January 9th

Today was not the best food or exercise wise. We went out looking at houses in the evening so that contribute to the down fall of both but we did see some nice houses.

I slept in and did not have breakfast just a cup of coffee on the way to work.

For lunch I ate way to much food. I had a hot pocket that I brought with me from home because I had left my lunch at work last Friday. Then I had my string cheese and granola bar from last Friday. I also had my frozen dinner that was in my lunch from last Friday as well. It was Buffalo Snackers. The real problem came when I found a snickers bar that I had put in my lunch bag some time last week. I ate that and it gave me a sweet tooth and so I got a Twix from the vending machine.

For supper we grabbed some taco Bell on our way home from looking at houses. I had a cheese gordita crunch, 2 hard shell tacos and a Frito crunchy burrito. I was a little pleased with my self because I did suppress the urge to get two more crunchy tacos.

I did get a little exercise walking through houses when we went out top look at houses. We saw 4 houses but one of them had sold that day so we didn't get to go in it. We liked two of the tree houses so it was a pretty good night.

The first house was small but nice. The big draw back to it a very small kitchen and almost no existent dinning room. But the living room and bed rooms were a nice size and the basement was very nice with a nonconforming bedroom/office in it, a large family room and a nice laundry/storage room. The real positive of the house was the main floor bathroom. It was filled ceiling to floor with a beautiful shower and nice vanity sink in it. The house was a little high priced for it's size but it is staying on the list of houses we like.

The second house was a bust. The picture on-line showed a ice living room and the living room was very nice but the rest of the house was in need of some serious work. One of the bedrooms had geometric shapes painted all over the room with matching curtains. There were a lot over things wrong with the house but lets just say it wasn't the house for us.

The third house was a multi level house and we liked it a lot. The living room and kitchen were on one level together. The living room had all nice hard wood floors and was very large. The kitchen was large with lots of cabinets and counters and plenty of room for a table. The upper level had three bedrooms and a bathroom. The bathroom upstairs did not have a shower so that would have to be something we would put in, but there was a shower in the basement so it was not a house killer. The three bedrooms all had wood floors and were a nice size. The third bedroom had a small door in the wall that opened into a huge attic crawl space above the living room that would be great for storage. There was another level that you cam in to on the front door that had a door to the basement, a door to the attached garage and a door in to a bonus room that would work great for games or crafts. Finally in the basement there was a bathroom with a shower and then room for storage and the washer and dryer. The only draw back to the house was that it was on a busy street. But it was on a corner so that was nice. Also it had an alley at the back of the property that you could easily put a cement slab or garage on at some point so you could park off the street.

The forth house looked nice in the pictures but as I said before we did not get to see the inside because when we got there it had a sold sign in the yard.
