It’s the first day of spring – yay! We had a chilly but sunny day to celebrate it.
So, Today I:
- Got caught up on my grading (except for the physics test which they took today – it’s multiple guess so I should be able to get that done this weekend).
- Talked with Covington Savings & Loan (my bank) about refinancing my mortgage (I gave my current mortgage company first dibs, but I haven’t received word back from them in a week – guess they don’t want me to stay with them). 4.5% should be do-able and he suggested I check back each week while things in Washington are brewing – it might go down even more.
- Went to Applebee’s with a few coworkers and had a nice hour & a half chatting with them.
- Looked at netbooks at Staples – I still might get myself an Aspire One if I could just find a 6-cell Linux model, pref w/ SSD.
- Picked up some stuff at Walmart – including the inexpensive silica cat litter I was beginning to suspect I’d dreamed rather than purchased before. (Under $5 for 4lb – only thing cheaper I’ve seen is sold by Trader Joe’s – and they’re MILES away.)
- Had an ice cream cone from Cold Stone Creamery. Yum!
The new season is looking to be a good ‘un!
I’ve never eaten at Applebees, I’ve been looking for an excuse to go. It looks like spring here but doesn’t feel like it because there is a wind chill.
If Applebees ever offer their all-you-can-eat soup & salad lunch, I highly recommend it. You can mix & match the soups & salads. Today it might get up to the mid 60s – woot! (Then it’s gonna chill out again as we approach my spring break – of course.)
Sounds like you are getting along fine – you didn’t mention how much you miss your folks. I guess that’s just understood. We had sunny skies and temps in the low 70’s today, beautiful. Unfortunately I spent most of the time inside the hotel. Can you really get a refi for 4.5%? That is awesome. Do you know what 30 yr mortgages are going for? Perhaps we can get a new house after all. See you Monday night – your father is looking forward to Ohio and spending time at the lake. Hope the weather will accomodate. Love, MUM
