Bidding wars and imaginary boyfriends

[stgulik]

Still looking for a suitable cabin at Tahoe for July. My SIL and I tend to really work well together in time-sensitive situations like this. We've each taken on a handful of realtors' websites. We email each other a list of three with the favorite indicated. The other one writes back and says "Yes, bid on xxx" or "No, pass on xxx because..." and we keep going. She has a bid in on a nifty one, but if she doesn't get it, we'll go to our collective second choice and keep going. This time of year, the Tahoe vacation house bidding war is a furious business! Next year, we'll start earlier. We only got caught flat-footed at this late date because our usual cabin is being sold.

In other news, look who is living in NorCal now: My boyfriend, Hunter Pence! He is rehabilitating after a broken arm, and playing third in the lineup with the Sacramento River Cats, which is the Giants' AAA ball team. He's amazing. I would have linked to a picture where he doesn't have such crazy eyes, but crazy eyes is part of his charm, and I find it's best to be upfront about it.

Good luck on your bidding war.

Oh, imaginary boyfriends are the best kind! They are always there for you, and immediately go away when you want to be alone. They say exactly the right thing, and do whatever you would like them to do. Actual physical males are okay in small doses. But for a real relationship, it helps if the man is imaginary.

I hope you win the bid for your favorite choice. And Mr. Pence is a cutie!!
