Of Course

Moments, and I seriously mean moments after we gave 2 extremely large checks to our contractor to start the payroll going before the loan money kicks in (a 203 loan is not a standard re-fi and has a bizarre-o structure) the transmission on Mike's Honda kicks the bucket.

Dude.

Not too huge of a problem, but the tight budget just got a little tighter for the near future. Still, looking forward to Donna coming over for dinner tonight- a great friend from high school (Go SpiFfy!). I plan to grill a steak marinated in garlic, red wine vinegar, soy, and dried spices from last year's garden, roasted white and sweet potatoes, salad and a tomato, caramelized onion and asiago tart.

The jelly beans are gone. Need to get more today...

  1. Oh duuuuude. That is so non-ideal. I mean, I can't believe we're not coming over for dinner. Oh, and the car thing sucks too.

  2. Not everyone understands "big family mentality". If we don't at least give the illusion of other people in our lives, we may get looks...not that that has ever stopped us before! More mackerel, anyone?
