January 15th

Today I got a fair bit of exercise and did a pretty good job eating. I would call it a good day all in all.

I didn't have any breakfast because we were getting the final touches on the house before we had our open house. I have always read that house work counts as exercise so I am going to count that as a little. The open house went pretty well. We had 7 groups of people come through so hopefully one of the groups will want to buy it.

After we got the house cleaned up we dropped the cat off at my sisters house and grabbed a bite to eat at Wendy's before we went to look at some open houses. I had a spicy asiago chicken sandwich, large fries and a frosty. I love frostys so I have to large size me meal to get a larger frosty. Not the healthiest meal but I could have done worse I guess.

My main exercise came from the fact that we couldn't park in front of almost any houses we looked at. On the bright side we saw one house that we really liked and a few others that were nice.

The first house we looked at was a spilt level nut it had a lot of room in it for a split level. The up stairs was nice. It had three bedroom and and a bathroom. It also had a nice deck off the dinning area. We liked the new wood floors through out the entire upstairs living areas as well. The only down side was that the house needed a lot of paint. There was a pink and a blue bedroom. Also all the cabinets in the kitchen were a dark pink color. The down stairs had a nice large family room, a fourth bedroom/office, and a laundry/bathroom. It was very nice and much larger then I expected. The living area downstairs was red but I kind of liked it. The back yard was a nice size and it had a shed witch I like. It also head a Hot Tub. It didn't say anything about the hot tub staying in the info on the house but I would try to work it into the offer of the house.

The second house we saw was a smaller 2 bedroom. It had been worked on but it just didn't feel like it would fit us. The price was a little high and it was on a busy street with no street parking so we took it off the list of houses we like.

The next house we looked at was a cute little 2 bedroom house. This one we had to park about 2 blocks away from so we got a walk in on the way there and back. It was a cute little house with a nice little eat in kitchen. It had two bedrooms and a bathroom that was nice. Some had done a little work to the house but not a lot. The basement was clean and unfinished. It had a nice little back yard and a very small garage that was on a kind of busy street. We didn't totally throw this house out because we liked the area and it was cute but it is not in the love pile of houses either.

The next house was by far the worst of the day. It was very small upstairs with no updating at all. But the basement was the killer. Some one had finished the ceilings in it so low that I had to duck in most of the basement to walk around. And the stairs to the basement were so vertical I felt like I was going to fall down them and I had to bear crawl up them. Needless to say this one went in the trash pile before we even got out of the house.

The last house we looked at was nice little house on a busy street. We kind of liked this house because it had some nice updating in the kitchen and all new windows through out the entire house. The basement had been finished a long time ago and would need some work to make it a usable space again but there was a lot of room down there with an extra bathroom as well. It was right across the street from the local play house and a library so that would be very fun to live at. It also had a cement pad to turn your car around on in the back yard next to the garage so you didn't have to back out onto the busy street it was on. Over all we liked the house but it went in the like pile not the love pile.

After we got done looking at houses we picked up the cat from my sisters and headed home. When I got home I laid on the couch and got caught up on some of my TV fro the last few weeks. It made for a nice relaxing day. I did do some munching while I laid on the couch. I had a few glasses of milk, a sleeve of Oreos(That was bad) and then I munched on some pistachio nuts for awhile. So I probably should have not done the sleeve of Oreos but the nuts aren't to bad for me.

Finally about seven thirty we made some rice with chicken and mushrooms for supper. It is a nice simple meal and neither of us were starving so it worked out well. Then we turned in early and got started watching the 2011 World's Strongest Man we had recorded all of on Saturday evening. It is a guilty pleasure show we watch every year.

So over all we did a lot of walking to houses and around houses so I am going to say I got a pretty good amount of exercise today and other then the Oreos I did a good job eating as well.
