Epistle of the stars!

Super upset!!

My hubby and I have been looking at property to rent or buy. As we look around, a dark cloud settles above our heads. Our mood really dampens when all the pretty, nice, so US houses are not affordable.

As we look in a area...and see beautiful houses that we think is affordable...like a character home...quite old but in a good location...it costs almost 1mil AUSSIE DOLLARS to purchase....by gosh...then we see another sweet looking home....not that grand but looks affordable.....we look it up and it is SOLD.

Never before in my 24 years have I even thought I would get upset over something like this. I used to dream of growing up...worrying about getting a boyfriend, getting married, getting a job, having kids, setting up my business and crap along that line.....(yes yes I know I am a worrier! -sigh- )

Here I am staring at an Acton online ad for the house I saw...which I was not entirely fond of...but thought, "Hey I'll just check out the price!" then saw the SOLD sign yet still clicked on the pictures of the house. Then start cursing under my breath at the new owners of the house that beat me to it...NOT EVEN knowing how much they paid for it.......Talk bout KIASU

What have I turned into? A domesticated wifey? Gosh...how times change doesn't it.

Gladly, I am not that insane yet. We will just pray that God sends us the right house at the right time at the right price. I.E. for now we rent!!!! YEE HEEEEEEE....

Nothing wrong with that right? Phobia be gone....!!!! Amen

On the other hand, I am so excited about being married in April that I started calling myself a Ms. rather than then the usual Miss. The company just got me to apply for a new credit card and I whole-heartedly decided I would like to be a Ms on the card. Not to avoid people hitting on me (Gosh I will be extremely flattered but I know that I am that hot), but that it was just one indication that I am not a 14 year old kid. Here, in Aus, it is embarrassing for me to shoe shop. With a size 4 shoe size in Msia that actually converts to a size 3-4 kids in Aussie land...I try to find every way possible to make myself feel older and less like a kid....

Do you know there was a day I was at PayLess shoes...and they were having a sale...and I had to fight for shoes with a 11 year old girl who was also taller than me!!!ARGH! She won!! Her mom was scary...So no fair. Hmph~

Vanished...

I fell off the face of the earth. I got engulfed by a load of work related earth quakes. But now I am back...because it is 4:09 am...my stomach is grumbling and all I can think about is how to foster good relationships with other staff.

What happens to the brain after you turn 24? They should have warned me of this...BEWARE OF REACHING AGE 24: MIGHT CAUSE BRAIN DEAD-NESS & KILL JOY ATTITUDES. Wonder when was the last time I had fun.....I can't remember.

To celebrate my birthday, domesticated me decided it would be fun to go to Ikea....and educate my Ikea-virgin husband. Very wrong move! First thing he said when we walked into the showroom....followed from a long silence of wow was...."Dad can make this!" (WHAT??? Shake head in disbelief). Don't get me wrong...this is not a case of how talented my future father-in-law is. It is how insanely easy he thinks this is. F.I.L is a fire fighter and ranger for the local shire...he barely has time to fix up the backyard for his darling wife....why would he have the time to make his son & wife..A BED?

As we reach the end to pay for our many purchases for a non-existent house...he says the ultimate Ikea shopaholic phrase, " When we do get our own house, you bet-cha we gonna spend fortunes here". I almost wet myself in public from shock.
