Well internet, it appears there are no shiny objects in my future. However, a home? A home is looking more and more like a possibility.

I am still in my psycho-control-freak state, pouring over every document, searching the internet for inspectors, obsessing over the fact that the bank will not BOW TO MY WILL and give me all the terms I want despite the fact that we are admittedly getting a great deal on this house...

Holy crap.

A house.

!!!!

Suddenly everything is framed in terms of how my life will change. No more turning off every single electrical appliance so the circuit breaker doesn't go off when I blow dry my hair (good). No more ridiculously indulgent 80 degree thermostat because no matter how warm we keep it in here we never pay more than $20/mo in electricity bills (bad). Both of us being able to fit in the kitchen at the same time (good)! Having an actual commute to the office (very, very bad).

I'm starting to understand all those men I berate when they know they have an awesome lady but they just can't bring themselves to take that final step and pop the question. I am totally That Guy when it comes to buying a home. Paul on the other hand is already happily imagining the window treatments he is going to buy...role reversal much?

I probably shouldn't do this, what with being in the midst of negotiations to sign my life away, but I'm going to pour myself a glass of wine now.
