A tale of two aunts and two uncles

[cornerofmadness]

and no writerly ways since I'm home, facing deadlines and have no time whatsoever to do anything.

Both my dad's brother and his wife and my mom's brother and his wife came up here, the former in the afternoon and the latter for dinner. Oddly enough both aunts had gifts for me though one forgot it at home, something that was inside a box she got at the auction (Not sure what it is yet) and the other got me a wizard and dragon dueling over a gem which is a tesla coil/plasma ball that she got at St Vincent's De Paul's. The Wizard has a broken hand but I can fix that. How cool. This aunt also had a breast reduction recently, first time I've seen her since the surgery. She's doing well.

However as a result of this, I got next to nothing done all day. Sigh. Other than to ruin a shirt washing it (I'm really tempted to take it to Macy's and have them take it back. It fell apart on the first washing. I might be able to mend the lace).

I forgot to mention yesterday as I was cutting along 327 to Wellston to get on the highway for Athens, I saw the brown ranch that I thought was nice looking from the outside was for sale. I was excited. It's closer to Athens without being too far from Jackson or work AND is in an area I would really like to live in. So this morning mom and I looked it up. check it out OMFG one, it's WAY overpriced (I can go 3 miles more into town and get that mansion for the same money) and it is one of the UGLIEST homes I've seen yet. It looks like they knocked out a support wall to open up the living room because that is the only reason I can think of for a joist and support being in the middle of the room like this was a basement. I can not to save my soul come up with a reason for why a tin roof sheeting is the ceiling in the kitchen. If you can, share. I went thrilled from having a house I've wanted for years come on the market to desolate in seeing it's an overpriced piece of shit you couldn't give me.

Okay, that house is so bizarre, I'm not even sure what's going on with it It looks like someone thought about making it look older on the inside and modern on the outside, and it just didn't work all the way through.

ooo, pretty spoons.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

or they were going for log cabin b ut just couldn't really FIND a real one (not sure why, there are plenty here)

they are neat. Mom said I took the necklace that matched. god knows where i put them

Well, the yard isn't bad, but _what_ is going on with that faux log cabin interior? And why hasn't the "carport" in the back yard blown away in a storm by now? They could at least have built a real car shed sometime between 1974 and now. On the other hand, that built-in bar could come in handy (like, when all the 1970's brown fuggliness starts closing in on you, which, alas, would not take long).

it's a nice yard and exterior b ut i have NO idea what's up with the inside log cabin. As I told ELD, there are plenty of the real things here.

Hey that carport is in GOOD condition for down here.I'm not even kidding.

That bar would be so very needed.

Or something. It's very...peculiar.

Ahaha, well, then, you have to bring it back.

I meant to ask over on facebook, is there a certain symbolism for the Welsh re: spoons?

[winters-queen.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the kitchen and living room, I tilt my head. The one bedroom they have is nice and the bathroom is spacious.

But yeah...overpriced. I don't know if it's because you almost have two acres of land and the metal roof or what.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

a spacious bathroom is ararity

i can get many more acres with many other homes for a lot less than this

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Neat gift. You'll have to take a picture of it when you fix the wizard's hand.

That house is...interesting.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I will.

Isn't it though? Housing is just terrifying here
