Ok, I’m getting the urge to build a new house again. I’ve now been in this house for over three years and pretty much know everything I’d want to change in a new house. My ideal situation would be to start building while still living here as to not have to move twice, but realistically I doubt the bank would go for that. The idea of renting or buying something smaller in the meantime does not sound appealing.
Of course, I’m not even sure where I’d build a new house - I’d need to buy a lot first. I’m considering building outside the city limits, but there are pros and cons to that…
Pros: Less property taxes, More personal space, Own well so no water costs, Lower gas costs with own tank.
Cons: More upkeep, Farther from town to cart kids to activities and grab a soda when having a caffeine fit.
Such decisions. Time to start manifesting my dreams.
Other than that, Life is good today!

If you’re a long time reader, you’ll know that my favorite color is pink. And when I painted the girls’ bedrooms three year ago, I painted them exactly how I would have loved to have a room when I was a kid.
Well, my youngest daughter is complaining that she wants “a new room”. It isn’t good enough that she got a brand new bed (she still crawls in bed with me all the time, even though she’s eleven now). She claims she hates pink {gasp}! I ask what color she wants to paint her room. Her favorite color is orange. Orange?! I hate orange!
So I’m wondering why I hate the color orange so much. Oh. My. Gawd. Could it be because my room growing up - that my mother decorated - was orange!? Am I turning into my mother?!
I’ve already decided that the next house I build, I promise to let the kids pick out their own colors for their rooms. Now, let’s just hope I get that house built before they are all grown and moved out!
Of course, on my goal list, ideally I would like to be married first before building again. Because let’s face it, no one takes a woman as serious as a man when it comes to picking out bricks and shingles.
