in the vicinity of infinity

Man, I cannot tell you just how much people are annoying this morning. Everything from the sound of their voices to the looks on their faces to the smell of their smelly lunches.

Oh well.

Despite this bitching, I had a fairly good weekend that involved a date night with the spouse, another date night with the spouse and friends and an amazing movie and a fun get-together with friends that featured good food, basketball and The S0pranos. All this fun socializing more than made up for the two non-stop days' worth of writing for school.

GB and I also had a really long, good talk on Friday night on the subject of buying a house. We even went out and bought "H0usebuying for Dummies". Seriously. We are taking our baby steps towards adulthood. As soon as I'm done w/ the semester (first week of May), we will start driving through neightborhoods that we might possibly be able to afford. We will write down notes, we will make lists. We will contrast dream options with reality. Then will go to a bank and hopefully not have our hearts broken and then, if our hearts are still intact, we will tackle actually looking for and buying a house. If all goes well we will have something by the end of the summer.

Eeek.

It's all very intimidating but I am so ready, at least emotionally....and finding out last night that M&R just bought a four bedroom house (well they do have a baby on the way), made me both very happy for them and very envious. That M's parents helped them put down a HUGE down payment so that they could get a $300,000 house with a $1200 mortgage payment....well....OK...no, really, I am VERY happy for them. I just want to get our own little place and as their are no parents who will - or can - kick down any money, well we'll just see what we can afford. We are more than willing to put on our 'fix-it' goggles and buy a place that needs cosmetic work. I just want at least 2 bedrooms and a garage that could maybe be converted to an extra room. I want hardwood floors (or the promise of hardwood floors hiding beneath ugly carpeting). I want walls to paint cute colors. I want a half-way decent/spacious kitchen. I want some closet space. We've even been thinking about doing something like this for whatever we end up with.

I just want a home.
