Footprints on the Moon

Man, it sure seems like all the interest rates are heading in the wrong direction! My credit card interest rates keep creeping up through no fault of my own, and the interest rates on my savings accounts are dropping like rocks. When I signed up with ING, they had a 3.0% interest rate, and they’re now at 1.65%. Recently, I decided to sign up for an account with FNBO Direct who was advertising a rate of 2.60%. By the time my account was fully opened, it was at 2.40 (sorry to all the current customers, the rate drop is clearly my fault!). I hadn’t planned on chasing a good interest rate, but with the way things are going, today I withdrew my car insurance money from the ING account and will send it over to FNBO to wait until that bill is due. I try not to spend a lot of time worrying about the economy because all I can do is all I can do, you know? But I still can’t help but wonder where it stops…

March, huh? Hard to believe, but here we are. I’m wiped out. Hopefully I don’t look as tired as I feel! I feel like I’ve been on the go all weekend, probably because I’m usually a bum on the weekends.

Friday night was a “special” party at Janette’s and we all had a great time, and a lot of jello shots. The only thing that could have made it better would have been NOT having to get up at the butt-crack of dawn Saturday morning for mandatory training at work.

Of course, then I also volunteered to take an extra shift this morning too. It was an easy day, unbelievably quiet and boring, but being at work on both Saturday and Sunday sure does make me feel like I haven’t had much of a weekend! But hey, can’t beat the 12 hours of overtime that will look very nice on my next paycheck. I’m looking forward to making that credit card payment!

Now I’m just waiting for Dad to call because he’s supposed to come pick up my old cell phone tonight, and I’m waiting for my work uniforms to finish drying so I can switch over the laundry. I’d still like to take a shower before bed tonight!
