I BOUGHT A HOUSE!!!!!!!!

Closed on the house yesterday! It was a lot of signing, but went smoothly. Met the seller and he was very nice. His wife wasn't able to be there. Actually got $ back at closing...about $600, due to the earnest money I put down as well as too much money having been put in escrow for the taxes and insurance. E and I went out to dinner at Red Lobster, her favorite place that she's been asking to go to for months. I celebrated by drinking about half of a strawberry daquari. It was way too sweet though. Then we went to some craft stores and got some basic acrylic painting supplies and a canvas for each of us. We've decided we want to use our own art to decorate the house so I thought we'd try out painting. Acrylics are nice to use because they clean up with water and don't have the fumes like oil paints. It's fun playing with colors, textures, shapes but my favorite way of expressing my creativity is through digital art...manipulating my own photo's in programs like Adobe Photoshop and exploring fractals.

When we got home I crashed and didn't want to do anything except lounge in bed and watch TV. It felt like the end of a long roller coaster ride and I just wanted to do nothing.
