I have started the delightful process of looking into getting a new dog as we have entered escrow. I’m constantly thinking of my possible new house as everyday there is something else one has to do while in escrow. Why is this process so long? There […]
Our car is filthy. In the 7 years we have own it maybe it’s been professionally washed twice. And that may be an overstatement. It’s been washed plenty of times by mother nature who has also pelted it with hail a few times. In this sense, besides having […]
Since January of this year I have been regaling you all with my frustrating, crazy Los Angeles house-hunting stories. Every weekend since the beginning of the year, except two we spent in Hong Kong, have spent some time house searching. I like my agent and I believe she […]
