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.
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.
Of course, I'm preferentially posting the grinnier photos, but she is definitely got a few more grins in her these days. Possibly some teeth soon, too.
t minus 3 hours for this job. whee.
Whoo! Go out with a bang? Or just run like hell?
Ooh, that's exciting, msbelle!
