A short update amidst the crunching:
On Saturday I moved to my new Condo- that I bought. Now I finally own my.. er. now Washington Mutual finally owns my place.
On Sunday morning I woke up.
MY GOD. HAVING YOUR OWN PLACE FEELS SOOOOOO GOOOOOD! And the place is even better than what I thought. It's fantastic. Someone mentioned that I should have made sure it was fantastic before I bought it, which is true, but it still makes up for a nice surprise :-)
Photos when I get the time...
I feel the same way. I don't know if it's because I own it or we got lucky and have a nice place. But I loooove it. I don't work quite as much as I used to (especially the weekends) and I find myself a little more tolerant of petty work things. It really does make a difference.

You know, I never realized that it would affect the way you act and do things at work.. Hmm.. that is interesting.. it's all the more interesting because I can somewhat identify also with what you said.
Hmm... makes me wonder.... maybe there's some psychological research on this somewhere :-)

I found that it takes weeks for the fact that this is actually *yours* to sink in.
Especially at my current house, it was like 'i can't believe it... i can't believe it... i can't believe it...' :)
Even now, nearly two years later, I still wander around the house at night, before going upstairs to sleep, and tell myself I can't believe it.
I does change your life.
