I paid off 2 small credit cards today. It felt so great! Sometimes, though I don't understand it, I think the rain motivates me. Mostly you hear that people feel tired or lazy when it rains. Apparently I work the opposite way. I feel tired and lazy when it is bright and sunny out. I was in a cleaning mode this morning...and it feels good to have some much needed tasks completed.
I can't do laundry. Kris said so, so I will "obey." He went down last night to put some whites in (he needed socks). He came back up and said that I couldn't go down there and do laundry...that he would do it. Confused, but thinking "cool" I asked him why. Well...we've had grasshoppers in the basement since we moved in. Apparently, some of them decided to mate and then have babies...right in the middle of the pile of clothes that was down there. It should teach me to keep up with the laundry...but I doubt it will. So, Kris was telling me how gross it was, and I was thinking "well, it can't be as bad as the cockroaches we had at the college apartment." I asked him how bad it was and he said he wasn't sure but he had seen at least 10 small baby grasshoppers! Yuck! So, he knows me too well and knows that it will be a bad situation for me to go down there and see them all hopping around. We need to spray down there.
I picked up a Spanish review book/workbook at Borders Monday night and have started going through it. I am so excited!! I have so much fun when I am "involved" in any way with Spanish. What I really want/need is someone hispanic to come and live with me for a while so that I can get some practice conversing. It's fine to go through grammar and learn vocab...but it would be so much better to actually be able to practice speaking on a regular basis. Anyone know how I can get someone to come live with me? I'm serious. Oh I know...Jenn Reedy, you just come live with me for a while! :) You should be pretty good with the Spanish by now!
I still need to call a lady about life insurance. I wish these things didn't keep coming up. I had made a budget that was going to be really good for Kris and I for after we pay off our debt. I included everything, or so I thought. Until today, I didn't realize that it did NOT include life insurance. There are 5 of us...and we have none at all. I think I am going to do the Gerber thing with the kids...should be pretty cheap for them at least. Maybe I'll do that today.
