Yay, Frank! Isn't that a great feeling?!
Willow: Something evil-crashed to earth in this. Then it broke out and slithered away to do badness.
Giles: Well, in all fairness, we don't really know about the "slithered" part. Anya: No, no, I'm sure it frisked about like a fluffy lamb.

Isn't that a great feeling?!
It is. It was also great calling up the credit union for the balance and finding out it was less than I expected (I'd been paying a bit more than the designated monthly payment since the beginning).
I've got about 10K in other debt to pay off, and then I am debt-free! This just freed up a little more money towards that cause.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Good for you, Frank!!
I am on hold with the bank, waiting to see if I can get some Turkish lira. Good times.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Right on, Frank!!!
ION, I'm loopy on migraine meds, and here is one example of how it's manifesting: I edited the phrase "activities of daily living" as "activities of Faily" living.
And then I started wondering: what would an activity of faily living look like? Using your computer's CD tray as a drink holder? (FAIL.)

Yay for paying off debt!

I am not a positive thinker.
I am only in the sense that I'm positive bad things are going to happen.
I think I embraced that old saw "an optimist can never be pleasantly surprised".

Punishingly Intricate
Woohoo paying off debt! My brother is selling a nearly new car that he offered me for a good price but not one I could take on w/out a loan. I declined and am hoping my car will last another couple of years (at least until after the freaking condo sells). I'm totally spoiled for not having car payments!
I'm not exactly a negative thinker but I'm a worrier (who tries to be positive).

People tend to accuse me of being unreasonably optimistic, but really it's because I've already considered the worst case scenario and figured out a workaround.
