What's Happening...


Ironies and other minor annoyances of life:

I had to get a high-interest-rate loan to fix a car I bought off someone because I figured a used as-is car was the only thing I could afford since cars from a dealership require payments of like $300 a month but now I'm paying $300 for my loans AND it turns out my credit rating is above-average and I didn't know it. (So I could have financed a vehicle OR gotten a much better loan- either way, it'd be better than this)

I didn't buy an MP3 player with my tax return because I figured it was too much money but I've spent more than that already on things that have dissappeared without a trace.

Anyway, today is a new day. I won't allow myself to get super bogged down with worries, especially of the financial variety. God has provided for me and I am sure I can count on Him to continue doing so.

I can't believe I'm sitting here writing about nothing when I should be reading one of the hundreds of books I own but have yet to read. I should either do that or listen to music since I am so willing to shell out hard-earned cash for CDs.

Speaking of working hard, I had a great day today just because the other admin assistant wasn't there. She treats me like a redheaded stepchild and I can't stand it. It makes the work environment tense when it should be a breeze.

    I don't know Kathy...you prob'ly don't want my advice. I'm a dunderhead! Look what I did- bought a used car with transmission problems!!!
    But I hear those "certified pre-owned" cars are pretty good. My friend Lydia got a really good little Honda she loves. Try that maybe? (She went to Penske off the 10FWY)
