I caught her on a park bench, making out with a *chaos* demon! Have you ever seen a chaos demon? They're all slime and antlers.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Is there anything better than realizing that it is Sunday, instead of Monday, so it is okay to go back to sleep?

I think not, at least when you have a cold.

Happy birthday Jess! I hope it's turtletastic, or possibly turtleriffic.

We've got Kristin and Emily coming over for waffles at noon. Sweet!

hivemind question - do people keep bills for credit cards, electricity, phone, etc. once paid? if so, for how long?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

msbelle, I am a pack. rat. when it comes to bills. I even keep all my receipts and attach them to the credit card bills. I've actually been working on sorting old bills this weekend. Gods, what a lot of paper.

I know that they say to keep tax information for seven years, and that was the thumbnail I was following. I'm just getting to the point where I could be getting rid of seven-year-old stuff, hence the sorting.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I keep bills and stuff erratically.

I keep bills religiously, and once every few years I go through my files and throw out stuff.

I've been keeping a full year on bills.

I already keep all my tax stuff, but I am thinking with as much electronic billing as there is, that maybe only 1-2 months of bills would be ok.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I keep bills, filed when I get around to it. Since I pay taxes as a landlady, it's to my benefit to be able to account (and prove) that I've spent money on utilities. But even if I wasn't, I'd probably try to hang on to them, though now that I'm better about keeping track of stuff in Quicken, I have a good idea of how my historical expenses have run.
