A Rainy Superbowl Sunday

This past week has been a fairly calm one for us out here in Riverside. We have had fairly cool temperatures, in the low 60s, with partly cloudy days. Today we are getting quite a bit of rain, which is nice on a day that you have no plans for. We are watching the Superbowl with no team favored (in our minds), but we are definitely enjoying the commercials, as always. The past week has not been too exciting, with the exception of the return of "Lost." Hopefully, the writers strike will end soon, so that our other favorite shows will return.
On the house-hunt front, our realtor found a great listing for us in this neighborhood that is a bank repo. The price was really good, so I went to look at it on my lunch break on Thursday. I really liked it and then Nick and I looked at it again on Friday afternoon. After discussing it, we decided to submit an offer this afternoon. When we reached the office, our realtor had spoken with the listing agent and said there had already been a full-priced (we assume) offer on Friday. Regardless, we submitted an offer below the asking price, but we are sure nothing will come of it. We really liked the house, but it had a small yard, so I am sure that we will find something that is better suited for us.
This week we have nothing planned except a regular work week. The weather is supposed to improve to sunny days and temps in the high 60s, which will be nice. It sure doesn't take long to become a southern California wimp.
Happy Superbowl Sunday everyone!
