So after lot’s of reading I’ve come to the decision that We the %99 have a right to be angry. My mom always told me if I worked hard things would be ok.

Well I worked hard at my minimum wage job and my husband worked hard as an aerospace machinist and yet here I sit 35 years old(soon to be 36) living at my mom’s house.

6 years ago We filed bankruptcy due to medical bills. My husbands job didn’t provide dependent insurance. I got sick I have graves disease which has debilitated me. He finally got another job with insurance and I was able to go to the doctor. Then He got laid off, We were told he made too much money to get medical assistance because you know we were living the high life on unemployment. For 2 years he looked for work with nothing, There were occasional interviews but they always went with some other prospect normally telling him he didn’t have the experience they were looking for.

We lived in Washington state, the cost of living is pretty high there and rent for our 2 bedroom apartment was $947.00 a month, we didn’t have cable we gave that up a long time ago, we also didn’t have a phone though we kept a pre-paid cell for emergencies. We also had to pay our own water, sewer, and trash, along side the electric bill and buying groceries for us and our kid. Our lease was coming up and the cheapest option they were offering was $1012.00 a month.

A few years ago Mark and I bought our first LCD t.v. A 40 inch Dynex from best buy. It’s been a great t.v. and even survived the 2500+ mile car trip from Washington. But apparently it couldn’t survive a falling broomstick handle. The tip of the broom hit it and and well now it’s just screwed.

This is what our t.v. looked like after the broom handle accidently fell into it.

So now we have to get a new t.v. because as you can see by the picture it was not only our t.v. but a computer monitor which we used for our media center computer. It really sucks to have unexpected expenses.

My bed in a bag finally arrived yesterday! I decided to go with neutral colors because well they go with anything..lol. So here it is

I finally got my new bed, well at least a part of it. We ordered a platform and for now it just has the air mattress sitting on it until we can get the actual mattress. But having just the platform has made a world of diffrence to my back. When we moved we left pretty much all our furniture behind so we’re starting over but I guess it will be ok. It’s a chance to get new stuff, but it’s just a slow and painful process.

A Day we spent at Coney Island August 4, 2011

I’m excited because I’m getting a new bed…for now we’ve been sleeping on an air

Today I purchased the humble bundle and I’m very glad I did. The humble bundle is a collections of cross platform(meanin they support windows, mac, and linux) collection of games. You decided what you want to pay then you can even decide how what you paid gets diveyed out, such as how much to developers and how much to charity. They are pretty neat games as well. If you get a chance I suggest checking out the bundle.
