It seems to me that I am getting more and more tired when I get home from work. I guess my age is catching up with me. After getting to work and doing things all day, I always seem to have to wait in traffic before I get home. It’s getting tiresome.

Luckily, I have the privilege of doing some shopping online when I get home. This always seems to relieve the tension that has built up all day. I like knowing that my money is well spent and bringing home the things we need provides me with a good feeling. Shopping on the internet can be fun.

The other day I went to the hardware store. I was looking for several items and I was very busy. It just happened that I received a phone call while I was shopping and I had to stop and get a number out of my wallet. It turns out that I inadvertently laid my wallet down on some boxes in the isle and walked away.

Needless to say, I discovered the error in short order when I went to pay the bill. I retraced my steps and was very lucky to find the missing wallet. I don’t know what I would have done if I had actually lost it. My whole life is in my wallet and it would have taken many hours to replace all the cards inside. I must be more careful in the future.

My husband and I just moved into our first real house. When we first got married, we were renting an apartment and then we were renting a house. Now we own a house or at least have a mortgage on one. We have been trying to cut back on various things to pay for this house and that has led to a lot of discussions. Well, let’s be honest discussions is just a nice way of saying arguments. My husband really wants me to cut back on my shopping, which is fine. I completely understand we need to compromise, however it seems like all the cut backs are with my things. I suggested cutting back on our ExpertSatellite costs and he went crazy. I was just suggesting it and trying to make things fair, but he took offense to it. I don’t understand what the big deal is. We have hundreds of channels we don’t even watch, so I don’t understand why we need to pay for them. To me it seems like an easy decision. I guess it will continue to be in the “discussion” category. I just hope we figure it all out soon.
