The American Nightmare

I have neglected this journal long enough it seems.

I'm in one of my weird moods today. I want everything and I want it now. The problem is, I feel trapped. I want what everyone else wants - the American Dream. My own home has been my primary fixation of late. The trouble is, I don't think I make enough money to actually make it happen. I love working for HBO but it just can't pay a mortgage. I found a condo in Nanuet, NY - only 15-20 minutes from where I'm living now. It would be perfect for Jay and I. He'd be much closer to work too. He'd save a lot of gas, not to mention wear and tear on his car. We'd both benefit from living in NY and not have to be double taxes (NJ &NY) like we do now. Here is the place by the way: http://www.morninggloryrealty.com/MyHomeDtl_Printable.asp?lstPages=&HomeID=177541

We drove by the place last night and got all excited about it. I'd love to take a look inside but the damn real estate lady won't get back to me. I emailed her like she requests on her site, but still no word. I guess I'm going to have to break down and call her. I don't really want to because it'll turn into a lengthy discussion that I just don't feel like having over the phone at work.

I just want all this to happen now!! I hate feeling the way I do. I feel so stressed right now. There's like ten things weighing on my mind right now - money, looking for a new job, my dad's high blood pressure, Kristine's wedding arrangements, keeping in touch with old friends,....uuughh....

Jay's mom said we could live together at her house in Jay's basement apartment for a while. It could be nice. All the amenities are there. I'm just dying to have a place of our own........NOW!

 

Update: I've calmed down now :-P and that condo was sold in September. Ah well sucks for me. The realtor also told me that those units are more expensive nowadays....
