I guess the word that sums it up best is 'defeated'.
M and I have now put in offers on four different houses, and it seems as though I'm doomed to be forever nestled between somebody else's generic white walls, cheap blinds, and apartment grade appliances. I know it seems trite in these times to complain about not being able to find a home when so many people can't even keep theirs. Still, I want to sit here and feel a little sorry for myself.
This rain isn't helping my mood, either. It's only a reminder that I need to pack away my summer clothes and get out the sweaters. This is our second fall in Pittsburgh, and I can happily say the weather is milder here than in Michigan. It's nearly my birthday and I can hardly remember a year in Grand Rapids that I could go jacket-less around the occasion. Put another point on the board for the 'burgh. However, family and friends are dearly missed; minus a point.
Speaking of family, I received a card in the mail today from my mother in law. We just welcomed another little pug puppy into our family. Enclosed with the card was a check. I'm beginning to wonder if this is some sort of bribery ploy for us to give her real grandchildren? Hmmm.
Well, I guess I'm off to the grocery store for now... it's Taco night!
