Surving the Chores of Everyday Life

by on Nov.30, 2009, under OurChapters

Our lives are not all fun and silliness, is it? After my wife and I passed a good week away from reality on our vacation, it was time for us to confront reality. From exorbitant interest on our credit cards and our car loan to house plans left pending, we had our work lined up for us. And I’m persistent old dog, so I wasn’t giving up on my gps plan, either.

First we tackled the credit cards. Gratefully, even in this time of difficult credit, credit card companies and auto loan agencies seem anxious to please individuals with good credit. My wife did a great job isolating the best deal on a 0 percent credit card.

I’m thankful someone in the household has some sure sense of our financial situation… and it sure as heck is not me. But the lower interest and smaller monthly bills should really provide us some breathing room.

Next we had to discuss a number of household improvements we had been designing for quite some time. Some may say we have no business investing in improvements at this time, but what can I say? We prefer to stubbornly push onward.

My wife has been looking over the different available 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.

Gratefully, she’s being either encouraging or tolerant of my little 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 projector or a Garmin Golflogix GPS. Speaking of GPS, we both agree it is time to invest in a dog gps unit for our dog’s safety.

I think GPS tech has evolved enough and grown cheap enough that we need to incorporate it into our life.

I am only relieved my wife and I are on the same page for most of this material. People’s lives can be so much more difficult when the individuals around you use our problems as launching places for their pride rather than chances to unify and grow.
