I’m a big believer in Karma. Remember Mr. Spamfuck, my former landlord who wanted to sell me his son’s house and therefore raised our rent the minute we balked at the high price of his son’s house?
Well…that house we leased for 1 year and fell in love with and were told we could buy for a mere $315,000 is now on the market for a still overpriced $169,900. Zillow says it’s worth a bit less perhaps. I have to laugh now. The landlord’s sons yellow house I rather liked….still hasn’t sold either.
Don’t remember what I’m referring to…..check old blog entry here
And here is Mr. Spamchuck’s house currently on the market for a whopping $145,500 less a year later. And irony of all irony’s….Skip is trying to sell it for him.
I love my house…I’m grateful that it all worked out for us. I truly am. I held out for something that fit our financial plan and felt right when I walked in. Felt right as in on all levels. Right space, etc. I walked into my current house and knew it was right for us. I am merely pointing out that Karma exists because these people treated us rather poorly. In the past few years each and every time someone treats me bad I just sit back and say little to nothing because Karma has a way of working things out.
Rick also bought this from Craig’s list for me for my birthday (at my request) and got a great deal. It was a birthday gift from Rick. Our TV doesn’t fit but we’re in the market for a smaller flat screen anyway. I had this mammoth TV when Keith was 4 years old. I just can’t bring myself to ditch something that’s been working all those years without a glitch. I also won it in the Big Divorce of ’03 and the ex got the little crap TV that promptly broke while moving. (ha..Karma again!) This is in the library.
This room used to have this little TV stand that Rick brought home for free…it worked for the purpose but had little to no storage and I was in desparate need of some more storage for so many things without a home. Like that printer we never really use, etc. I hate the way the big TV covers up that window…but that window faces the back patio…..and its never open anyway. Not blocking a great view…so to speak. The books are all hanging on the wall still…not stacked on top like it appears.
