I spent most of last week feeling out of it. I was burned out on an emotional level — extracurricular projects taking their toll, emotional rollercoasters that left me feeling disoriented and cranky.
Three years ago today? Doomsdays, Gladiator tickets, funnelcats, birthday/Pamie babble, and 5k awards.
Two years ago today? Bad military jokes, pontification, and corrections from Mom.
One year ago today? Melancholic about being single. A kick in the ass from a kick ass woman named Kim.
I still don’t know if I want kids, and I am turning into the bitchin’ aunt I wanted to be. As far as my spinster status — well, I’m 27, and I’ve got a ways to go for that.
I’m buying a house in a few months. I want something small but not cramped, cute but not too expensive. I want a safe neighborhood, I want to be near the city, I want a kitchen I can work with and a bathroom with a bathtub I can stretch out in. I want a room for my shrine, a basement for my workouts, a guest bedroom for my friends, and a dining room to entertain people.
I probably want more than I have the money to get, but we’ll see what we can do.
Happy Cinco, Papo. Hope you like the Toblerone.

Areas…have you checked out U-City? Bridgeton? Overland (parts of it are decent)? Maryland Heights? Dogtown? The Hill?
Sort of, yes. Places I’ve been looking are Saint John, Overland, and U. City.
Mostly I’m looking for someplace that’s close to I-170, as it makes my drive to work snappy.
Oh and hey — once I move I’ll be closer to you!! Whoo!!
Hey! We own a house in Overland. My mom also lives in Overland. You can get really cute gignerbread houses in Overland–that is what my mom has. We rent out a brick house built in the 50s on a narrow acre in Overland. We lived there for three years first to fix it up. We enjoyed the area a lot.
Also, a friend I have lives in Maryland Heights and there are some great neighborhoods back past that road that Pattonville Jr. (i think) High is.
Yep, you still have plenty of time. Years and years and years. And years!
Please, if I started thinking you were a spinster at 27, I, at 33 and childless, would be very depressed.
