Unusually...what? Financial update: OK, I locked into a 5.875% 20 year fixed rate mortgage. I dropped a point in APR, dropped some years, and kept my payment within $20 of my current payment. Woo! I wanted to do a 15 year, but that was a bit too ambitious. The payment would have been $200 more, which I'm not comfortable with at this point*. I even had to pay about an eighth of a point to keep a rate that we'd talked about in the morning. By that evening, it had gone up. Scary. I also locked my HELOC rate at 7.8%. Most of the HELOC and home equity loan rates were around that, anyway. I'll keep looking into other alternatives on that one. I also applied for a 0% intro, 7.9% fixed rate credit card with no annual fee and cash back. The only thing is that cash back is only received if you spend $2500. That's not likely to happen, if I can help it. Incentives like that weren't a priority, anyway. * and now the Allegra rebate program has been "suspended indefinitely." Fucking hell. $50 copays suck. I still haven't heard from my sister. I sent her a card for her birthday today. In it I just said that we met almost a year ago and barely know each other, and I'd like to change that. I also said that I'd still like to get together with her, but only if she wants to. We'll see what happens. I'm working at home today since I'm taking Friday off. I had to turn on the heat because it was 64 degrees in here. Hmm, reminds me of the conference room at work. I'll have to be sure to wear a long sleeved shirt when I walk the fat dog today. And the ridiculous looking earbags. Hey, they work. I thought about just wearing earplugs, but I want to be able to hear if someone is sneaking up on me so's I can pepper spray them. The dog would certainly be no help. Both of these are from Tickle.com: Christy, your most unique quality is that you're unusually Conscientious OK, that was a decent one. 'Unusually conscientious,' 'unusually reliable,' eh? The Body Image Test Emphasis mine. Huh? Something went wrong with that one.
