Good Weigh In

I weighed in today and I am down 2 pounds. It looks like I may finally be headed in the right direction. 23.4 pounds until new bras and underwear!

Not a Good Weigh-in Day

I went and weighed in today. I have gained another 2.4 pounds so now I have only lost 4.6. Ugh.

The good news is that I am feeling pretty motivated and back on track. I rejoined the gym and went on Monday and Tuesday and I've been eating on program. My mini goal is still 30 pounds with a reward of new bras and underwear.

Visa

Got the Visa statement a couple of days ago. The balance is now $8,630.77. So, if I took a year to pay it off right now, it would cost us 719.23 a month. That is down $6.68 from last time. Progress!

Nothing much is going on right now financially. I'm anxiously awaiting the end of the month so Ron and I can sit down and plot out the huge amount of money that he made last month. It's going to be so much fun!

In other news, my dad called me on Sunday. He is angry because he's been out of the country for about a month and I haven't kept in touch with him. Hmm. I am truly stymied as to what he is feels he is not getting from me. I feel like we have a good relationship. I'm looking forward to him coming for Christmas. Hopefully, he will be over his grump by then.

Robby is at orientation today for a job where you call in each night and see if you go to work the next day. It is in a warehouse in Fife. He has not had much luck with Monster so hopefully he will be able to get some money for hockey together this way.

House Payment Goes Up

I got the mortgate statement today and our house payment has gone up to $2,023.33. The reason for this is that our property value went up and so our taxes our higher. Our home is now tax appraised at $312,000. It really doesn't do us much good since we don't have any plans to sell it.

Our balance is now $254,381.05. So, sticking with my little game, if we were to pay it off in ten years from now, our payment would be $3,269.18. That's actually $86.52 MORE a month than the last time I figured this out which makes my game less fun than I thought that it was going to be. I figured it would go down each month. Hmph.

Ron is in Alaska. He left yesterday morning and gets home tomorrow night. It's not fun to have him gone on the weekends.

Robby left today for a hockey tournament in Portland. He has applied for six jobs but no bites yet.

Tomorrow I am taking Samantha to a birthday party. It is at Odyssey so I figure Owen and I can play while she parties.

Cody did not come home this weekend. He went to Arizona with Jennifer (and maybe Lance?) to see her family. I'm glad he gets to do some traveling but I do miss him.

Owen is a tired mess, so I must run.
