so we're officially home owners now as of Monday. it feels the same, i'm not at all concerned with the fact that we are now an additional $143,000 in debt. eh, it's just a number. :) the big "full steam ahead!" idea of starting on the little inexpensive improvements has fallen by the wayside for now. due to a series of massive mis-communications, we found ourselves paying three times the amount at closing that we were planning to pay. but that's ok, it seems as though we have plenty of time.
please pray for my womanly parts - i have started tracking my basal temps this month (a fascinating thing!!!) and conditions are perfect for the blessed event, it's just up to God now and i hope we're all on the same page!!!
work is ok. we had our super-lame holiday party yesterday. as expected, it was indeed super-lame. however everyone else in the company got the afternoon off yesterday but a couple others and i had to work so we are taking the afternoon off today. (you see clearly that i am hard at work for the few hours today that i AM actually at work, as i update my blog.) i am going to try to finish some christmas shopping with my friend Valerie. i dont think i'll be able to go all out as i was planning to do because my company is retarded and promised us our bonus checks would be given out yesterday and then today told us that they would come on the 18th. and considering that i had to go a good $200 in the red on my checking account to pay for the above mentioned closing costs, and i have nto yet paid my portion of the bills for the month, i will have to tone it down a smidge. (or just use my visa more, which is probably the likely of the two) grr. i'm sure thankful for my good credit!
so i hope everyone is doing well and staying warm. we have used our fireplace a couple of times and have finally figured out how to do so without creating the flash back that almost catches our clothes on fire! go us! (fyi - open the floo and barely turn on the gas when trying to light it.)
life is one big learning experience! :)
