Man's inhumanity to Ann

I don't know what it is, but there's something ridiculously adorable about a kid in feetie pajamas.

So we put in a couple lowball offers on really nice houses this past weekend and both owners came back with similar responses: "Dream on." So we're on to Plan B. We're going to look at a few more houses this week and this weekend. It's interesting to me this phenomenon of people buying houses with cash and therefore having no mortgages and not needing to sell at a low price. In my neighborhood, that just doesn't happen. It's not even noteworthy anymore when one of our neighbors gets their gas or water turned off. You just see them going from house to house carrying buckets and extension cords. But, again, this is why we're busting our humps trying to find a nice neighborhood to live in. I don't want Lil J to grow up thinking that sort of thing is normal.
