hi, we got a buttload of snow.  it’s out there right now.  if i wanted to look out the window i could see it, in all its ugly urban glory.

but i’m pretending here inside.

i ain’t been writing cause i’ve been too excited this week.  i’ve had a one track mind, if you will.  it’s cause last week i found out i prequalified for a whole bunch of mortgages from all different banks.  so, i’m gonna buy a house.  and i’m like way too excited, all excited, and very excited.  i can’t think of much else, except when i’m at work and have to do actual work things.  then i can’t think of the house.

anyway, the only house i can afford in northern new jersey will be located about an hour west of here near the state’s largest lake.  that’s where all these tiny lake bungaloes were built back in the 1950’s.  that’s right up my alley.  a tiny house within commuting distance.  then later i can find a job closer to my house.  and i can buy a canoe and a rowboat and keep them on the lake so i can row.

but you see, i am feeling oh so thwarted today what with the snow and all.  i was hoping to look at houses this weekend with the real estate agent.  now with the storm, the area out there is gonna ice up and the real estate agents aren’t gonna clear all the driveways and steps and then it’ll be too dangerous for us to look at the houses.  see, it’s more mountainous and colder out there.  in the west.  in the west of jersey.  sure, girls from montana will find this hard to believe, but there is a slight elevation increase out by the lake.  and it stays colder longer.  so, more snow, more ice.  plus where i live now is closer to the ocean, which brings with it the warming waters of the gulf stream.  so our weather is a little balmier.  but today what difference does it make.  we have like four inches of snow out there with more falling.  i hope its winter’s last choking hurrah.

i was gonna write about patsy cline and pugs, but you see i can’t get another subject in my head for too long.
