Real Estate Is Soooo Fun

Well, here it is another day in paradise. I shovelled about a foot of snow off my driveway today. What fun. Anyway, on to the news.

We bought a condo yesterday. Or should I say, I bought a condo yesterday and signed my wife’s name over and over. Whatever. Anyway, you’ll find a snap of it here.

Cute pic, huh? So the condo itself is a 1br-1ba with a reserved, covered parking space, eat-in-kitchen and micro-laundry room that will hold a top/bottom washer dryer combo. It is in the Hylands Ranch area of Denver, convenient to the Tech Center and (believe it or not) a mountain view from the main living area.

Some of you may be wondering about why I was signing my wife’s name. Well, you see, she arranged the closing date and then, in a fit of spitefulness, arranged to be in New Jersey visiting her mother (and celebrating Passover.) So, she signed a power-of-attorney for me and split. Not only did I sign *my* name about 50 times, but I also had to sign hers followed by mine AGAIN and then the text “as her attorney in fact.” This got old after the first set of forms.
