What is New

Our lives aren’t all fun and silliness, is it? After my wife and I spent 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 auto loan to home projects left incomplete, she and I had our work lined up for us. And I’m tenacious old dog, so I wasn’t giving up on my gps plan, either.

First we addressed the credit cards. Thankfully, even in this time of tough credit, credit card companies and auto loan bureaus seem anxious to please individuals with good credit. My wife did a great job isolating the optimum deal on the best zero percent balance transfers.

I’m grateful somebody in the household has some sure sense of our financial situation… and it sure as heck is not me. But the lower interest rate and smaller monthly bills ought to really supply us a little extra breathing room.

Then we had to handle a number of home betterments we had been designing for quite some time. Some might say we have no business investing in betterments at this time, but what can I say? We prefer to pig-headedly push onward.

My wife has been looking over the different available steam shower units 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 supportive or patient of my small 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 bluetooth GPS receiver.

I think GPS tech has refined enough and become inexpensive enough that we need to integrate it into our life.

I’m only relieved my wife and I are on the same page for most of this stuff. Life can be so much more challenging when the individuals around you use our troubles as launching points for their pride rather than opportunities to unify and mature.
