Yesterday was pretty busy. I'm working on my tied-for-first-favorite-sister-in-law Angie's computer. In case you were wondering, she didn't clear off her history! It was very unexciting though. No Google searches on "How to Hire a Hitman" or "the I hate my 'brother in law' fanclub". I cleared off some trojans (the malware and not the condom in case you were wondering). It's running faster but it's still having a problem that it's very slow when logging in. After it gets logged in it runs pretty fast but it takes 2-3 minutes to come up. Very irritating but I don't know if I'm going to get it figured out.
Miranda and I are in a knock-down drag-out brawl that just will not resolve. We have huge difference of opinions on homes. I like big, older homes because I think they look cool. She doesn't want the utility bill on them. As an example, I like this home. The back yard is horrible and they have actually taken the pictures off because they are so bad. It's on a 45 degree angle (or more) and really trashy. The garage is just as bad or worse. Plus it's 3,600 square feet which is too much house for 4 people. And it appears that it is haunted and ghosts really freak me out. I'm not kidding on that last part either. I know there probably aren't ghosts but the thought of them really freak me out.
She likes this house. It's smaller (2,000 square feet) and has an (unfinished) work space above the garage that we could upgrade to be my office. It also has an additional car port that we could use for Sally. It just isn't as cool as the other house.
I also like this house but that's a whole different argument. She says that I'm an "in the moment kind of guy" and she doesn't want to make a decision that we will regret later. I say that she's just mean! Meanie! Meanie!
We aren't going to make it a year without buying a house I'm afraid. I just don't have the patience and Miranda doesn't have the ability to hit me over the head with a frying pan to attempt to knock some sense into me.
This is the house that we both like but it's a bit more than we want to pay. Maybe in a year, they will come down in price. It would be do-able but I'd have to say goodbye to Sally and the H.M.S. Marie Laveau (my future sailboat).
Anywho... We are off to Vinita today to go see mom and dad. Leaving in a bit. If I wind up dead in a ditch somewhere, we didn't get our differences resolved.
