WAAAA!

For the past year and a half, my husband and I have wanted to buy a house. Not just any home, a retro home built in the 50's-60's, in the Greater Boston area. We have looked, and looked, and looked, but when we find something that looks promising, it's always either too small, too out-in-the-woods, or way out of our budget. I keep going through house listings online hoping for "the right one" to show up, but no luck so far. :-(

I'm sick of apartment living. I want a place where I can paint the walls whatever color I want, have the kitchen of my dreams, maybe a little garden, and where I can vacuum the house at 1:00 in the morning if I feel like it, without fear of pissing off the neighbors. The fact that I'm incredibly impatient by nature doesn't help. Sometimes I feel like a 4-year-old throwing a tantrum: "I WANT A HOUSE, AND I WANT IT NOOOOWWW!!! WWAAAA!!!

Anyway, this Friday we're going to see another house. It was built in 1959 and I really like the look of the outside. I don't think it's quite big enough for us, and it's not in a great area, but I just want to go see it to get it out of my system.
