go go team lower interest rates. just got a 0% card and dumped some balances. now if I could just actually pay it off. current payment plan puts me 4 years away. Maybe a big chunk payment with tax refund will help.

Cindy, haven't heard anything else today, and have been too swamped with work to visit. Kat is still coughing, but it's less than it has been.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I just realized that I'll never get a 0% card offer again, due to the Fucking Identity Theft. (Or at least for the next five years or however long the hold I put on my credit reports lasts.)

Cindy, I have an element of that, though I'm mostly reformed. Truth to tell, what I do most of all is put things off until I have juuuust enough time to finish them. Partly a response to the perfectionist issue. In college, I had it down to an art. Given a deadline, I'd wait until I had just enough time to finish whatever project and get a good night's sleep. Only time I pulled all nighters was when I got so wrapped up in something, I wanted it done in one fell swoop.
I hatedhatedhated open ended exams (of which there were many) because they'd assign x consecutive hours to take the exam at some point in exam week and I'd usually finish in x/2. After much angsting, I learned to put it away once my brain was tapped and completely forget what I'd done in order to not lose my mind. I was the only person in the class to lobby for a shorter test interval. Actually, I was the only student my profs knew in 30+ years of teaching who requested such.
The one problem with my work is that they are very leisurely about assigning deadlines. So I get away with murder.

I wish I could give you my offers, Jesse. I get a buttload . I'm a really good credit risk due to the fact I'm really insanely freakish (it's almost to my detriment) about carrying debt and money issues, so I don't make them much money. They keep hoping I will. But then that'd be stealing my identity!

Now tagless for your comfort.
He got the recipe in Women's Health.
Did he call (no homo)?
BWAH! Nope. It was the last magazine left at the company's gym he hadn't read so he read it. Then brought it home for me because it had a fantastic article on goolie health. The headline page had a giant photo of a beaver. My inner 12 year old giggled while the outer adult read it and realized it was well written and chock-a-block with information on the vagina.

What is even happening?
Cindy, haven't heard anything else today, and have been too swamped with work to visit.Well, if you haven't heard anything, she's likely coming along normally. I'm sorry you're so swamped. Are you working on something worth the swampage?
Kat is still coughing, but it's less than it has been.
Poor Kat. I'm glad it's a little less, but still, what a tenacious bitch that cough is.
Truth to tell, what I do most of all is put things off until I have juuuust enough time to finish them.I do that a lot, too. I did pull all nighters sometimes, though. I couldn't do that, today.

Heh. Did your classmates try to kill you?

Popping in to announce that it looks like my treadmill workout is on a faster (no pun intended!) track than I thought--I added two minutes instead of just one to tonight's workout since I hadn't been on the treadmill since Saturday afternoon, and in 26 minutes, I went .91 of a mile. My goal was to get up to a 30-minute mile by the 23rd (my 41st birthday), and it looks like I'll be at a 29-minute mile by this weekend! Now to see if I can add more minutes without worrying so much about the speed. My next goal is to walk 45 minutes without stopping, and then I'll worry about speeding it up so I can go 2-3 miles in those 45 minutes.
Two months ago today, I was unable to walk more than five minutes at any speed without stopping and catching my breath.

Awesome, Kathy!
A literal beaver, Cashmere? That's pretty funny.
