Dear Hurricane Irene -
While it would be totally fantastic and super awesome if you could please not send the tree directly outside the apartment crashing through our windows, it would be equally fantastic and unequivocally awesome if you could please not destroy the house we're currently trying to purchase.
XOXO,
Melanie
PS - I'm also pretty fond of my car. I mean, after three years together, Lucille and I have bonded. We're pretty tight. Also, she's only halfway paid off. It'd be nice if you could not send her floating down Burmont Road and into the creek.
As an aside, this has left me wondering - when purchasing an estate property, which is currently sitting empty, how concerned should I be about the house sitting empty? Will the executrix of the estate go to the trouble of bringing the patio furniture inside? Would it be inappropriate for me to go over to the house and do it? What if the drain out back clogs and the basement floods? What if the roof leaks? Oh, noes!!! And the place isn't even ours yet. It may never be, if the seller chooses to back out thanks to the extremely extended timeline handed to us by our lender today. It may be fruitless to be so deeply concerned but, being a first-time home buyer, I will - come hell or high waters (haha, see what I did there?!?) - find something to freak out about.
Note #1 - So far this week, we've had thunder, lightning, an earthquake, and now a hurricane. I'm waiting for fire and locusts.
Note #2 - If the house manages to survive all of this, I'm going to declare it impenetrable. We will be totally set for the zombie apocalypse. And, to quote my boyfriend, "Zombie Apocalypse - ALWAYS A CONCERN."
