Bonus

Wow... bonus day! You get 2 whole posts! I have a complete and utter lack of desire. After yesterday's nice weather I have been rendered useless until the next equally pleasing day.

I have no gumption to do my work, or talk business. I don't feel like being at work, going home by myself, shoppping or sitting around the house. I have no desire to be alone or with a group of people. I don't want to sleep but I would love to go to bed. I have no desire to watch TV, read a book or listen to music. I have no need for the internet or basically the use of my mind. I hate the sun, but at the same time adore it.

So you ask,what do I really want to do with my day?

I would like to go out in the warm sun, lay down in the green grass and stare at the sky with somebody (just one person, that is all, no more/no less)... Just to sit and figure out which clouds make what figures. Fret as a gagle of geese fly overhead, hoping and praying they don't poo on us. Enjoying the sounds of birds and buggies. Maybe even fall asleep!

Damn the confines of work.

Depressing

I have dreams of owning a home... really I do. I know I didn't take care of my debt when I had my opportunities. Shame on me, but Scott and I are working really hard to get them paid down. I also am totally aware that prices in New England are through the roof, but nothing emphasizes it more then when you are doing the quality assurance review and files and seeing all the homes in different parts of the country and how much their appraised values are.

For instance, I just reviewed a file for a house in Florida. This house has a total of 5 rooms with 934 sq ft. living space and the total site area (house and land) is 13,900 sq ft. This house very visibly needs work but the purchase price was $89,000 and it even includes central air! The yard is nice. It is obvious by the pictures that the previous owners (this was a purchase) did not exactly show love for their home. Granted you can see loads of potential with the yard and the house. This is the kind of thing I am looking for, a fixer upper at a reasonable price so I can still make improvements.

Now with all of that in mind, as Scott and I were driving around earlier this week, we saw this house and I got kind of excited... until I saw how much they were asking.

On that note, I will never own a home at this rate.

The Official Word

Unless it is a very special occasion, there are NEVER to be shots again! Ultimately shots lead to bad places. Granted, I did wake up nice n' early (about 8:30) and was ready to rock for breakfast. Aside from my spinney head I was good. I really don't think I should be able to get trashed like that EVER. It is bad enough I am obstinate and stubborn without the aid of alcoholic drinks. Aye… drinking is fun but getting super trashed is not. I feel relatively no repercussions the next day except for all the things I remember (or not remember). There is usually nothing specific, it is just reviewing the night in my head with a sober mind. Kinda makes me cringe a little bit. It only works out best when all parties involved are equally drunk, only then do I not feel so bad.

Very Interesting Site

I was scanning though the news sites and on NPR I found this story about a site called PostSecret The premise is that you send anonymous postcards with secrets you’ve never told anyone. For some reason I am totally riveted by it!
