Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

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).

Punishingly Intricate

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.

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

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.

Grace is grinning so much!! I mean, I love seeing Noah all smiley, too, but I don't remember seeing Grace beaming like that! They're both so cute that I, too, am dedder than ded.
