I've enlisted my robot underling to battle my dust bunnies, leaving me free to putter around on the interwebs.
Turnips are pretty sweet, msbelle, so my first instinct would be to add salt & pepper.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

Good for you, JZ. And even aside from future money impact, doesn't it feel good to have done something about it all?

And YAY JZ for the debt consolidation!
Meanwhile, I've transferred the entire balance of one card onto another (with a 0% interest offer on balance transfers for something like 6 months) so instead of 2 medium-sized debts to pay off, I've got one pretty big one. And I cut the paid-off card in half so I can't use it again.
I think I'm going to talk DH into doing the same thing with our 2 shared cards. (Though we won't be cutting the Discover in half because it's useful for things like car rentals and airline tickets where we can use the included travel insurance.)
Unfortunately, our two biggest expenses are the mortgage and daycare, and not in that order. And there's fuckall we can do about either one. (Well, unless my boss continues to ramp up her insanometer and I quit in a fit of rage, which would take care of the daycare costs. Of course, we'd then be without health insurance and half our income...)

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
YAY JZ!
I am glad the playdate finally got there, msbelle.

'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"
Most excellent, JZ!
Which reminds me, I should check to see if the Amazon-branded card I switched over to this summer is going to pay me more merchandise credits now that the month has turned over....

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
And even aside from future money impact, doesn't it feel good to have done something about it all?
So good. So crazy good.
I'm off now, to mail Gracie's clothes to Kat and see if Matilda and I can find anything for the Zmayhem stockings.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
We have snow! I'm thinking today is a good day to stay in.
I should spend my day with Quicken and iCal.

Dad gave me a Meyer Lemon from his tree (one of the first) and I don't know what to do with it exactly . Does anyone have vegetarian suggestions for a single meyer lemon?

and then I went to the cafe at 8 - I left there at 1145. I did run an errand. Someone should clean the house - and since DH is in Den ver ( but will be home for dinner ) the house cleaner has to be me or the cat.
