this morning i was SO CLOSE to sleeping in.  soooooo close.  my guy got up and started getting ready for work, and i hit snooze twice more.  finally he came in and forcibly removed me from the bed.  he’s a good man.  so i did end up going to the gym this morning. 

i was having some really wack dreams… and i wish i could remember the details… something about the world being destroyed and being on the run… i think i’ve been watching too much battlestar galactica, lol.  can’t help it.  that show is good. 

i really hope that our download of season 1 is done today… when i left for work this morning it was 60% done.  and we started it on sunday.  *sigh*  i’m far far too impatient for this.  but then again, it’s like 13 one hour episodes.  so it’s kinda understandable.

can i just say one more time that bittorrent rules my world.  ’cause it does. 

so, i’ve been slowly discovering the “joys” of home ownership.  first it was the $3,000 assessment that we had to pay for repairs on another building in our strata… then it was the bill coming for our property taxes… at least $1,000 (i was scared to look at it) and yesterday we got a bill from the city for our utilities for $400.  wtf?  i thought that shit was covered in the strata fees.  fuuuuuuck.  

i have no idea where i’m coming up with this money.  i had to get a line of credit to pay the assessment… and i really really don’t want to go further into debt.  but i guess i don’t really have a choice.  i miss renting.    fer real.  whatever.  just had to bitch there for a second… i really didn’t think about all these hidden bills and shit when we bought the place.  what can i say?  it was our first time, lol.  there’s a steep learning curve.

    Lol, I totally know what you mean about hidden costs. With the whole garbage disposal thing I pay about $440 a year too! I think it’s b/c as a Strata you can hire whatever independent garbage/recycling contractor you would like. Perhaps your building just chooses the city? Weird. I know.

    Dang. Owning a house terrifies me. Looking for a house terrifies me even more.

    We just started getting our shit together in order to take the plunge into mortgageville. Ay.
