It’s about to get better
I’m knocking on wood as I type this, but it appears our house has sold. I couldn’t stop screaming when we got the news, because to me it’s the voice of God telling me I’m not as dumb as I am blonde! This new life of mine only works if we downsize, and the biggest expense has been my castle.
Part of the reason I worked so hard, and worried so much about losing my TV income, was that I knew we couldn’t afford this house without it. I would do almost anything to keep this house. It’s not a mansion, it’s not the most expensive house on the west side, but it’s unique and screams ANITA lives here (well it did till I took the Billboard with my face on it down from the garage walls, that puppies going to the new house!)
Well anyway, I clung to this house thinking it was partially responsible for making me happy. I loved how it functioned for our family, however I was too busy paying for it to really enjoy it, or even spend much time here. These last few weeks, things have finally settled down and I have been home for several hours at a time, just LIVING. It’s priceless. I hope that living debt free in our new home, will be even more valuable, if not, I’m getting dibs on buying this place back, that is if I can get that high paying TV gig back too. Just Joshin’ folks….because Breaking News: I may be Broke, but I’m happier than Anita Cochran has ever been even sitting at her favorite Starbucks store!
