Lately, every time I think about blogging something, I think, "Meh. I'll do it later." Then later slowly evolves into "Oh, it's too late for that," or "Meh. Fuck it." I'm not really suffering writer's block, just a profound aversion to sharing.
It happens.
So here are a couple of things I never got around to posting this month. Better late than never. Right?
More proof of what a procrastinator I am. Earlier this spring, Robbie asked me if I'd like to write something for Womenfolk. A few months later, I finally got around to doing it. If you'd like to see me pretend to be a music critic, check out my review of Amy Ray's new album.
While you are there, check out Robbie's new site design. His work is always flawless. I bow to his design greatness.
Two weeks ago, I called my final creditor in my debt management program to see if my last payment to them cleared. After I confirmed it did, I called the debt management program and reported my zero balance thus completing my five long years (plus a few months) with their program to become debt free. FIVE LONG YEARS.
After she updated her system, she read from a script, "Congratulations on completing the program." My response? "YAY!!!!! Go me!" That made her laugh and I could hear her smile. After I got off the phone with her, I did my OMFG I'M FINALLY DEBT FREE dance.
A friend of mine came over to jump my dead battery. When I popped the hood open, I saw schmootz all over my engine from the radiator. I took my car to the shop and was given a list detailing the problems with my death trap on four wheels. Seven hundred dollars later, all was well.
So I got to enjoy being debt free for about three whole hours. Ugh.
