Getting Away From Life to Get Back In It
November 28, 2009
Our lives are not all fun and silliness, is it? After my wife and I passed a full week away from reality on our vacation, it was time for the two of us to face the music. From high interest rates on our credit cards and our car loan to house projects left unfinished, she and I had our work lined up for us. And I’m stubborn old dog, so I was not giving up on my GPS project, either.
First we tackled the credit cards. Gratefully, even in this time of difficult credit, credit card companies and auto loan agencies seem eager to please people with good credit. My wife did a good job isolating the optimum deal on the best 0 percent balance transfer credit cards.
I’m grateful someone in the household has some sure sense of our finances… and it sure as heck is not me. But the lower interest and lower monthly bills ought to genuinely supply us some breathing room.
Then we had to discuss a number of family improvements we had been planning for quite some time. Some might suppose we have no business investing in improvements at this time, but what can I say? We prefer to obstinately press 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.
Thankfully, she’s being either encouraging or patient of my trivial gadget obsession. I’m not too bad about it, but I have my weakness. Presently 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 collar for our dog’s safety.
I think GPS technology has evolved enough and become 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 challenging when the people around you use your problems as launching points for their pride rather than opportunities to unite and mature.
