NoiseDesign is totally to blame for my renewed love of Chucks! And Plei gave me an awesome pair of hightop pink ones last time I was in Seattle that rock.
Also, my faith in myself is at least a little bit restored--they approved me for the loan! My payments are about $50 a month more than they are now, alas, but at least now I can pay off the DVC loan and get one step closer to getting that property in my name.
In Byron news, bendy cat has been given a new HUGE lampshade collar to stop him from licking. This one is flexible, so he should still be able to eat, but he looks like a really pissed off flower.
