It just depends on the day

You know how when people have kids, that's all they talk about? I am that way with our new house. Be prepared though, because in a couple months I am getting a kitten and that will be all that I will talk about...

Reasons I hate that we bought an old house:

• We hung up curtains and the draft coming through the windows blew them around
• Our queen-sized box spring doesn't fit up our stairs. We are spending today arguing about the best way to cut it to make it fit
• Our "2-car" garage is really a 1.5 car garage. Any car bigger than a Miata wouldn't fit in the second half
• On any given day one of our toilets will probably block up
• Old plumbing
• Poorly placed 2-prong outlets
• Even with all the vents closed upstairs, it's 66 degrees downstairs and 72 degrees upstairs
  

Reasons I love that we bought an old house:

• 3 stained glass windows
• Original hardwood floors in the entire house
• Original wood doors and woodwork
• Large kitchen
• 1,500 sq ft in our price range
• A front porch with room for a swing
• A garage off an alley instead of off the street
  
• The neighborhood
• Large windows
• A neighborhood with mature trees
  

Generally I love my house, but sometimes it makes we want to live in a cookie-cutter condo. Anyone want to come wrestle a box spring upstairs?
