So, this weekend was fun. Friday night involved laundry and dinner at Johnny D's, which was ok but unexciting. However, it also involved Doctor Who at the boy's place. That was fun.

Saturday was more interesting. pierceheart had to work, so I took the opportunity to choreograph my recital piece. I think I like what I have. It will need tweaking, I'm sure, but it's a start. I'd forgotten that pierceheart would be gone until the wee hours of the morning, but I decided I'd make fajitas (including guacamole) for myself anyway for dinner. Yum. I really need to make a big batch of guacamole for the next party I go to. I watched Torchwood in the evening.

Sunday, we went to three open houses. The first place, in Somerville, was too small. The layout actually did NOT suck, but the kitchen was really too small to comfortably be an eat-in kitchen, and there was only one additional non-bedroom room, so no dining room possibility. Meh. The second one, in Malden, was quite nifty: big, odd-but-workable layout (bedrooms separated by two bathrooms!), nice place. But it has a $430 condo fee and is already near the top of our price range without taking that into consideration. Meh again. The third place (also in Malden) was a decent size, but had a godawful layout. We drove around and looked at some other places, though not the insides. It's so frustrating.

Sunday evening was much fun. We spent it with geoogo and cutieyum. We met at their place for margaritas and hung out there for a while, then headed over to Rio in Arlington Center for Brazilian barbecue. YUM! Meat! Tasty meat! Lots of it! It was really, really good to see them again. They are awesome people.

And now, I am hungry and want lunch. Salad. Not meat.

House/apartment hunting is just awful in general; my sympathies. (teinedreugan and I spent months at it before we got this place.) pierceheart was mentioning the frustrations of the process when I ran into him at the Tuesday social at Diesel last week.

(With luck, no need to worry about it for a few years yet, and then we seem likely to have the fun of trying to manage househunting for four adults plus possibly a small child .... Whee!)

Yeah, apartment hunting would not be so difficult. It's the whole down-payment-and-mortgage thing that makes it so rough. But you know what? I'm glad that whatever else, we're moving in together. It'll be good to have a home that's OURS. It'll be even better if that home actually BELONGS to us. :)

Hey there. I know someone who has a new to them place in Malden they are looking to rent out the first foor on. I only saw the half they are living in(top floor) but it was nice and I liked the neighborhood.

Call my cell and I'll give you the owners info?

Honestly, we're really looking to buy, not rent. If we end up having to rent, we'll almost certainly stay in the Somerville area, since we both like it here so much.

You know, if living in Groton were an option, I'd be all over that. :P
