Burning RED: Taylor Swift Visits Detroit

Few things are stranger than seeing the Motor City overrun by teenage girls, all clad in red and black, singing pop songs at the top of their lungs. Except, maybe, typically-vacant Detroit intersections crammed with soccer mom SUV's, windows rolled down to blare ten thousand different projections of the same exact song.

Of course, I'm talking about The Day Taylor Swift Came to Town.

The Itsy Bitsy Spider: A Cautionary Tale

If you know me, you know that I do not do well with bugs of any sort. Little bugs, big bugs, I don't care--they're invasive and don't belong in my house. So, when I see them crawling around, I squish them. Or, if they're extra scary, I find Brad and have him take care of it.

House Hunters Winternational

I've been away from you guys for way too long, and I know it. I've been itching to write and tell you allllll about my life, which hasn't been too out of the ordinary these past few weeks, but noteworthy in at least the smallest amount.

[By the way, have you checked out my recent Awesome Mitten post? Click here to join me on a weekend stroll through Detroit. :) ]

Anyway. As I was saying.

Remember when I told you guys about that house Brad and I put an offer on? Well, it's no more, sadly. I mean, the house is still there, but the offer/contract/whatever was on all that paperwork has evaporated. Long story short: we had the inspection, there was a lot of repair work to be done (and a lot of money to be spent), we put in a counter-offer, and the homeowners didn't budge. So, we walked away, and that was that.

Now, it appears as though we are back to house hunting. All over again.
