Days 3-5

[coffeesnob318]

Today is the last day of my 5-day weekend. I do not want to go back to school tomorrow.

My car is making funny noises. It giggles when I start it. Just a rapid succession of "hehehehehehe" and then she roars to life. Methinks the starter or the alternator are going out. Yippee. And during tax season. I desperately need a bank loan.

Saturday, the parents came down and took me out to eat. We were going to go see the Passion movie, since they live out in the middle of nowhere where there is no theater, but Mom decided that she'd rather meet Micah. So Margat, Jeff and Micah came to visit so that they could see them. My mom got all squeaky when she met Micah. It was cute. We talked a lot and stared at the baby a lot. And ordered pizza. I still have a piece left, and I've been snacking on it for the last two days. Mmm...flying tomato...stuffed pizza...more cheese than I should eat in a year...mmmm...

Today has been great. I awakened to the sound of a UPS guy tap-tap-tapping at my door. When I opened it, there was this huge Gevalia box, and of course, this can only mean good things. Thanks, bubbles79!

Then I watched the View and talked some of my creditors down on the APR. I shaved a cumulative 34.96% off three cards! Then I went to Victoria's Secret. You know. To celebrate. Picked myself up one of those new full coverage shaping bras. OK. Two of them. But I'm allowed - I've been so good - this is the first time I've been to VS in three months. And my $10 off card expires at the end of March. The manager hugged me and told me that she'd missed me. Perhaps I go there too often - what do you think?

Your car and my car must be linked in some way... Mine likes to go clunk-clunk-clunk when I stop on a bumpy road or when I take a bump particularly hard. Then the dash lights go out on those hard bumps, too, but then they come right back on. I'm afraid to take it in, but it's my sanity riding in that car...

34.96%! WOW! You go birthday girl! (*goes off to look at credit cards...*)

You are ever so welcome! If you like it, want more, want something different... just let me know. I got you covered. ;)

Congratulations! I am impressed with your impressive haggling skills. Wish I had some.

New stuff at Victoria's Secret? Hmm... No, you do not go there too often. The rest of us just don't go often enough. :)

I have been tempted recently to go back to Gevalia just to get that coffee pot. And now I don't have to! *mwah*

34.96%? Dang, girl, how'd you manage that?

*impressed*

One of them said that I "sound honest." Which I am. But I'm not sure what he meant by that. I think he might have been flirting, because he said it in that Joey from Friends "How you doin'?" way.

Can you charm your way into a lower interest rate for me too? I'll send you my credit cards. *g*

*giggles* she actually hugged you?

[coffeesnob.livejournal.com]

Yes. She's very touchy feely, that one. It was weird the first time she did it, but I'm resigned to it now. In fact, I kinda miss her when I go in and she's not there.
