awesome Kathy.

congestion of death = my head

I have over 2000 unfiled emails in my inbox. poor noodle who is getting this dumped on her. I am trying to clean up, but only so much I can do. I have been cc'd on almost every client/app development/issue email for 1.5 years.

I was surprised to see Boston come in at 10. I've lived in both cities and Boston/Cambridge is definitely more readerly.

The fact that Minneapolis and St. Paul are #1 and #3 leads me to believe they must be referring to Boston proper and not the metro area.

That's excellent, Kathy! I'll be able to close out a card when I get around to writing checks this weekend, which is exciting, even if I just put part of it on another card (low interest balance transfer!).

I am reading this list of 2007 buzzwords, and i'm not sure if that many of them have made it into the common vernacular.

And i have to say that there's already a phrase for this:

kinnear v.

To take a candid photograph surreptitiously, especially by holding the camera low and out of the line of sight. Coined in August by Stephanie Pearl-McPhee of the Yarn Harlot blog when she attempted to take a photograph during an encounter with the actor Greg Kinnear at an airport.

I've always heard it called "shooting from the hip."

I don't even want to talk about my credit card balance. Waaay more than I am comfortable with.

Grad School killed my credit card. Well, in 2008 husband and I will pay off cards, again.

I've applied for a scholarship that would pay off about half what I owe. I'll find out in March if I got it. Worst part is I'm up against a really close friend. They've been giving it to 2nd time applicants, though, and this will be my second application. My friend can apply again for 2009.

Yeah, I haven't heard of a lot of those. Which makes its value somewhat diminished as something to point at when coworkers have never heard of "lolcat." Oh, Grant.

This is why I'm focusing on the good news of closing out the smallest card, not the larger picture.....

I think I will payoff 2 with my bonus and that will leave just the 0% one which I think I will roll over onto another 0% one in a few months. The plan is to have that one paid off in a year (maybe year and a half).

I just added "pay off credit card" to my 100/1001 days list thingy. and figured out how much i'd have to pay on it every week to have it paid completely in 1001 days from Jan 1. If I don't charge anything else on it. Seems a bit like an impossible goal for me!

I did not go to work today. I sound like Lauren Bacall with a sore throat, and there's a snow advisory for today.

I think I'm going back to bed as soon as I finish this yogurt.
