I suppose I should be working now. I just need a break from what I've been typing for the morning. So I'm typing something different. At least for a little while. I'd like nothing more than to take a nap right now. I'm not sure what it is about this time of the afternoon, but bed always sounds really good to me. I'm trying to keep bouncy upbeat music on my ipod so i have something to nod along with as I work. Right now it's "The District Sleeps Alone Tonight (DJ Downfall Persistent Beat Remix)" by the Postal Service. That's a hell of a title.
I've been looking at real estate websites for properties near where I want to move next summer. I actually saw a condo a few weeks ago for 199,000 (that I can't afford) and right now either the same one or one similar is 189,000, so that's nice. Maybe in another 10-11 months it'll be down a little more. I don't like living where I am right now, so I really hope to be able to afford somewhere else. I think I'm just a little too close to DC, and my apartment isn't really the greatest place. Of course, everytime I talk about moving out, my roommate laments what she'll do when that day comes. I don't know if she's trying to get sympathy or wants to make me feel bad, or what, but instead of complaining, she could do something about her situation. I'm looking to move to an area where my commute to work would be about 45 min to 1 hr, whereas right now it's only about 20 minutes. But I can deal with that in order to have some place I like and can afford. I think she needs to do the same, instead of complaining that everything's so expensive and she can't afford to live by herself. I'm giving her lots of notice, unlike her last roommate, who gave her 2 weeks to find another person to live with (i.e., me).
Anyway, despite that, I'm really excited to be considering buying a property rather than renting. And I'm looking forward to having my own space completely to myself. Just have to save lots of money and make sure everything is set for when that day comes.
A friend of mine had some really good news for us the other night. She's expecting. eee!!! She's the first of us to get married and she'll be the first to have kids, too. I'm so thrilled for her. And I'm thoroughly planning on spoiling that child rotten. Of course, I'll spoil it with books. The ones I loved when I was a kid. I'm so looking forward to this whole thing and watching her go through it.
