Justin ******

******* *********** Mortgage

**** ** ******** ****

Clearwater, FL  33765

Dear Justin,

I am still pinching myself two months later.  When I walk in my front door everyday I am still keenly aware that it is MY front door and that feeling is amazing.  I am also completely thrilled that you helped me achieve such a large personal goal all by myself.  I have no regrets about my financial choices and decisions and that’s equally priceless. I can sit quietly on my new screened patio with a cold drink and no longer worry about my future.

I wanted to also thank you for sending me to one of your contacts, which led me to a home I’m very proud to own.  A home that was move-in ready, newly remodeled, a home in my price range, a home that meets my family’s needs and wishes.  A home I get compliments on!  Without your guidance I would have been lost.

On one final note, I would highly recommend you to everyone that I come into contact with who wrongly believes they cannot afford to purchase a home, or that they are not a good candidate for a home loan.  Heck, I will recommend you to anyone looking to buy their own dream. You are the reason I can walk into my front door everyday.  You are the reason I am no longer a disgruntled tenant dealing with insane landlords who are getting rich off of my income and treating me poorly in the process.

Thank you Justin!  I wish you the best as you continue to help other’s like me.

A happy homeowner,

Kristy ****

Things I never write about in my blog that I am going to write about today

I hate mommy blogs whereby the mother complains about being a stay at home mom, complains about her whiney bratty children and utterly has no gratitude for anything in her life.  Hate them. I could provide a list, but I’m sure everyone’s read one or two or three thousand of these ranting bitches blog’s. Yes, attack me, I don’t care.  I’m sick of them.

My mother used to listen to “My Sharona” by the Knack full blast on the radio when it came on.  Meaning this was before cassette tapes and CD’s even.  She had an 8-track player in her car when I was a young child.  This is the only song that reminds me of my mother and wouldn’t you know it, I hear the damn thing all the time.  I never speak about how much the chosen absence of my mother (her choice) affects me.  Mostly because I have learned to move through the world without a mother, but it doesn’t mean it is easy.  It can be lonely and heart wrenching.  She turned 60 this year.  It’s been 17 years.  In two more years I will have lived as much of my life without a mother as I did with one.

Rick’s brother Randy wants to quit his job. Ok I don’t think he wants to but his gf wants him too so he can stay home and watch Matthew all day.  She has to do some sort of nursing training and they have never put Matthew with a daycare or a babysitter and low and behold that would cost money so Randy is considering quitting his job. I have one thing to say….MISTAKE.  His gf is STILL FOR THE LOVE OF GOD married to someone else.  Therefore she can’t put Randy on her health insurance, etc.  And if she ever decides to up and leave him like she left the last one, he’s f’d.

My son came to me about 9 months ago and told me he thinks he is bisexual.  I think its highly possible that he’s simply just gay. I also could care less what he decides his sexual preference is.  My ex-husband is a Jesus Convenient and refuses to believe this is possible, because his lame ass considers homosexuality a sin.  Fool.  Have I mentioned lately how much I hate him?

I snore.  At night if it wakes Rick up, he will often wake up and act like a fool about how I am somehow doing this on purpose and that I can control my nasal passages and their behavior while I’m sleeping. This pisses me off because Rick also snores, but when his snoring bothers me, I remove myself from the bedroom and let him sleep.  I resent that I quietly do this but he doesn’t.  

I got asked out today by a cute guy.  A guy that I see often but don’t pay any mind to because I’m happily married, a guy that I only know in passing because he’s the delivery boy that brings my lunch occasionally when I order out from his place of business. I would venture to guess that he’s about 26 years old.  Considering my age, this is a nice compliment.  He had no clue, thought I was his age.  

In the last few months my ex-husband has a. had his house in foreclosure (it appears he may have restructured his loan for the time being), b. pled guilty to writing a rubber check for over 4k. (has to pay it back with fines and costs) and c. lost his drivers license (public records doesn’t say why but I think it might be because he hasn’t paid on the aforementioned restitution on time, etc.  I haven’t talked about any of it because while it concerns me, I’ve tried to move away from it as much as possible.  

A few days ago I drove down the street that I used to own a house on, the house that was foreclosed on due to the ex-husband’s lying and cheating ways.  I noticed that the next door neighbor’s house looked entirely different.  The previous next whore neighbors house that is.  And it had a for sale sign in front.  The next day I hunted down the house on realtor.com to learn that her ex-husband remodeled the entire house and now lives in a much nicer house with his new woman.  I hope he makes a killing on that remodel job because he deserves it.  And yes, maybe I’m crazy because I still always wish the best for that man. We were both equally wronged by our spouses, and the best revenge is to live a better life than theirs.

After being in college since Jan of 2005 I find it nearly impossible to write without fixing sentences etc.  It’s taken some of the blog writing and poetry writing thunder out of my storm.

I bought a house, we bought a house. (Technically I did it…but technically it’s our house) and we both still have savings.  And that my friend’s is sweet.

List of things I want to do to the house.

  1. put a door in to access the outside patio without walking around the entire left side of the house
  2. Paint all the rooms
  3. Have a party
  4. Organize
  5. Hang up art, candles, pictures, etc.
  6. Buy patio furniture
  7. Organize 2nd bedroom
  8. find professional kitchen type shelves for kitchen (help!)

I am taking a film class after I finish Astronomy and Mythology.  Nice.  I can’t wait.  Something creative. I also got a flat screen TV for my birthday from Rick, it’s going in the bedroom.  

Well there you have it, if I have talked about any of these things before I don’t recall.

Creativity 101

I took the last few weeks off to concentrate on moving.  My last class ended on 4-14    and my next one starts on 5-06.  Yes, tomorrow.  It’s been a much needed and nice break and would explain my largely absent entries on my blog.  I have not wanted to look at or be at a computer much at all.  Save for the constant downloading of new music from Itunes.  

Tomorrow starts an Astrology course and then a week later I am doubled up also taking a Mythology course.  All these ‘ology courses in my final months of college.  Whew, I can’t wait to finish this program.  After these two courses and somewhat overlapped is Intro to Film Studies.  For some reason I can’t wait to get to that one.  I also have a Nutrition course and a Creative writing course before I’m done.  It’s going to go by so fast, I just know it.

We are still not finished with the house and for some reason I think it’ll be another six months before I’m at a place where I am feeling done.  We are close though.  I just have so many ideas now that I can paint walls and truly invest my creativity to a home again.  I want to paint my kitchen with chalkboard paint so I can write on my walls and constantly change my words there.  I am craving creativity again in my life in big doses; I think this explains the recent obsession with music again. 

We did manage to paint our bedroom and the only thing that’s largely in there is our bed and mentally that is so soothing, I love it.  The room is calm and relaxes me.  I’m happy with how it turned out.  

My latest fave song obsession is as follows:

Busted Heart

Follow me
To the shipwreck shores of a dark and strange country
I was born
A stranger thinking out loud in a foreign tongue
I was out of place
I was looking all around just a’trying to find a friendly face
But they’re all gone

Did you ever think
Did you ever think, think
A lotta people everyday who will surely drown
Did you ever think
Did you ever think, think
Who left me all alone in this town?

And a busted heart is a welcome friend
And when that heart leaves, what will you do then?
And if I cry, is that a sin?

And the wisdom is a whisper
And I’m trying to understand
What I say, what I think, where I sleep, when I breathe
What I do with my hands

Bishop Allen
