I totally brought Steph's rule about no abbreviations unless it's in the piece five times to my staff meeting -- did I say that yesterday? We liked it!
Woo!!! One person CAN make a difference!

Got my annual bonus this morning and have already sent off the entire thing to credit cards and cabin mortgage. All of which is good but still a little deflating.

OK, "credit cards" and "mortgage" do not sound like fun things to suck up your bonus, but "cabin' is pretty good!

Last year's bonus went to the down payment on the cabin, which was a lot more exciting. But I'm trying to pay it off within the 5-year ARM period so it does feel good to take a chunk off of that. I got a good deal, so it should be doable. More than half of the monthly payment is the property tax escrow.
But I do still have my tax return to do something fun with. Unless I get the billpay urge again.

Oooh, "paid off cabin" is very exciting!

I sympathize with the billpay urge, brenda. I'm trying to get my credit card paid off so I can buy a "new" car next year. It means I'm really throwing down on it every month, but I'm making payments double what I want for car payments, so I know I can afford the car payment when it finally starts!

Go Sail! That sounds very sensible.
Right, can't wear slippers to work. At least I realized before I got out the door this time.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Sail, are you busy this weekend? I'm probably going to Madison to celebrate my birthday with a few friends--wanna join us? Sounds like Friday night and maybe Saturday?
(Non of my non-buffista friends seem to be cat-herders, so we're late with the planning.)

Love to, tommy! I've even got a place for you to crash, if you need it. My roommate is off to California for a couple weeks; you're welcome to use her room.
