House Hunting (pt 1)

We finally decided go house hunting. First, don't believe what you see on House Hunters on HGTv. They make it look so nice and easy, three houses prewrapped in a nice pretty bow for your choosing. (Not to mention the civil discussions the couples make)

We have been back and forth on one house in particular. The realtor says it's priced about 20K over. He showed us a comp with a pool for the same price. My issue is that we should look into this if we're both okay with it. Hubby says, "Nyet! Patience Grasshopper. Something else will come along." What if it doesn't? Sure we could wait and hopefully something will pop up, but what if it doesn't? What if the house gets sold? What if I get heartbroken?

Looks cool, my new fave: take a look

Today during class a student gestured for me to come his way. I figured it was a hush-hush moment because this student is usually loud and blurts out whatever he's thinking. I come over and he says politely:

"Mrs. Cadman?"

I say, "Yes?"

"Don't take this the wrong way, okay?"

I say, "Uh oh, what?"

He says, "I, I don't really like your gold shadow. I don't know. Gold doesn't really go with you. I'm not trying to be mean either. The blue you had on yesterday is more your color...

*thinks for a moment*

...I guess it brings out your brown eyes. That's all."

*continues writing*

I stood there half in shock. First he was polite enough to call my gold eyeshadow to my attention in an appropriate manner...and he was vexed that much by it.
I didn't know whether to be puzzled or grateful..or both.

I say, "Uh, okay. Noted."
