Moving On Up…to the East Side
I guess because it’s a peninsula, the rest of Palos Verdes is actually further west than where I currently live, even though I’m right along the coast. I digress. My parents just bought a new home. The home is really nothing spectacular to speak of really. My parents liked the view. Since my mom recently retired, she has been spending more time at home, and I think she’s tired of our peekaboo view. She wanted a real view.
The whole transaction happened rather quickly. The house just listed, and my parents saw it Saturday. Sunday their bid was in, and three days later their offer was accepted.

Overlooking the city.

My parents weren’t the only ones interested. Also, you can see the plans I have made already.

View of the ocean over rooftops.

The view can even be seen from inside the home.
Even though I’m happy that my parents got a great new home, there are some things I am not looking forward to in all this.
1. Moving. I hated moving, even when I was just in an apartment in college. It’s probably going to take me two whole days just to move my fish tanks.
2. Traffic. This house puts me farther away from a freeway. Getting to work in the morning is going to be a pain in the ass.
There is some up side to the new home. There will finally be radio reception and cell phone reception for people using carriers other than Sprint. It won’t take me close to 40 minutes to drive to Michelle’s house even though she is in the next city over. I’ll get a room that won’t have a crack in the window. It’s so damn cold during the winters. Last, but certainly not least, you know I’m going to have a going away party at this house, but try not to mess stuff up. We still have to rent the house to someone.

your parents just bought a house the way I buy shoes. I am both impressed by their buying skillz and also think I need to re-evaluate what kind of shoes I’m buying.

Nice view of us poor folk in Torrance.
Man, does that mean we have to see each other even more? Isn’t it enough that I moved to your state?

Uh oh, those huge windows mean that you can no longer walk around the house naked!
