Walking to work this morning I saw a jeep coming my way (I was at a crosswalk so it’s ok). It had a sticker on the front window that went across the top. It was also upside down so I stared at it a bit trying to decipher what it said. Once I read it, I actually chuckled out loud:<\/p>\n
“If you can read this, please flip me back over”<\/p>\n
Sometimes, it’s the simple things in life that can make your day.<\/p>\n
Nothing new to report. I’m heading back to one of the condos I viewed over the weekend. I want to give it the once over again. HMMM – I guess that means I’m giving it the twice over? Anyway, I also stumbled upon another listing for a place in Somerville…just a few blocks from Porter Square T-station (where I normally commute to from Boston every morning). This place is REALLY cheap ($228,500) and larger than any of the other places I’ve seen…and at a lower price. The bathroom and kitchen were recently remodeled but the rest of the place could use some SERIOUS cosmetic work. As in the first condo Matt and I bought together 5 years ago, this place has green carpet.<\/p>\n
The downside is that the exterior of the building is ass-ugly (one of those red brick buildings built between the 50’s and 70’s with no charm at all). The other property I’m looking at for a second time had architectural detail and charm…but over 100 square feet less of living space and $12,000 more in price. Plus, this one is closer to the subway AND includes a parking spot (which I’d use for guests).<\/p>\n
Decisions, decisions.<\/p>\n
