Property Tycoon

About a week ago, we bought a house. Our first EVER.

I was sooooooo nervous that my hands were all clammy & shaking.

We were really determined to get ourselves a great buy (the asian in us was frothing at the mouth, for a bargain) but we love this place & didn't want to miss out all-together.
We pretty much came just under our 'ceiling' price by approx. 20k & thought we were AWESOME when our offer was accepted (maybe a little too quickly) the next day. What a price for our 'dream home'!

We have entered the market.. and as PROPERTY TYCOONS.
Then a couple of days later, I logged onto the real estate website & saw the following under the listing for our place..

Another property SOLD in 10 days!

Bleh.

What no Barleys?

The other day I got 'tagged'.. when I have time (& feel inspired) I'll get to it, but for now I'll say this: me & the few mates I know who blog are not the only ones (watf?).

I did some research (because I'm a closet nerd) and found that Justin got tagged by Cat, Cat by Sha & I KNOW SHA! She's creative & talented (judging by her blog) & I never knew. She refers to someone else who blogs, who lives in the US & is sooooo funny. Half an hour goes by & I've been engrossed reading blogs written by people I don't even know. Yup, strange, I know.

Suddenly my blogs seem insignificant & not completely up to scratch. I need to get interesting.. is there a store somewhere where I can buy me some o' that?

So being tagged has opened my eyes to the size of the blog community & I am worried by the quality of my contribution.

Is there no BARLEYS?
At least give me some time to think (or plageurise).

Also request the following from Mother Nature, in her absence or for lack of authority on such matters.. please make a deal with Global Warming:

Friday pm: fine & warm (perfect beer-drinking weather)
Saturday am: raining (nothing to do except clean the house or read a good book)
Saturday pm: fine & warm (time to hit the beach, dine alfresco or roam the streets with a loved one, whilst eating icecream)
Sunday am: fine but a little cool/ cloudy (laundry & wash the car)
Sunday pm: Fine & warm (a little more of what was done on Saturday arvo plus squeeze in a Sunday sesh)

If the above bill is passed.. maybe I won't be so suicidal on a Monday.
