adobe abode


So, I've become obsessed recently with real estate. I watch HGTV like a madman. It's incredible, humans live almost everywhere, and they manage to leave their personal mark on any place they call their own. I need to buy a house. I can make it mine, make it cool, make it livable. I go to thrift stores a lot lately, and I see a ton of other people's garbage that I could turn into home decor gold. Sadly, I am without employ at the moment. Wanting to own land, is fueling a larger fire under my ample butt. ME NEED CASH! No, not just cash, a real job. A job that I can show is going to keep paying me, so that some wanky financial institution will loan me the 6 figures I'll need to purchase my abode. "Abode" and "adobe" are almost the same word. They contain the same letters and share similar semantic properties, as well as part of speech. I've never noticed that before. I would love to have an adobe abode one day. An old AZ house with archways and original hardwood floors, that would be killer. Alright, now to find that income...

  1. A Pete-Blog? Awesome. Another must-read for me :)
    Maybe you could get a real estate license? You'd get income and feed your new-found housing fascination. Win/Win!

  2. Susan! This is fun, the two of us staying connected through mutual bloggery! Yeah I've thought about that, but my aunt says the real estate game is difficult right now. But it could be a good time to get in and get my hands dirty...hmm.
