I AM CHOPPING MY HAIR!! WHAT IS YOUR VOTE?! (be sure to check out my old posts)

Alright, I am going to try to update my blog weekly...........at least the posts, as I still struggle with some of the accessories such as pictures, links, etc. (any help/guidance would be greatly appreciated) It could just be the computer that I have to work on but Christmas is right around the corner........(family if you are reading this "hint hint"). *8^)

Everything is going well out here in "colorful" Colorado though currently the primary colors seen around the area are white and gray. We got about a foot and a half at my place on Lookout Mountain, though minimum compared to previous years, it still gets to be a pain. I am currently contemplating a move down the hill, closer to work, less driving in the snow, (and those of you who know me.......less driving in general is a plus not only for me but the other drivers on the roads, hee hee). I would like to share my list of pros and cons with you all and get your opinions/responses regarding my "dilemma."

It seems to be a tougher decision than what I had anticipated. I love where I am at now, it is beautiful, serene, peaceful. I enjoy the wildlife, it is about 10 degrees cooler in the summer than the city, and we finally have decent downstairs neighbors. But at the same time, winters get to be tough (especially now), my landlord is a/an _______, (I will let you fill in the blank), and we consistently have issues with one thing or another. So feel free to be honest and open with your responses, here are the facts. The pros and the cons of moving down the hill:

PROS

1. Closer to work and friends (they will probably be more willing to visit too, right guys?)
2. More likely to socialize
3. Less gas (though it is only $1.65 right now)
4. Less snow to shovel (doc says this is a "no no")
5. No Pete (landlord)
6. No propane (huge bills)
7. Better maintenance (I am thinking anywhere would be better than here)
8. Flat land/More Oxygen (not a ton...but more....maybe I should move to sea level)
9. Off road parking or garage possible
10. Neighborhoods/neighbors
11. Shops, businesses, and stores are closer
12. Closer to my doctors, gym, and pulmonary rehab
13. Restaurants deliver (though that could be a very bad thing)
14. Quick errands would be much easier/faster
15. Could go home and rest over the lunch hour (wow, that would be amazing)
16. Classes at Red Rocks (just next door to work)
17. Cleaner, less dust (paved streets)
18. Civilization in case of emergency
19. Snow removal and yard work by others (if I ask nicely)
20. Air conditioning

CONS

1. Closer to work during storms, less chance of getting "snowed in"
2. Rent could be more expensive (only pay $350 right now)
3. No view of the city or the mountains
4. Rental property may not have a yard for the Bex
5. Moving in general stinks
6. Strangers
7. Less wildlife
8. Rental property may not have storage
9. Easier to get "junk" delivered if I don't feel like cooking
10. Less peace and quiet
11. Dad loves my place now, doesn't care for the city

Any other Pros or Cons that you all can think of?
