Lots of Nothing Updates

Quick updates:

1)  Washer.  The part arrived yesterday.  The repair guy can't come until 9/11.  So now we wait.

2)  Hot Water.  G-man reset the controller, and all seems better now.  Hoping it was just a fluke thing, but we both know that if this problem starts happening on a more regular basis....more intervention may be needed.

3)  Closet.  G-man hasn't touched it since Tuesday.  I am hoping tomorrow he will get another coat of spackle on, and MAYBE by Saturday we can repaint the area.  Even if that is the case....it will be 9/11 before he will be able to reinstall things.  Meanwhile, it is oh so much fun digging through piles to find what you need.


In other rambling items.....

Budget.  This weekend I will work on the budget.  The realization that there are items that are are lacking on the budget means moving things around.  I am also going to call Verizon and see if the "share everything" plan will help us save anything (we are low data users, and most places we are have WiFi). 

I am trying to keep in mind that our taxes will probably change in February or March.  Since we adjusted our taxes based on what we have paid this year, I have a feeling we have some "extra" coming out right now to make up for the past months.  Once we do our taxes, we will have a better idea of what needs to come out (and will have 10 months to adjust for it, not 5).  So the budget will be a 6-month one...with reevaluation at the end.

Catch-up.  G-man gets 3 paychecks in October, so I am planning on using the majority of the "extra" check to play catch-up on the CC that got nasty this past month.  We have "half" our mortgage payment direct deposited into our savings account per paycheck, so by default...we will have 3 of those.  We don't use the grace period for our mortgage, so we can use it as soon we get it.  And that bad boy is becoming a payment as soon as it hits.

Home Office.  Needs some TLC.  I am still not happy with it's function.  I would like to put a line item in the budget to save up for the materials I need to make this work.  I realize it will be a VERY small line item, but at least it will give me hope that I will get there.  I am also planning on putting the materials on my "Christmas" list.  Maybe a husband or child will "gift" me some!!  G-man always wants me to have things that are more "just for me" but I really want this pick me up for my office area.  I spend so much time working on the computer (between PTA, work I bring home, researching things....oh yeah, and finances!), I want a space that really jazzes me.  I started back in February with my makeover, but it hasn't gone much further. 

Bossy's room.   I still owe you all pictures!!!  Let me get the stupid closet fixed, and then I will reveal!

Did I miss anything????
