Don’t trip

Sometimes it’s just not easy to place things where you don’t have to run cords across the floor. To help you so you don’t trip over the cord you can buy some floor cord covers which will cover up the cord and make the area look much nicer and safer.

You can even buy these in different colors and styles to match your decor. They come in woodgrain too. Prices are reasonable so there is no need to have cords where they don’t belong because it’s not affordable to hide them.

I wish they had used them in my condo to take the cable for the TV from one side of the room to the other. Instead they have the cable running up over the sliding glass door then down along the baseboard then up along the fireplace then down along the baseboard to the opposite wall. It just doesn’t look very neat.

Funds are tight

Money is tight and I usually run out of money before I run out of week. I know that doesn’t sound quite right but what I mean is we’re usually out of money before payday comes again. I really hate when that happens. I know we could go out and get a payday cash advance but I’m not too sure about some of the places around here that do that.

Instead we go through things we have and see if we can sell them. If this keeps up and I can’t find a job we aren’t going to have anything left in our condo! There are a few things I wish hubby would get rid of but he refuses to do that. It would make life so much easier if he would just break down and sell those things.

Christmas decorating

I’m living in a condo again and I’ve been seeing people unloading Christmas decorations from their cars. I’m guessing they are keeping their decorations in the steel buildings which is a storage facility down the street. These condos don’t come with a whole lot of storage space.

My bedroom closet is full, which is the largest closet in the place. I’m surprised at the kitchen though.. there is more cabinets and storage than I thought it would have.. which makes me happy. There are 3 nice deep drawers and one we are using as a spice drawer. We are able to store the spices upright in the drawer because it’s so deep. We use another one of the drawers to put our boxes of trash bags and storage bags in. The other is used for our silverware, etc.

Looking

We have been looking for a place to rent. We’d love to buy but since I’ve been out of work our credit has gotten fairly crappy and probably wouldn’t be able to get a mortgage. I’ve been calling agents and left them messages but haven’t gotten a call back from any of them.

It’s not like we want something huge with a room dedicated to fitness equipment. We just need a 2 or 3 bedroom/2 bath place. We’d like it to be a house but we will even take another condo or townhouse. Just as long as there is room for hubby, Andi, Drew, the baby and me.

Anyone out there have something nice to rent in Atlantic County, NJ for under $1500 a month.. in a decent area?

House help

I miss the house we used to have. It had 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, a great kitchen, living room and dining room. We added on a 2 car garage and later added a 1 bedroom, 1 bath in law apartment on the back. The livingroom/great room area and master bedroom and bath had cathedral ceilings with skylights in the living room and kitchen.

We ran into financial problems and lost the house. I really wish we had looked into getting some foreclosure help before that happened. We didn’t do that and just let them take it. That began the condo renting cycle. We really want to try to get another house. Hubby really misses having a garage to tinker around in and I really miss having my own home. I miss being able to paint and do what I want with my home. I miss the peace and quiet we had at our old home. Some day… some day….
