Windfall
So many cool things have happened lately, I should take note of them:
- Negotiated a great deal on the house – the owners came down more than I thought they would
- Won a $500 gift certificate to Hom Furniture (talk about luck & perfect timing!)
- Got a call from my mortgage banker letting me know he got me a great, low rate (BTW – the feds lowered the interest rate a half point after I talked to him – it might be even lower now, I’m meeting with him tomorrow to find out)
- My proposal for a North Dakota Governor’s School of Information Technology was accepted by NDGS Executive Board
- I was named the new coordinator for the NDGS-IT program (woot!)
- I was able to help a friend save hours of labor with a couple quick UNIX commands, thus furthering my alpha-geek status :)
- Got a call from my friend Chris Grant and had a good “catchup” chat
- Went to the Osgood Hornbacher’s and got some of the Sage Derby cheese I like
- When I came out of Hornbacher’s there was one of the largest, most perfect rainbows I’ve ever seen
- The weight loss trend has continued – I’m down almost 30 pounds since May. Bad thing about this is that I’m going to have to go buy new jeans
- Tons of friends have come out with offers of boxes, vehicles, and labor to help with the move
- Hopefully (not 100% yet) found a good home for my kitty
- Obama is way up in the polls
Much to be happy about!
