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!
