Have skipped gazillions of posts. Back from our trip to the NYC and environs. Got to go to a gorgeous, intimate wedding in a cool private club (The Lotos Club--Mark Twain was a member!), dinners with several friends and with family, and lots of catch-up. It was a great trip, and after getting up at 4:30 am to catch the plane back, I am wiped. Not, however, too wiped to say Hello, Buffistas!
Lorne: Back in Pylea they used to call me "sweet potato." Connor: Really. Lorne: Yeah, well, the exact translation was "fragrant tuber" but…

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Is having a graduation on a weekday a regular thing?
I remember attending a Friday evening graduation. Not quite a weekend, but inconvenient for anyone trying to attend from out of town.

Our wings are not tired.
It's an ok Tuesday here. Poured rain, which is a good thing. I got no personal issues with the day, but it is still in trouble with me for being unkind to my friends. Back off Tuesday!
Sophia, passing some Credit~ma along to you. I just found out today that ours is much higher than expected. Color me surprised. Whee!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh yeah, I meant to say this -- I think the main thing landlords care about, credit-wise, is do you pay your rent and do you make enough money. I don't think they actually care about when you pay your other bills, unless you are completely out of the realm of responsible bill-payer who sometimes gets in a little trouble.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I am hoping this is the case. I have never been even LATE with my rent my whole life, but I have been late with credit cards and also forgot to pay my car insurance long enough that it got cancelled and I had to have it reinstated. And I have also (for the same reason of stupidity) been late for parking tickets.

After my landlord made a couple of comments obliquely pointing out (correctly) that I'm in a lower income bracket than most of my neighbors, I made a point of mentioning to the building manager that rent always comes first each month before I even look at other bills.

This is me, except without the car, and I've always been OK as long as I made enough money.
Good luck with the wonderful apartment!!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
It sounds like I have a similar or worse credit history than you do, Sophia, and I just passed a credit check for the apartment I moved into this month. So you probably have nothing to worry about.
Though I will admit, I worried until I knew I'd been approved.

I can't help but be nervous anytime I know I'm being checked. I got jumpy when I was just getting my laptop at Best Buy- when I got the car I thought I'd chew my nails off.
