I have found a new job! This job consists of me spending more time trying to find things, particularly homes, that Dust and I can win. That’s right, professional sweepstakes enterer.
It doesn’t really pay well along the road, until the end… and won’t we all be happy then?
As the new year rushes in, we are faced again with our yearly goal of “getting out of this house.” Something that is very difficult for us for many reasons.
I cannot describe why we love our house and where we live. Really, my complaints come from that place that we all have for “hating home.” We are not stuck here, we make the conscious choice, each and everytime it comes around, to remain here. I know I complain about it, but that’s out of something other than actually wanting to move.
BUT… it’s small. This is my main complaint, and not a very valid one at that. And while we want desperately a home better suited for a family (like one where people don’t have to enter our bedroom to go to the bathroom), we just can’t come to terms with where that house would be.
And so… each and every element of this little predicament goes away if we WIN the house for FREE!
If you think about it, everything is riding on this little “job of mine.” I know that others have been entering contests for years, but I really haven’t been the type. However, did you know this year’s HGTV Dream Home is in Woodland? That, my friends, would SOLVE EVERYTHING! (Not that I want to live in Woodland, but really, the house is FREE, and it’s better than moving to Santa Fe where one of the last dream homes were).
So could you cross some fingers for me? Oh, and if you previously didn’t know you could still enter the HGTV Dream Home contest, will you please just forget I said anything? Really, I need this more than you. YOU can make decisions in your own life, I cannot. For that, you really owe me one. Don’t enter.
