Monday Update
Life continues to be a whirlwind of activity.
We put an offer in on the house we saw on Friday and are anxiously waiting to hear back from the seller. I had a flutter of excitement when my realtor called this morning, but it turns out that she forwarded the wrong approval letter with the contract and is faxing the right one off today. We’re still up in the air whether well be applying jointly or with just the partner’s name — there is one lending agency that will have much better rates if the partner applies alone, otherwise combined is not problem.
Monday brings the Carnival of Personal Finance No. 95 and many visiting readers. Thank you to the many kudos, your support encourages me to continue our positive progress.
This Friday is opening night for the art show that a friend and I are presenting in. I spent all Sunday putting the finishing touches on my 3D sculpture. I spent one evening last week painting a beautiful underwater scene in the exhibit space. Tomorrow I’ll be going down to finish the painting and see what else we can add to the space to make it attractive.
My progress on getting sewing work completed has been falling behind. Hopefully my client isn’t too upset by this since I did tell her there would be a delay while I worked on artwork for the show. She emailed me today hoping for product delivery early this week and I’ve still not started. Hopefully I can drop something off on Friday and pickup some more items to help gather more funds for our home — I’m debating earmarking 50% of these funds for home decoration since the partner has already vetoed any improvements within the first 6 months of moving in.
I have five interviews scheduled for this week (interview in connection with my job, not job interviews) and that’ll keep me out of the office for a couple days. While I don’t care for my current office/job, I must admit that I am getting some great professional experiences and opportunities.
