May. 30th, 2003 01:05 pmThoughts thoughts... Today I have decided not to be as workaholic as I've seemed lately. Because, well, I have all next week for that. Why wreck today? And my mood is suddenly lighter...
So I received this email from my school loan place. They've decided to lower my interest rate by 1 percentage point, because I've somehow managed to make 48 consecutive payments on time. 48. 48 of them. And I still owe xxxxx, (where xxxxx translates into 'quite a bit'). It's pretty sad, really. But somehow it amuses me. I wonder if I'll feel this way about the mortgage after 4 years. Ah, the shackles of financing big things, it's what has made me into the productive responsible being that I am now. Geez, I can't even type that with a straight face...
Anyway, I've successfully determined that yes indeedy, I can use the wheels for my kayak without it turning into a horrid nightmare where the wheels turn and then fall off and the kayak lands with a thump and a scratching noise on the ground. I have to remember 1. not to go as fast as I might like to and 2. not to yank the kayak up curbs. I think that last one is really where my issues came in before. Now I'm all set to go to the beach and go surfing. Though I'm not really sure where I'll leave the wheels when I'm in the water. Hmmn. I suppose they might fit inside. I have a vision of them being lost forever in the ocean like my scrunchies though.
In other news, I still can't find a good pic of a doozer (ahem, like from fraggle rock) for an icon, though I do have a fabulous coypu (courtesy
dangerdean, he rocks!). Edie!!! Help!!!
