reasons why we need to buy a house

Dick next door padlocking the chain fence to our shared driveway, so we can't take out our trash this morning

Will, our landlord, not telling us what we owe for the electric bill so we will probably have to pay double (because he's probably got another bill by now).

Carla, the girl who lives below us, always hacking and making weird chest noises when she is home.

We love this house, but...we need something that's ours. With no upstairs/downstairs neighbors. Our own yard so we can have Myra play and not get looks from the neighbor we share the yard with.

Sigh. It's not bad, but it makes us dream more about when we can buy our house.
