Update and a Question...
Well, as I have mentioned in an earlier post, we are not able to buy a house yet due to credit problems. We have several things to take care of to get our credit score up. It’s not that bad, really. If we paid everything off that is on our report, including medical bills, it will cost us under three grand. A lot better than I had thought it would be.
So that means that we will have to rent for another year, which is ok because it will give us time to get our credit up to par so we can buy when the year is up. lg said that she would prefer a house to rent rather than another apartment. Since we have been talking about this, it dawned on me that lg and I have never lived in a place where we were the only people in the building. We either lived in an apartment building, rented a portion of a house with other units in it or have had roommates in every single place we have lived in the last nineteen years! (Some of the roommates were fun, though...*evil grin*)
We have been looking for houses to rent for the last few days and have found several. We had narrowed it down to two as of today. The first is a 3br/1.5ba on a corner lot of a decent sub-division. Its brick with a large manufactured addition. Its very clean with a large, screened in patio, but is not the most stylish. Very ‘70s! lol The next door neighbor (who was very nice) told us that the rent was $950/mo. The second house was actually VERY nice. Its a 3br/2ba on a very secluded lot, with a patio and a fairly large, screened in pool!
So, today I called the numbers from the signs out front. I called the one with the pool first. The woman was kinda bitchy (not important, really) and told me that the rent was $1,200/mo. About what I had expected. When I called about the other home, I got a pleasant surprise. The rent is only $875/mo! Now, truthfully, we could afford the house with the pool and it would be very nice to have for a year. The problem is that if we did that, we would not have the resources to pay off the things on our credit report, and end up in the same boat as we are in right now at the end of the year-lease.
So we are in the process of filling out the application and getting the ball rolling on the house without the pool. Both of us are very excited and a little nervous, but that’s natural, I think. To be the only ones living there is going to be a pleasant, new experience for us. I believe it will do wonders for our new lifestyle too! For lg not to have to worry about people on the other side of the wall hearing us will do wonders on its own ( I couldn’t care less who hears us...lol).
Ok, I have a question that I am going to ask here and on the TPE forum. It concerns ‘playrooms’. We will have an extra room that we plan on hooking up all my computers in (there are five). I was also thinking that this could serve well as a playroom also. My question is:
How do you all hide/protect your playrooms without bringing undo attention to it to begin with?
I mean, if you lock the door and tell kids/guests not to go in, doesn’t that just make them want to know what’s in there all the more? I thought of keeping our stuff in our bedroom, but this would mean lugging things back and forth all the time. I know that we could just keep playing in our bedroom, which we may end up having to do, but I think there is something to be said for having separate spaces for ‘D/s play’ and our vanilla lives. Just thought you all may know some tricks I hadn't thought of.
Anyway, life is hectic, nerve-wracking and as scary as ever...but without conflict and change what a boring world we would live in.
Keep Living Well.
