So, David's mom is going to be moving in with us whenever her house sells.  Yeah, I know I haven't mentioned it but nothing has been happening on the real estate front lately so I figured I'd just keep my trap shut.  Anyway.  This summer, I decided we needed to go look at this house just to see what it looked like.  It had enough bedrooms and was on a nice lot next to a pond.  I can't find a picture of the house online, which is unfortunate, because David commented that the "gingerbread" on the front of the house had hearts on it when we drove up.  When we walked up to the front door, the owner was waiting for us and had a booklet to give to us.  Then she told us she was just going to be out in the backyard while we looked around.  That did not thrill me.  Plus she had a yappy little dog that was barking its head off.  We walked into the living room and every furniture surface in the room was COVERED with dolls.  Dolls EVERYWHERE staring at us and there was a mannequin standing next to the fireplace.  We about died on the spot but pressed on.  The eating area in the kitchen was filled with bird cages (which contained screechy birds) instead of furniture and there were even dolls propped up at the bar on the island.  There were dolls in the laundry room and dolls in the garage and dolls in every bathroom.  The house was also an homage to wallpaper because every SURFACE had wallpaper on it.  Also, the owner apparently liked patterned carpet.  I managed to sneak a picture while we were in one of the bedrooms, which I shall share with you now.  Needless to say, this woman has dropped the price on her house about 6 times, according to Zillow, and it still has not sold.

Awesome.
