That is the sound of the metaphorical shoe dropping. Told ya it would happen. It really isn’t aweful, just annoying - closing is not going the way I had hoped. We are moving the closing date to Tuesday, so we will have to make a house payment in July. And, closing costs seem to be higher than we were expecting. And I just paid June’s mortgage, so now I’ve got to try to stop that payment. Knew it was coming.
Today has been a pretty good day. At work I interviewed for an open Business Analyst position. The interview had been postponed twice because the manager has had bronchitis. All in all it went well and I am definetly in the running. Wish me well.
And, even more exciting, I just wrote the last check for my student loan! That’s right, I have officially paid off the $11,000 I borrowed and I did it one year early. I don’t think the realization will hit me until next month.
Speaking of, next month should be interesting. I won’t have a student loan payment to make and we will be closing on our mortgage refinancing so we won’t be making a house payment. Things are looking good at the moment. [knocking on wood]
Let’s just hope that the other metaphorical shoe doesn’t drop.

Why Yes, That is a Coin in My Pocket…
Then yesterday I received one of those bulk mailers with checks, yard products and one special item from the Fairfield Mint:
Be sure to look at the full spread (so to speak). I particularly like the “hand carving” and the caption. I feel lucky just getting the ad.
High school is so much cooler today than when I was there. Check out what students at Sarah’s school get to do.
