Movin' on up!
Bill and I just got home, from going out to dinner. While we were out, it started to rain. We are in the middle of our first major storm of the summer. This will help get the fire out, on the mountain.

On the downside, several hundred thousand tons of soil and ash will be rushing down the washes and I have two very wet, muddy dogs on my patio. Thunder and lightening don't bother them and they love to play in the rain.

Impatiently waiting for an email to (hopefully) finish up some banner designs that I've been commissioned to do. I have to go to bed no later than 1 hour from now, because I have to get up at like 5:30. *groan* I don't even get up that early for work! I really hope she emails me back soon. I'm losing attention span by the minute...

Oh yeah, and don't get me started on cars. Mine has been out of commission for about 2-3 months now. Just had to get hubby's realigned and found out it had been in a major accident before we got it, which didn't show up on the Carfax report.
So there is structural damage to the rear end which will cost approx. $1000 to fix. This on top of the rear main seal leak, which is another $1000 and was there when we bought than darn thing and the dealer conveniently forgot to mention. We still owe $9800 and the trade in value is about $6000, but hubby has now decided that HE needs a new car.
Guess me not even having one isn't as important as what he wants. That's what I get for marrying a Gemini!

One good thing about my money issue is that I just paid off my car. So there's an extra $200 in my pocket. Plus, since I took a new job I got a 50 cent raise for that and I just got a 75 cent raise just a week ago (long story with that one, but it was long deserved and I put up a helluva fight for it too!). Then, once I leave for the training program my pay will be bumped up to $32,000 a year. That's ALOT more than what I get paid now! Bad thing, I'll be moving to a city where the rent for a one bedroom apartment is $400! So, actually I'm not coming out that far ahead.

$400 a month for a 1 bedroom apartment is super cheap!

What I wouldn't give to pay $400 for a 1 bdrm apartment. Here in Los Angeles, a decent 1 bdrm runs you over $1000 a month, and it's really hard to make much more than $32,000 a year.

Shell, you're going to be doing well with that salary and rent range. I earned that amount, and paid between $400 and $500 for rent, and was able to save quite a bit of money.

And if your heart is set on that Durango, why not lease? That's what all of the management people do, I hear.

I used to always hang onto my cars after paying them off. I had my 4Runner for 9 years! As for that cherry red Escape...I had an Escape and I really liked it. One of my friends just got a GREAT deal on a used 2002 yesterday.

Getting ready for work, eating breakfast and surfing the forums. Don't you think having to be at work at 6 a.m. everyday is waaaaay too early?????
