Surving the Chores of Everyday Life

Our lives are not all fun in the sun, is it? After my girl and I passed a good week away from reality on vacation, it was time for us to face the music. From exorbitant interest rates on our credit cards and our car loan to house plans left pending, she and I had our work cut out for us. And you know, I’m persistent old dog, so I was not quitting on my gps project, either.

First we tackled the credit cards. Thankfully, even in this time of tough credit, credit card companies and auto loan agencies seem eager to please individuals with good credit. My wife did a great job isolating the optimum deal on refinancing our auto loan. This should compensate for my blunders with online penny stock trading.

I’m grateful someone in the house has some responsible sense of our finances… and it sure as heck isn’t me. But the lower interest rate and smaller monthly bills should really provide us a little extra breathing room.

Then we had to address a number of house improvements we had been designing for quite some time. Some may suppose we have no business investing in improvements at this time, but what can I say? We prefer to stubbornly press forward.

My wife has been looking over the different available home steam showers and we both agree on the bathroom lights and bathroom sinks we want for our bathroom remodel, but after looking over some discount bedding tips, we’re no longer on the same page for the new bedding.

Thankfully, she’s being either encouraging or tolerant of my small gadget fixation. I’m not too bad about it, but I have my weakness. Currently I have narrowed it down to a handheld tv, DVD projectors or a Garmin Golflogix GPS. Speaking of GPS, we both agree it is time to invest in a bluetooth GPS receiver.

I believe gps tech has refined enough and grown cheap enough that we need to incorporate it into our life.

I’m only assuaged my wife and I are on the same page for a majority of this stuff. People’s lives can be so much more problematic when the souls around them use our problems as launching places for their pride rather than opportunities to unify and grow.
