Idea in the making

Have you ever sat down to pay your bills and think to yourself, this is a total waste? One bill in particular, my rent payment, pained me to write out the amount due. I've always been the kind of woman who is on the move and spends little time at home...alone. I consider myself a pretty busy chica. I hang out with friends regularly, visit family and spends most of my time with my boyfriend Darren and his son Hunter. I can honestly say that every weekend we've been together I'm over at his place leaving my apartment vacant for 4 days (I have long weekends) and usually I go over there one more day during the week. So here I am sitting on my red couch in my semi empty living room thinking to myself "what a colossal waste of money I'm spending each month."

I've decided to take a chance well more like a challenge and see if I can live rent free for 6 months by house sitting for friends, family and dare I say strangers. The more I think about this crazy idea the more excited I become. I am going to make this work not only because I hate paying for my crummy apartment but also because I want the adventure. I'll have to force myself to meet new and exciting people, travel to different parts of the city, and be perpetually on the look out for upcoming jobs. To some this might sound crazy but to me this sounds perfectly sane. Hey, half of my wardrobe is in my car already.

I guess the next step is to line up a few house sitting jobs, give my apartment notice and start this crazy chapter in my life.

Wish me luck and tell all your friends and family I'll house sit for them so I don't wind up living in my rubaru.
