House Hunting and other thoughts for a Thursday

House hunting is not easy.  Especially when you have a limited budget and specific parameters.  In this case, the horses.  We need enough land to have them and would like the property to already have a horse set up.  This isn't the easiest thing to find even where we moved to.  So this evening I am going out with our realtor to view some properties.  If we would just win the lotto I wouldn't have to be worried about this.  We could just buy the land and build the house and barn we want.  Of course we'll never win the lotto.  So I must search.  One good thing is that the DH is not here to view them with me.  He would drive me insane looking at places.  This way I can pace myself. 

The weather has cooled down and it feels splendid.  I'm considering pushing back the shipping date for the horses now for a couple of reasons.  The biggest is money.  It would save us the cash we need right now to perhaps get into a house.  I can put the shipping costs onto a credit card.  After we are in the house who cares?  Right?  Between cash and the credit card amount is $300.  Not enough to go broke over, don't you think?

I had jalapeno cornbread at lunch and I'm beginning to wonder if the marvelous taste was worth what might happen later... 

Finally working with numbers and spreadsheets.  Thankfully.  I was beginning to wonder if I had made a wise choice in my job selection.  I have the freedom to maintain two budgets anyway I want.  This is wonderful for an Excel nut like myself.  I'm having a good time experimenting with dashboards and formulas. 

SONG OF THE BLOG:  Tennessee Line by Daughtry.  Just cause it's an awesome song and I'll be seeing him on the 2nd.
