10 Dec 2010 I’m good

I have really cheap life insurance because I don’t pay a dime for it. It comes out of hubby’s paycheck. I’m not working right now so I don’t have my own insurance that I pay for.

I got some fairly good news earlier today. I called the storage company and they are willing to work with us and not put our stuff for auction. We will be making payments every 2 weeks, when hubby gets paid, to get caught up. So hopefully in a few months I’ll have my stuff back again! That will make me very happy.

I don’t feel quite as stressed as I did yesterday now that I don’t have the worry of my stuff being auctioned off to strangers.

I love looking at Christmas decorations and love decorating my house. Well I used to love it but now that all my Christmas decorations are in storage the only lights in my place will be hudson valley lighting that is in the place already.

There are a lot of things that mean a lot to me in storage but unless I can come up with just about $2000 in less than 30 days all my precious things will be sold at auction. I’m really, really sad about this whole thing.

*sigh* I suppose I should just consider those things gone because there is nothing I can do about getting them back now short of robbing a bank or something else totally illegal. Don’t worry.. I won’t be doing anything stupid like that.

06 Dec 2010 Here we go…

Moving time again and Saturday is the day. We’re busy packing what little stuff we have for the move. We’ll have a sofa, coffee table, chair, bed and a couple of tv stands plus some boxes to move.

Because of financial reasons all of my things are STILL in storage where they have been for over a year now. I really miss my stuff. Andi will say she needs something and I always end up saying that I have whatever it is but it’s in storage.

I have just one set of sheets for my bed because I don’t want to and can’t afford to buy any extras and the others I do have are in storage.

I need to either find a job (no luck with that one) or find a way to make a decent amount of money working from home (without falling for scams). I just hate living this way… it’s depressing and that’s not a good thing.

Even though I went through all my stuff before I moved almost a year ago I’m going to have to do it again when I finally get my stuff out of storage. I’ve had all this time to think about that stuff and I’ve decided I need to get rid of more things. I packed up stuff that is probably no good now too.. stuff like weight loss diet pills, vitamins and some spices. They’ve been sitting in boxes for a year now and I wouldn’t want to even use them now.

I will probably sell my full sized bed that was in the spare bedroom and some extra furniture I won’t be needing anymore. I want to get myself a one bedroom place and probably won’t have room for a lot of things. I’m thinking I want to move back up to Smithville again. I did like the area I just wasn’t too thrilled with the place I lived in. I’m hoping I can find a place with an updated kitchen and bathroom.

24 Jul 2010 New blog
Author:  |  Category: Blogging  | Tags: , , , , ,  | Comments off

I just started a new blog on a subdomain of this blog. It’s called Do You Know Me? and will contain old picture of people that were found in my late uncle’s attic. I sorted through them and separated them into people I know and people I don’t know. I’m putting up the ones I don’t know on that blog in hopes that someone will recognize them and leave me a comment with who they are.

I’ll be trying to put up at least one old photo a day and when I get my stuff out of storage I’ll have a lot more to scan and put up there.

So if you can help me out, I’d really appreciate it!

24 Jul 2010 I need light
Author:  |  Category: life  | Tags: , , , ,  | Comments off

I can’t wait until we can afford to get our stuff out of storage. I need some of my lamps. I can’t afford to go out and buy new ones right now although I’d love to get some Quoizel lighting. They make some very pretty lamps that I’d love to have. I have borrowed lamps right now but I just want my own. I love my lamps.. they’re so pretty.

I’d also love to replace the lighting in the bathroom. The current lighting is a strip of what I call “movie star dressing room” lights. You know the kind.. they are a strip of about 4 lights that have the huge round bulbs in it. They were very popular in the 80′s. We had them in the house we used to have that was built in 1986. I liked them then but not so much anymore. I’d like something a little more sleek and modern looking.

Actually this whole house could do with new lighting and even an electrical upgrade. We can’t have the window air conditioning units on and use a vacuum at the same time without tripping a circuit breaker. That just doesn’t seem all that safe to me.

22 Jun 2010 Tired and stressed
Author:  |  Category: Health  | Tags: , , , , , ,  | Comments off

I’ve been so stressed lately trying to figure out a way to pay our storage bill and come up with the money to get my stuff moved to our new place. I haven’t been able to sleep very well. I keep waking up every couple hours or so. It’s so bad that I’ve been reading some prevera reviews to help with the bags and dark circles under my eyes.

I ran out of ideas to help come up with the money. I could sell things but everything I own is in storage so I can’t sell them until I can get them out of storage. Do you see the viscous circle I’m running in? So the only other thing I can think of is to ask for donations on my blog. I really hate doing that and it’s probably going to cause me even more stress but I have to do something. I don’t have anyone I can borrow from because most everyone I know has money problems too… *sigh*

Even though I asked in the post below, I’ll ask again. If you have a little to spare and would like to help me out click on the donate button in my sidebar. Any amount at all will help and I really appreciate any help you can give.
