... when it happened... some jerk posted a stock market ad in the comment section of my blog. as if it's not bad enough getting 20 emails a day offering "incredible deals" on everything from mortgages to relationships to pills that will... um... nevermind. have these marketers no shame? i realize that blogs are out there for all to see, and i accept the consequences, opening myself up to criticism, etc. but, it would be so nice to have some space... gosh!

bring on the debt...

as of 3:00 on tuesday, i will be the proud owner of my first house. few things in life have made me feel this old... i mean, grown up. the entire process has been fairly simple, so don't ever let people tell you it is a pain. i have come to the conclusion that people will bend over backwards to help you if it means they are going to make money off of you. regardless, i have a house... who cares if it won't technically be mine until 2035?
