Update
Mr. McG McMonkey McBean's second birthday was a HUUUGE success, thanks in part to:
Poppo: paying for new deck stain and misc other house "purtifiers" as well as cooking beans, slicing tomatoes, etc. Also for helping perform said "purtifiers."
Grandy: spending countless hours staining the deck and making her house purtiful, picking out awesome McG gifts, and being a fabulous hostess
Matt: being the "Grillman," who I believe is now a comic book superhero. Your costume shall arrive shortly.
The biggest birthday drawback was the notable absence of the Martin Clan. ;( Not the same without them!! We'll make sure next year's birthday isn't plagued with the Influenza Oinkus de Piggus.
I am currently sitting at the 'Ooshka's puter and waiting for the M. Ooshka to bring me a numma-licious S-bucks frappaccino which I'm pretty sure I spell differently- and incorrectly- each time I write it.
Also waiting for the mortgage guy to call me back- I left a message a little while ago. Hopefully, he'll get on that pretty soon so that we can get this show (if there's going to BE a show) on the road. I refuse to stay in my parents basement any longer than is ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY.
And, for anyone who is interested...I'll be working the next two days, two days off, then three days on. On my two days off, I'll be moving. It's going to be a rough week or so!
On a positive note, because I figured the mortgage guy was going to run my credit, I went online and did a free credit check myself. I was pleasantly suprised to find a big number 7-4-5 under my name. And some of the balances on the cards aren't reflective of payments made in the last month+. As of Saturday, I will have TWO cards completely paid off. Now mind you, these are the cards with the lowest balances and interest rates, but at least now I can dig into the higher interest rates. A time may come soon when I transfer one of the balances from a higher interest rate card to a lower one, but we'll see. The balance tranfser fee might equal what I would pay in interest which would then nullify the whole reason for transfering. I'll keep you all posted, as I know you are sitting on the edge of your seat in anticipation.
Ooooh- my Starbucks is here!
