Wanted: $15,000
Last night Nathan and I sat and had another brainstorming session. We have these periodically and even though they seem so logical at the time, they rarely ever get us anywhere. The first brainstorming session we had was about two years ago and it was right around the time we bought the house. We were trying to figure out how we could buy the house, without actually buying the house. Laugh if you will, but we honestly have conversations like that. Considering every possibility is apart of Nathan's personality, and now I've sort of grown accustomed to it. It gives us assurance that we are doing the right thing, and that there's not even the slightest bit of doubt in our minds. I digress, as usual.
So last night, we had another analytical conversation that again, involved thinking up new ways to finish the house, without us actually finishing the house. We have been absolutely frugal with our money for the past few months, and even when we haven't been (ahem, trips to the Taproom, Mangia (I of course am addicted to one of the most expensive items on their menu), or Crown), we have somehow managed to make ends meet without accruing credit card debt, which I despise. Realize now, that in our conversation, we threw out the following ideas: go back to the bank and borrow another 15,000 so that we can pay someone to finish up... everything; Nathan suddenly gets enough freelance work to cover the 15,000 we need to finish the house without us finishing the house, and he gets it all this week; win the lottery (new idea just popped into my head. I'm liking it, although we don't buy lottery tickets or gamble much, it's the new year, and I can always start fresh); and lastly, Nathan could sell his body to a strip-joint and make an easy 20,000 which would give us an extra 5 grand to buy appliances with.
Needless to say, we are back where we started, but at least we feel better about where we are, because we know for sure now, that we cannot do it any other way. Nathan and I will finish up the remainder of the work, and we will soon be in the very house we restored! Sweet mother of Jesus!!
