Mal ,'Bushwhacked'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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.
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.
I don't even want to talk about my credit card balance. Waaay more than I am comfortable with.
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.
Relatedly, I need to keep in mind that these are not my dream shoes, since that's dark brown and not black.
The only reason I was able to pay off the cards is that my uncle sold the family farm to developers a few years ago (perfect timing, what with the housing bubble burst) and decided that, since he didn't have any children living to inherit, he was going to set up a trust for all of his siblings and their children. I looked at the paperwork this summer and figured that, maybe, I might get a dividend of $50-100 this year. Well, it was significantly more than that! Not enough to retire on, that's for sure, but sufficient to pay off those two (rather low-balance) cards.
I have to be strong and keep about 40% of the dividend in my savings account for tax season, though.
lisah - do you get big tax refunds? using those on my cc is how i got chunks down.
More baby picspam: Noah keeping an eye on his food, yum!, food+bib=good. I'm so tall!
Gracie enjoying being snuggled.
I came to work today, and I was even on time.
I'm pretty sure that's going to be my major work related effort for the day.
DED. D.E.D. of the cuteness of Grace being snuggled. I mean, I was already on the way with the Noah pics, but now, I am kilt.
