i have this idea
Maybe I make my life a little harder than it should be?
David and I started talking about purchasing the house we've been renting for a year. It was a quick thought that I'm now starting to rethink. ANywho, we came up with some kickass plans on making it "our" home. Who would've thought that that house would have so much potential?! After we spent 30 mins spitting out different ideas, we both realized that we would have to put so much money into the house that we wouldn't even get to see. Avondale is not where I want to live for the rest of my life. Hell, if I could I would leave NOW. I just don't have anywhere else to go, and I'm kind of afraid to "settle down." Purchasing a home means that we would be living there probably a lot longer than we anticipate. Hmmmm.. it's not bad to consider different options though. If we do buy the house we'd pay $85,000 for it, but put close to $100,000 in renovations. Should we really do all of that to a house that we would probably only get $140,000 for if we were to sell it?! I mean, no matter how perfect a house is, the area it is in molds the value. Too much to think about...
I need money!
The weekend was a good one. Saturday, I shopped with my parents ALL day, and then met David at Walmart to pick up some presents for his family. We then went home to get ready for the Bauer Christmas gathering. That wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. However, if it weren't for his cousin/future cousins then I would've been bored out of my mind. After everyone left, David and I visted with his mom for hours until she kicked us out around midnight!?! Sunday I was back at the mall with David, his mom & sister, and Ms. Cherie. It was a blast. We spent about 5 hours just walking around, and then extended the trip to Target and Taco Bell. Fun times. I was proud of myself for not buying much of anything. Only $4 was spent @ Target, but that's because I found a few little small things to get my nephews.
I'm almost done shopping for Christmas. I have only a few people to shop for...

Okay, so that seems like a lot more people... eek!
Only 3 more days of work, and I'm off for a week!!! After the first of the year, I'll probably still be at Fidelity but i'm still looking for other jobs. I want need a sense of independence. I'm slowly forgetting the meaning of a word that I have fought so hard to understand.
2006 is quickly coming to an end.
