What is a true eclectic to do when her passions lead her in different directions?
This is a blog for the unfocused, the round pegs in the square holes, the short-attention span types, and all those who just can't bring themselves to join the ranks and adhere to a single category of activities or interests...whether sketches, drawings and comics, fixing an old farmhouse in Oregon, or whatever else strikes my fancy.

Counter-Offer (12-07-09)
The terms of the counter-offer were so ridiculous, they were almost funny. The seller wanted to rent the house back from us, for a ridiculous price, and for an indefinite period of time. So, we rejected her counter-offer.
That's something my real estate agent suggested when I was trying to buy my house- because we had no guarantee that the owner would vacate the property until they bought another place. She wasn't comfortable closing so soon. I thought it was a generous offer, she'd have a place to stay until she found somewhere... but looking back on it, she'd purchased the place for 85,000 less than I was offering, which meant her monthly payment was LOW compared to what I'd ask for in rent, so no wonder she turned it down.
