Thursday

It has been a weird Thursday already. I had a play date with a friend, J. Her son H, is 4 days older than ours. She told me today she was preggo. Due Dec 5, an oops baby. I am am having such weird conflicting feelings.

Jealousy- which I found surprising.
Pity- being pregnant is not fun, and she is never going to sleep again.
Joy- a friend of mine is having a baby and I will get to hold it!

I am going to see Barry Bonds today - Giants vs Braves. Think he'll hit 2 homers?
I am going to try to eat 2 hot dogs.

Things that are super sweet about our new place.

1. Dishwasher
2. Washer / Dryer on the premises. We still don't have our own but we share one with 4 other units and no quarters, so a big improvement for us.
3. Plenty of space. I am currently in the office/ guest room. jon is cooking, e is watching shrek. All as it should be.
4. Garbage Disposal
5. We have a little shared courtyard. I am the current gardener. I love watering the plants, I planted some lavender and some mint.
6. Huge generous closets.
7. Real Kitchen.
8. Significantly quieter than our old place. Since that was actually on Haight St.
9. For I am pretty sure the first time in our relationship, we can each get into our own side of the bed, we each have our own night stand (alarm clock, places for our eye masks, chap stick, personals), Bliss.


Things that are not so sweet:

1. Huge fucking mortgage. I guarantee mine is bigger than yours!
2. I think out neighbors are haters.
3. See #2 and I just feel a little like, ugh, I don't want them to catch me smoking. or I don't want the animals to be too loud. I don't feel welcome.
4. You can't tell people you bought a place in SF. Everyone accuses you of being rich. So...not the case. aka haters

What's not to love?
I am doing really very well. Have been feeling fantastic and been taking care of mine. I just read the most fantastic book Random Family, totally addicting.

I have also been wasting time on myspace. Cause I am cool like that, super late to jump on the bandwagon! I have been chatting with my high school sweetheart.

unfreaking believable (in the best way) or I have a dishwasher!!

So yeah,
We took the dive. the huge major dive into home ownership, in SF. We are nuts, I know, please don't tell me.
We have like, a nice house, with a dishwasher. It is in a co-op which are wildly popular in SF.
The move was a nightmare and jon and I were at each others throats. But that is how you are supposed to be when you buy a place and move. hella stressful.

This move is so fantastic for the baby. And the animals. It is great. We are all happy. Way over our heads in debt in such a way that I have to laugh.

We have no internet or phone. But I have my cell for those of you in the know.
