Not that it will make any difference in my blogging habits, but I am off to Ohio for a week. Happy holidays to all!

I'm a homeowner! And a Southsider!

Still no closing figure, but I just learned that my condo used to belong to the executive secretary of Allan Bloom and that Bloom and Saul Bellow, among others, used to go to cocktail parties in my condo!! Ok, so maybe no one else will be as excited by this as I am, but I thought it was incredibly cool! And that’s why I paid too much for a small condo—it’s got character! :)

Not freaking out, not freaking out, not freaking out...

Closing's in 40 hours, and I don't know how much closing costs are. I figure if I keep telling myself that I'm not freaking out, I'll start to believe it...
