a-hem...house stuff

this house thing is incredibly frustrating. if i wasn't so stubborn that i'm right (that now is a good time to buy), i would give up. so far i've seen 26 houses. of those, we've liked several and have even offered on one (we didn't get it, obviously). of those 26, we probably liked about 7-8 - and every damn one has sold or had an offer almost instantly after we liked it. it's the most frustrating fucking thing ever. i fall in love, only to have my house-y dreams trampled on by too high a counter-offer or too much competition. where's the crappy housing market, people? this is bullshit!

my realtor just sent me another list of houses and most of them are crap. i am not living in certain areas or using well water as my sewage system for crissakes. but we'll probably go see three more tonight...which means (only if i love any of them), they'll be gone by tomorrow. so if you need to sell your home, please have me come look at it. works like a fucking charm.

so here i am

it's a monday evening, and i'm blogging again, after a long time away from it. why now? to be completely cliche, i've come to a bit of a crossroads in my life - relationship-wise, home-ownership-wise, etc etc etc. i'm ready to leap, but may not land anywhere but flat on my ass. that's ok. i think.

i'm also a 24-year-old hoosier (if you don't know what that is, just don't ask) who has been in a relationship with the same guy for six years - aka 25% of my life. that's really freaky to think about.
