A little bit of this, a little of that

June 18th, 2008 at 08:19 pm

Well, I have gotten in the habit of posting a little story, a little something everyday on this site. Generally I find a topic and stick with it. Not today, I'm going to jump all over the place to see if you can keep up.

First, to update yesterdays omission of credit card guilt~ Baseball boy and I have a meeting to sit down tonight and do a thorough financial gameplan to eliminate the debt as fast as possible. He has been much more open to discussing finances lately, and I can only guess it's because he finally has a paycheck coming in. Looking back, I realize I tend to get money obsessive during the times he's unemployed. LOL.
So problem resolution will be posted soon.

I am still feeling numb and 'out of it' from putting down my dear dog yesterday, so I'm having trouble thinking in depth or following a string of thoughts today. Hence the illogical blog jumpings-

Next, a house that I have been eyeing online has gone under contract. And not under my contract. I am really upset over this. I invested alot of research into this house, and had big plans for it. Only I have never seen it in person. I was planning to see it at the end of this month when I am in that town doing wedding stuff.
The damn house was overpriced for months and finally the sellers lowered the asking price by 30k and *swoop* some pheonix couple grabbed it. (you see what kind of research I am capable of? I even know the buyers hometown)
I bet they have no plans to put in a cobblestone driveway with a large latice overhang the way I did. And enclose it with a stone fence with iron toppers, and have a big wraught iron gate at the end of the driveway.
*sigh*. Oh well. They say not to fall in love, and I did, but now I have a "love standard" against which to compare all other houses I look at in a few weeks.
Looking online, there are some houses worth looking at, but none compare in size/quality/price. Well, the location was iffy, so maybe it just wasnt meant to be.

And finally, Baseball boy is talking about getting another dog. I admit I went on a rescue website today and it breaks my heart knowing those adorable dogs are homeless and in need of a family. But I have some reservations with buying a house already owning a large dog. I am trying to figure out how much homeowners insurance will increase if I have a dog. I am wondering if getting a large dog AFTER I buy and insure my house isnt a smarter thing to do.

I was also thinking of telling Baseball boy we cant get a dog until this debt is paid off. If I can stick to my guns on that plan, the debt would surely be wiped out by the end of the summer.

Thats it for now. How do we like the blog styles? One topic or several? Which is more fun to read? I know I can drone on and get boring sometimes when I delve into a specific topic on my mind...

    A higher homeowners premium for a dog? I have never heard of such a thing. Is this a state-by-state thing? I have always had a dog, continuously, since birth I think. I love dogs so much. I would have a hard time living without a dog. They make life bearable, don't you think?

    I'm so sorry about your dog! I'm heading to the vet's this afternoon to hear the verdict on my dog's health issues.

    Write about one or several, whatever you feel -- I enjoy reading your posts! And I, too, am so sorry about your pooch. I had THE coolest cat on the planet until I had to put him down just over a year ago. It was heartbreaking.

    Hey! I definitely understand the dog issue. We put our dog down to sleep around 2000... it just didn't feel right to get a dog so soon. We ended up getting a new one around 2002. It's amazing how attached we become to our pets. They are like children!

    But that's great to hear that baseball boy is starting to open up about money! That's the first step and it can only get better from here. I'm excited to see the accomplishments you both achieve!

    Oh, and to reply to the comment you made on my blog... I saw an original early 20th century Japanese painting that my mom would love. I'm buying it now so I don't have to spend a large chunk of change come the holidays.
