I am so wishy washy. Decision making has never been a strength of mine. I suppose it is because I am not opinionated about most things. That is not to say I do not have any opinions. I do not have enough energy to worry or have strong feelings about a lot of things. I think I would have been happy at all of my top picks for colleges. I like the city and the country. I like cats and dogs (although I can not be around cats anymore).
The wishy washiness is compounded by Mr. W. He is wishy washy too. For example, we are considering buying a house. We both know that jobs are not for a lifetime anymore, and there is a strong possibility that he will need a new one in the next few years. So it makes sense that we get a place that is also a reasonable commute to NYC. The market is so damn expensive, that we want to find something that we will want to stay in for a long time. Since the houses are obscenely expensive, it is depressing to see the pieces of crap that we will have to work a lifetime to finance. We can not decide if we want to live in one of the cool little towns here (with a tiny lot, but walking distance to the town and train)or live in a beautiful wooded lot 10 minutes north where we get a lot more for the money. Part of buying in my opinion is becoming part of a community which we have not been able to do yet.
I am not just wishy washy about this. I also want to plan a trip and tris this summer, and I just can not seem to figure it out. There are so many places I would like to go. I do not have a particular dream trip, so figuring it out is difficult! I know these are great problems to have, I am just annoyed that nothing is planned or figured out yet!

Well, I have a fix for your vacation plans... move your vent camp trip and come to Oahu with us :)
I haven't figured out what a "dream trip" really is other than spending the trip with someone who you really appreciate spending time with... even if much of it is spent bickering about level of driving ineptitude (When you all suck, it's funny to think the bickering is about who sucks the least) :)
I think with the house thing, if everything is un-affordable and impractical you have to go with the new car theory. Buy the one you'd be most happy in. In this case, don't buy anything you'd have to fix up. Since it is already ridiculously expensive, buy something move-in ready since you probably won't be able to maintain your current lifestyle AND upgrade a dump into a livable condition.
That's my 2 cents!

PS Also read the fine print to see if there is a million $1 bills stacked in the basement :)
