Elle tells it like it is

Just a quick vent because I don’t want to write it on Facebook or Twitter.  Being a grown-up sucks.  We (Mister Elle and I) are trying to be competent adults and buy a house.  Of course, the house we fell in love with is INSANE, and probably a whiff out of our financial reach.  My day has been spent talking to mortgage folks, sending documents and seeing quite clearly how financially retarded I am.  Mister Elle is better, but not exactly the polar opposite of me.  I’m anxious.  I saw my future in this home and I just want to see it come to pass. 

And I remember a time when I wanted to live on a house-boat.
