it’s the end of june

Well, here it is. The day I thought I would pay my credit card off completely. It’s a somewhat sad day, because it’s not happening today. For a couple of reasons. One, I did not get my mileage check today as I thought I would (boss is on vacation). And two, I am embarrassed to say I used my credit card for a purchase of a birthday gift.  I did not foresee that purchase before I made my last credit card payment, therefore not having enough in my checking account to cover the purchase. And since I had it down to the penny, throwing $30 back into the mix creates a problem.  Another thing that is throwing things off a bit is the fact that my boss let me use my credit card (since I earn miles with Delta) to buy something for the office that cost around $4600.00. Needless to say, right now my credit card looks like I went on a mad shopping spree. Not that I would EVER spend money like that shopping, my mindset of spending has drastically changed (just ask my family) since I came back from Nicaragua. But that’s a blog for another day (one that is definitely festering in my heart at the moment)…Something good worth mentioning about my credit card situation at the moment is that I have paid off the remaining balance that was on the last statement. That means I shouldn’t have any finance charge for the next statement…definitely a good thing!

Because of the crazy exceptions at the moment, I’m not gonna update the numbers on this post. I’ll wait for next week when I will hopefully have a big, fat 0 to put up for Amex and some subtracting from the Student Loans. Until then, I think I might add a few posts dealing with some of the issues going on inside me. There’s so many thoughts on sooooo many things right now and I want to get them out. Maybe someone out there will even offer up their comments about what they think of it all. So look for a few somewhat “off the wall” posts in the next few days…and enjoy!
