I can woe today about more....

Today, I called the owner's agent for our house and she is flip flopping on selling the house now. We were originally going to go buy a house with land, but decided to just stay here and buy this house and build up more wealth, pay off some bills and add on some stuff. We planned to add a bathroom, renovate the one bath we have, the kitchen and do lots of painting inside to make it our own. We planned to pay it off quickly, and sell it in 3-4 years and then buy our dream home.

Well, this news just ruins everything. The owner says she's not making any money on the rent, but also claims not to make anything on the house if it sells. What gives? So I'm talking to that agent, my agent and trying to come up with whether we need to move forward with finding a new place or staying here. Our lease is up in December so we don't have a bunch of time. I don't want to decorate a nursery just to have to do it again. So when the baby is born, I plan to be where I'm gonna live for a few years or forever.

It's frustrating. Why do people have to be so difficult? Why did she have to offer us the chance to buy this place if she wasn't sure?

What's your beef for the week?

My advise to you now is to try and forget about that day and go and do something really really fun for you - and DON"T be there when he gets home and don't be available by phone!! He can have his golf but he will miss you and then learn a lesson. I think he just has to adjust to married life.

Do you have anywhere else to go?

No, not really. That's just the thing. Unless I want to drive an hour home, I don't. My friend here has to work, Shane's cousin and his wife are going out of town...again, and I don't have anyone else here to hang out with.

I just figured after my explanation of how I felt and how he asked me why I didn't say something before that he was in tune with how important it is to me. Especially because our wedding anniversary is pretty much going to be spent home with a new baby and I'll be still in the healing process of that. I mean a new baby is going to be great and it's a wonderful way to spend any evening, but we can't have the romantic time we might have wanted for our first anniversary. So that is why I really wanted this time to be special.

Oh well, too bad now.

I'm not mad at him for it, but I am a little hurt that he chose to ignore this.

And doesn't everyone know who they are voting for by now?????? --I CANNOT understand being undecided at this point. As J mentioned, while we TRIED to watch the debate last night, "this is a wash. No one is telling us anything. Either you're undecided and this isn't helping, or your candidate is saying exactly what you want him to say. Who cares?!"


Why CAN'T cars run forever on gas and an occasional oil change? I am with you. But MY GOSH, I can't believe what you're paying for gas. I've still never paid an even 2.00 per gallon. Holy crap!

Why don't you go home for the weekend? Don't sit and stew - be gone and have fun!! There must be something you can do at home with your parents or family or friends - shop, get your hair done, etc.

Don't worry about the money for just once. Charge it. And don't be there and don't answer your phone!!
