the new house

Despite the pleading and the whining, the parents decided against the much-coveted house on yonge/eglington and opted for one north of the city. so what if the yonge/eglington house is over a million dollars? it is ever so charming and near all the shops and bakeries (my heart’s delight).

New House Pro/Con List

Cons

• In Markham (yuck! I hate markham)
• On Elgin Mills (so far north!!)
• Surrounded by too many Chinese people
• Not built yet (occupancy date is June 2008)
• Forty minute drive from most of my friends
• In a developing area with no (good) stores/malls near by

Pros

• Fifteen minutes from Laura’s (yeah! I like Laura)
• Closer to work
• Closer to area with a bigger selection of food

Since we’re moving out at the end of this summer and not moving in till next summer, we’ll be renting for the year.

I will reside at new house temporarily until the boyfriend buys me a little million-dollar Edwardian (or Georgian- I’m not picky) abode in the city.
