Scream

I have nothing to say about the house since I'm waiting for the seller to respond to the addendum that I want $2,000 for the termites and the lack of a vapor barrier.
I keep reminding myself that this house is $35,000 so...yeah. If it needs work, then that's the cost of getting a house for that [little].
So now I'm going to waste time making a list of everything I'll need, from the most mundane to every fantasy item I would love to have if I didn't have a budget. There are so many things you don't even think of needing to buy because it's so everyday common that you just expect every life to come with these things.

The Every Day:
  • Towels, washcloths
  • Yard tools: rake, weed whacker, gardening tools, lawnmower
  • Dinnerware
  • Flatware
  • Cookware
  • Glassware & pitcher
  • Bakeware
  • Kitchen table and chairs
  • Sofa, armchairs, coffee table
  • Lamps
  • Hangers
  • Curtains/window treatments
  • RAMEKINS! (My sister can completely relate--you know how cooks on TV always have every single ingredient from a pinch of salt to eggs to flour in individual bowls? yeah...that's what I'm talking about.)
  • A TV and DVD player
  • Batteries
  • Telephones/answering machine (I almost forgot!) .... Even though it wouldn't match a damn thing there has always been a part of me that wants a candlestick phone. And so far this is the awesome.
  • Broom & dustpan
  • Vacuum
  • Garbage cans
  • Mop & bucket
  • Cleaning supplies
  • Garden hose
  • Lawnchairs
  • Windchimes
The Fantasy:
  • Garden pond (300 gallons)
  • A gazebo/pergola
  • Patio table and chairs
  • BBQ grill
  • Hammock
  • Fire bowl
  • Large flat-panel wall-mounted TV
  • Dishwasher
  • Endless supply of money
