Woo, solvency!

Yesterday, Tasha and I got a check for our equity for our Pekin house!  Since we refinanced two years ago and the market was less than great, it wasn’t huge amount of money but it will offset a good portion of the cost of financing the new place in Colorado.

I officially started my Christmas shopping on 11/17… I think I might aim to do 90% of my Christmas shopping online this year, since hauling a big pile of presents to IL in December would be a pain.  I’ll probably order them and have them shipped to my parents house.

Finally with a break in the action, Tasha and I are going to listen to some classical music at the opening of a new exhibit at the Butterfly Pavilion near our house.  Not necessarily my cup of tea, but Tasha really wants to go so I’ll go look at some bugs and drink some complimentary wine.
