Is she caught up on the freaking mortgage yet? Or will you get the oven, only to get the boot the next week?

We drove to College Station, had dinner, and have already returned to Houston. We did the easy route--Boston Market stuff pre-ordered. Got turkey and ALL the fixin's and it was very good.

The payment on our 2400sq.ft. home here in Houston on the 15year note was $1,075.00. Yes--I typed that correctly. 4BR/2.5BA/wet bar/upstairs library/2 car garage.

And if it were in california, it would be $2500 or more a month. And guns you and I both own would get us years in San Quentin.
Just another reason we're all glad we don't live there.

I've got wr0k tomorrow. 
I'm the only person who really works with the software I work with, but I do have one backup person who can fill in on the easy shit when I'm out. One of us has to be there during business hours. We both can't be gone. Tomorrow is not a holiday at the state.
He requested tomorrow of.
I'd like to stay home, but that's OK, cause I got time off for Xmas, so I'll have a longer vacation anyway. He gets a 4 day weekend, I'm getting a 6 day vacation in less than a month.

I had left the lid off the well pit three weeks earlier and failed to turn on the 100 watt sodium vapor lamp that I usually burn in there in cold weather and there must have been a really cold snap; two of the pipes were burst and the pump casing was cracked from having been frozen.
So we spent Thanksgiving Day packing up everything and winterizing the cabin. Just got home. No time to prepare our big meal today so we'll do that tomorrow here at home.
So happy ****ing Thanksgiving.  |
Bummer. Frozen pipes and pumps sucks. We had a well cover break and fall in. Didn't notice it until I saw water flowing out it.  Pump, few pipes and the well pipe were all burst. $2000 in repairs and we abandoned it two years later. Never was a good producer. We got rural water run in there instead.

we don't have these discussions, either
yes, pretty much agree on frugality
all the big money purchases are left to me, anyway, I guess it keeps the guilt levels low
we do not always agree on whether particular things are needed, that's where we each buy what we want - Michael usually has a harder time to get over his stinginess than I would 
there is nothing, really, that we truely NEED (that's why I am so pissed that these 100-year discounts are happening NOW )
