Life and Houses

It's been a few months now since my last post and not much has happened on the job front.  I have sent out about 20 resumes with no answer back (sigh).  At least I'm trying!!  In the life front, I just celebrated my 10 year wedding anniversary.  It was a great day!  Had a big BBQ with many of our great friends. We ate to much, drank way toooooo much and had many laughs......and somehow cat fur got in my mouth while I was sleeping.  Over all a great day!

I have, however, found my dream house!  It's a big beautiful house, on 1.2 acres it a great part of town.  Oh I want it!!  This house would be perfect for us.  The only issue (a big issue) is that it is original 1972 inside.  Yah, about $100,000 worth of reno's to be done.  If I had the money or the means to get the money, we would be in that house and starting on our adventure of transforming 1972 into 2012.

Maybe, I can find a way to make the money???  I could go back to bar tending.  That does or did make us good "Tax Free" money.  But with working shift work it would be hard to commit to working every weekend or every night for that matter.  This might not be a good idea, I would never see my family.  I could teach classes of some sort.  I do have some pretty good math skills and grade 10 piano.  I have also been looking at a career change, a Realtor! But this would take quite a bit of time to build up the cash needed to take the courses, to establish myself, sell a house or 2 and have money in the bank.

I did come up with something else.  But I think it may be kinda far fetched.  Its a renovation show.  Maybe on HGTV??  Called Her Reno.  It would show me and my crew (once I get one) reno-ing my dream house to what I want it to be.  Kinda like Sarah's House....only it would be Kristy's House, and I would be doing more of the actual Reno's and not just making it pretty.  This option would be hard to do.  I would first have to convince HGTV that they want to film this, then find sponsors to donate stuff to me, find a contractor to help me out (for free), convince my family that this is a great option, oh and actually do all of the work!  Maybe I could even get guest appearances!!  I could also blog about the whole process.  hhhmmmmmmm......the more I think about this, the more the ideas keep coming!!  I really like this idea!!  If anyone wants to sponsor me with this, let me know!!  I think this would be a great show.  I know I would watch it!!  HGTV could carry it on in different city's with different women renovating their dream houses.  I could even be a guest on one of their shows!! 

I'm going to see what I can find on HGTV shows......
wish me luck
