New Mortgage Payment

October 19th, 2010 at 05:21 pm

Our new mortgage is $289.13/mo less now with the refi(saving $126/mo on P/I) and the lower property taxes. WhooHoo!

------------------------------------

This past weekend my family (DD and DH) decided we needed some new Halloween decor for the yard. They picked out three foam tombstones, a strobe light and I picked out a string of purple lights. We also bought some cool window clings that look like bloody hand prints and splotches.

And we bought a costume for DD. Spent $70 on everything. DD bought a wig for her costume with her own money for $9. I tried to talk her out of it, but it's hard when it is HER money she has the choice. I told her we won't be carrying it around on Halloween night if she gets too hot wearing it. She still bought it. Oh well..

-----------------------------------

Crazy fall weather here. Last week we were using our AC and Sunday we had the heat on. I am kind of feeling ready for the cooler fall weather. Snuggling inside on the weekends with coffee and football. Smile 'Course right now I'm watching a lot of baseball - GO GIANTS! I told DH this morning that I might need to call off work today and just stay home to watch game 3 playoffs. And do laundry!! (Always have laundry to do. Wink ) I'll be going to work soon. My boss will have the game on the radio in his office so I'm sure I'll catch the important parts.

------------------------------------

Would love to catch up on all your blogs now, but I have got to get caught up on the checkbook register. My budget is current, but the checkbook is behind!! I can't remember the last time I was so lax. Will take care of that right now while little DS is taking his little AM nap. Such a good baby!

    At the Halloween "store"..You know the ones that crop up just for Halloween...It was a sheet with two hand prints and splotches and splatters too. $2. And we can use them again and again. Smile

    Our DD just made little strings of paper pumpkins to decorate the apartment door, but I think it will just lead to some questioning glances, because none of our neighbors will know what is going on (we live overseas). Still, she loved doing it, and it gave us some insurance of keeping things a little festive... if we did the fake blood hand over here, somebody would call the cops. Wink Jerry
