You, Gee, Ell, Why, You ain't got no alibi, You Ugly.

Wow, it's really raining outside. It's rained all day in fact. The first real storm after the hurricanes. Things were really dry here so I welcome the rain. We haven't experienced the same wildfires of west Texas, but we did have our share of grassfires (about 30 a week) and most of North Louisiana is under a burn ban now. http://www.knoe.com/fullstory.php?id=1134

Well, my mother decided to call me back yesterday to talk me out of buying this house, again. She waved the promise of fine furniture in my face again. I stood my ground I told her that I planned to close on the house on Friday as scheduled. She said "Well, call me back when you decide to get a real house".

This is the second house she tried to talk me out of buying. I guess I should enlighten my readers my stating that after we got back to her house, Saturday, she immediately turned on the local public access which has been taken over by the real estate multi listings and pointed out every house that cost somewhere in the neighborhood of $150,000 and looks like the picture of the attractive brick home inserted into this post, as general rule. These houses are suppposed to be located in god's country, I guess. I understand that figure may sound relatively inexpensive in comparison to other places in the nation, but that kind of money can buy the American Dream in a restricted neighborhood, with landscaped lawns, underground electric, curbed streets, and backyard only wood panel fences, please. I don't guess there is really anything wrong with all that. That is just not my thing. The best part about one of those dream home places is if you don't mow the lawn on time, you will receive a polite notice in the mail addressing your self-esteem. Whatever. Too many rules to be broken, if you ask me.

In fact, I have been thinking about hanging christmas lights on my house on Friday night after I sign all those papers and burning my christmas lights on my Fauxhouse ALL YEAR LONG! That should curl mom's lip. heh!
