Happy Leap Day peoples!

Congratulations Juliana and Martin!

Hec, given that Juliana hasn't said anything outside of locked posts, I really don't think you had any right to say that here.

That being said, I also took the day off to go to a wedding.

I ordered slipcovers for two chairs that I love, but do not like the upholstery. And I am paying bills. Not exactly the shopping spree I want, but much more responsible. In a week and a half I will be back to credit card zero balance. ANd I paid off a year's worth of cell phone bills to the parents and made next month's mortgage.

I hope to be in a position (cash saved up to pay in full) in 2 months to get some work done on the house. Then maybe 2 more months and we can take a long-weekend fake vacation to see some familiy in IN. Then (not that I am a planner or anything) I can have saved enough to do an all cash Christmas.

Oh, hey, speaking of planning, would any Buffistas be interested in using my US Open Tix (2 seats for 9 sessions)for a NYC Labor Day weekend vaca? I cannot swing going up there this year no matter how badly I want to, but I want to keep my reserved tix. email me if you think you might want them or if you know someone who might and I will get you full info. Ticket costs for, I think, 9 sessions is about $1000.

I'm sorry, it didn't seem like something she was keeping secret. Nor did she indicate in her announcement that she wanted others to keep it secret.

She shouldn't have to.

I think the fact that she didn't talk about it herself here is sort of a clue. But that said, I've already listened to "Going to the Chapel" this morning.

ita, I'm so sorry about the pain this morning.

msbelle, go being responsible! Also slipcovers. I need one of those for the sofa. Dumb cats. And kids, honestly.

I would suggest not scooping someone else's news, just on general principles.

ION, I'm looking at the adult ed center here and thinking about food classes. Each of these is about the same amount of money for a single session, so I can't decide: Pairing wine and cheese, Mexican street food with a local restaurant chef, or making dinners for your freezer. Obviously the last one is the most practical. But maybe I should do the more fun one??

I think the Mexican street food one sounds fun. And also practical! You could always freeze that stuff, too, if you wanted.

It is POURING rain here. Blech.

Ugh, I'm going to have to head home - my migraine is messing up my vision enough that I can't resd text to style it as I'm pouring pages. I hste that I'm going to blow a deadline on the last dsy when I was on track to meet it as of last night. (but I'd hate turning in dozens of psges with parts of words randomly italicized a lot more...)
