Pure Torture

I keep doing this stupid thing where I pull up the Seattle MLS listings and start browsing through houses.

And I keep finding ones that I want.  Desperately. And then I proceed to send James an instant message linking to whichever house fits my fancy on that particular day.

We booked tickets and a hotel to go to Seattle next month.  To say I am looking forward to this trip is a gross understatement.  We are going with the intention of checking out the different areas, looking at real estate, and spending some time in the city that we will call home sometime within the next year.

I’ve been doing my best to keep myself busy and have been trying to make the best of the fact that the temperature is lingering around 100 degrees, but it’s been hard.

This weekend, we took the girls to the park for a picnic and the sunlight and extreme weather seemed to suck my soul out of my ears.  It was just too hot.  Twenty minutes of strolling around and taking pictures after lunch was too much for all of us to handle.

James admitted that he has never spent much time outside, and now he knows why.  It’s just too damn hot and miserable here.  We are both looking forward to moving.

In the meantime, I really need to stop looking at real estate.  It’s becoming an addiction, and pure torture knowing that those houses are all going to be filled with owners other than us.  We just aren’t moving soon enough.

    I’m doing the same thing. Rationally, I know it’s way too early for us to move but I can’t help looking at the Texas houses for sale. I’ve found the most perfect ones in the perfect location that we can afford and it makes me sad to know it won’t be on the market come October when we’re looking to buy.

    Don’t worry- by the time you get there, the house of your dreams will be for sale, since Seattle seems to have an abundance of cool houses ;-)

    i just spoke to my friend who lives in puyallup, and i heard it pronounced out loud for the first time ever. it is utterly RIDICULOUS and somehow vulgar, although i can’t quite pinpoint why… just thought i’d mention it to you, since speaking to her reminded me of you. ;)

    Instead of IMing them to James, share them with me! I want to see!
