there are few things in this world which can parallel the simple sense of satisfaction when you realize that not only are you on track with the aggressive, specific credit card debt-eradication program you designed for yourself (spending about seven intensive hours sitting in front of Excel on a gorgeous Sunday) … but you’re actually slightly ahead by a couple hundred bucks.

(hey, yeah, it’s not much… but i prefer debt < $13000 to debt > $13000. yaaay, less debt!!)

GO ME! I AM SO AWESOME! WOOHOO, ME!! i think i shall celebrate this by cancelling another regular expenditure, planting some (already bought) tulip bulbs in the front “yard,” doing some work around the house, making black beans for dinner in the crock pot for dinner (yum), doing some work on the colo, and maybe sacking out in front of the teevee knitting a little. i think this is an excellent plan. hooray for weekend!
