HUMPDAY!

I went and test drove a Hyundai Tuscon yesterday. It was an interesting experience. But I decided that for right now an SUV is a little outside of my price range. Especially considering I still owe more than the trade-in value on my car. I may even wait until after our trip to Italy next year to buy a new car. I think E and I can tough it out for a little while longer.

My mortgage payment went up recently (I "bought down" my first two years, but have a fixed rate mortgage, so it will go up next year and stay fixed after that), and right now we're hurting for money. However, my parents put me on their cell phone family plan, so my cell bill will be more than cut in half. Awesome! I'm also thinking about extending out my Student Loans to a 17 year loan, at least until I get my next promotion - hopefully in January or February. Ah, the life of a home-owner/bill-payer...

On a happier note... IT'S HUMPDAY!!! And Shelley, Sarah, and I are going out for Pina Colada's tonight. We earned it after all the hard work we put in this weekend. It's gonna be a good day.
