[Cadaverous Pallor]

I envy my married friends in SD that just bought a beatiful BRAND NEW townhome. Their street is still dirt, the houses down the street are still skeletal. The place is beautiful. The exterior is actually something I like, good colors, nice brick work, wrought-iron accents. She's an artist so the place is also tastefully decorated on the inside. They got married four months after we did and now they have a real home, not just another transitory place. Two car garage, sprinkler system, brand new appliances, you name it.

Man, I am so jealous.
