Moved

I moved 2 weeks ago and it feels so good to finally be out of that camper we were in. I’m living at my sister-in-laws house with my daughter, her fiancée and son. I’m also living with a kitty and puppy too. They don’t get along too well yet but they are getting better being around each other.

My sister-in-law moved into a 1 bedroom condo and we are paying rent and also trying to fix the place up so she can sell it later on. The house needs lots of paint and care to get it ready for sale. There is a fireplace in the basement that is white painted brick. It would be nice to be able to get rid of the brick and replace that with one of the nice Amish fireplaces that I’ve seen. There is one that even has a entertainment center type surround for it.

This house is electric and having a fireplace in the winter helps to keep the heating bills down. It doesn’t have central air either, just window units. We only put the air on in the rooms we are in. At night we turn off the downstairs units and turn on the bedroom units.

Moving

I’m moving tomorrow. I’m finally getting out of this camper. It’s been a long 9 months. I’m moving in, and sharing a house, with my daughter, her fiancee, my 10 month old grandson and their puppy.

Today I’ve been packing up my stuff from here. I have my toothpaste, clothes, sleeping pills, hairbrush, makeup and all the stuff I brought from the condo all packed up.

I can’t wait to get the heck out of here. I hate it with a passion. It will be so nice to have a heck of a lot more room to move around in. I’ll have a bedroom that’s about 5 times bigger than the one in this camper.

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?

Economy = bad

I was flipping though the channels on the tv the other day and saw a show about how horrible the economy is. They were showing people living on the street and talking about how many are losing their homes. They interviewed one guy who said “they are making me sell my timeshare“.

I’m sorry.. I just can’t feel bad for that guy. I don’t have a job.. I’m still trying to find one and I live in a camper. I just couldn’t see myself spending money on a house that you have to share with other people during the year. If I were to spend money on a house it would be one that my family would live in all year around.

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….
