Remember I used to keep a blog, called the Decimation of Procrastination? Some may…..although most won’t, since no one ever checked it. It was basically a blog I started, where I listed some important goals that I wanted to accomplish for the year. At the beginning of 2009, I was so serious about it– setting goals and working towards something, checking in regularly to see if I had progressed. I met some goals, and others I did not. But it was awesome having something to work towards!
Lately I’ve been feeling an itching to do it again– to set some achievable goals and start working towards them: financial, educational, family goals, etc…..I’ve been feeling like life has been getting a little out of control. Sugar cravings are raging their ugly little head lately (OMG, I ate three chocolate-covered brownies yesterday at work!), and I have been spending without careful monitoring. Not on clothing, but FOOD. I buy regardless of what we have in the house, spending heaps of money that I don’t need to spend.
This is a call for gaining control of my life once again…… So let me take some time to think about what I would like to accomplish, and then I’ll report out.
In the meantime, let me fill you in on the home buying. I don’t know what rock these potential buyers crawled out from under, but I have found some really off-the-wall, weird buyers! The latest guy that submitted a contract didn’t accept our counter offer. In fact, it came back that his fiance wanted a foreclosure/house. Ummmm…..did he not know that prior to submitting a contract?? What a waste of everyone’s time if you and your future wife can’t come to an agreement beforehand.
I’ve tried to engage buyer #3 again (the military chick), who’s offer was similar to buyer #4; she had wanted me to pay 100% of the recordation and transfer taxes, which I didn’t want to do. I am now saying that I will, only to find that her agent is acting stupid and elusive still, saying that his client is still interested, but wants to “think about it.” UGH…..
I realize that we really can’t get in a tizzy about this. This is just the way the market is. People come, see the place, think they want to buy, but really aren’t very sure. I found out recently that we would be able to rent the place out and still be able to buy. But I know that I don’t want to be a Landlord to yet another person. Managing Monet Drive is enough for me. But we shall see.
Well, I want to write much more……But I can’t quite yawning, and it’s only 9:43 p.m. More later!
