atchives... April 2006

• 03/23/06 (9:56 PM): I love Sushi rolls. I can't get enough of them. Lydia and I decided to try Kyo in Geneva. They have a limited number of rolls, but they are good. Not as good as Plum Tree or Ambrosia. I think Plum Tree is my favorite so far. Next we want to try the House of Sushi in Rochester. Yum.

  It has been a big week for news. Cynthina called to tell me she is engaged! Then, today Mary texted me to tell me that her sister is in labor (and still is). Also, Burdette is pregnant! Crazy news!

• 03/20/06 (8:00 PM): Ok kids, time for your credit lesson. I recently attended a crash course in buying a home. I'm not ready. However, I did learn a little something about credit and thought I'd share. Your credit score is built on 5 things:

  35% Payment History: Paying your bills on time
  30% Amounts Owned: ratio: 30-35% of the balance of your card is best
  15% Length of History: How long you've had your credit cards
  10% New Credit: New credit cards
  10% Types of Credit: Loans vs. Credit

  You also can get three free credit reports a year by logging onto annualcreditreport.com. Which I did already know. You can get your credit score at that time for just $6.95. Do it! I didn't and now that I want to know what my score is, I have to pay $14.95. Bummer. A Good credit score is above 660, this will get you a prime rate on a loan. Now you know about your credit!

• 03/19/06 (9:43 PM): It snowed a crap load today! And the snow will be continuing through the week. Hey mother nature... it's spring tomorrow! Oh well, hopefully this is the last bunch before the warm weather rolls in. On another note, I saw "Failure to Launch" with Lydia tonight. It was pretty good. A feel good movie that I managed NOT to cry at. It's difficult for me, I know. "Eight Below" was a real tear jerker for me. Damn those dogs were cute. Any movie that tugs at the emotional heart strings is bound to bring me to tears, I just can't help myself. Tomorrow, I go back to work. Sigh.

• 03/18/06 (10:35 PM): A Special Happy Birthday wish goes out to my friend Lippa! Hope you are enjoying your day... luv ya man!

• 03/17/06 (8:25 PM): Happy St. Patty's day. I'm off to find some green beer... or maybe just some beer. I'm freakin' tired though, YAWN! Tomorrow afternoon I head to Ithaca. Sunday we have an event in Auburn... just in case you wanted to know. Thanks to everyone so far who has donated to my Relay for Life cause. As my Nana would say, you'll get a nice pink check next to your name when you go to heaven!

• 03/13/06 (6:30 PM): My company has joined Relay for Life, which is being held in Cayuga County this year on June 9-10, 2006. We raise donations up until that point and then we walk and camp all night. Team Designing Women is looking for your support! You can join our team, but what I'd really like is for you to make a donation. Visit: http://www.acsevents.org/faf/r.asp?t=4&i=152491&u=152491-122308245&e=532108520

  

• 03/13/06 (8:32 AM): Orion's birthday party was yesterday. He had so much fun running around with all the balloons. He loved the dump truck Lyd and I gave him. Here is a photo of the big 2-year old. He's got all the curls in the world! I actually got lots of hugs and kisses from him! He's getting so big!

  

• 03/06/06 (10:38 PM): I finally booked my flight to Alaska! What a pain it was! I was trying to use my free voucher to get there and back, which required several flights (grr). But, I'm going... here is my travel plans... not sure of what my layovers are in-between Rochester and Chicago... I forgot already... I'm going to be one tired and Jet lagged chick.

• 03/04/06 (6:28 PM): So, It's been a while. I've been better now. I was away all last week. I was house sitting for the boss. This was convenient because I had a very short commute to work. Just had to walk up some steps! I also had to dog sit, but Howie was a pretty good boy. I was searching through my emails looking for an address, but then realized that I when I reformatted, I lost them. Damn. I really should be maintaining a better system for information. One I can back up properly or one I have in a paper copy (paper, who'da thunk it?). Oh well, I suppose when I'm looking to send someone something, I'll just have to write them and ask for the info. I went to another Crunch game last night and they won! Here I thought I was bad luck for them because they always seem to lose when I go to their games. But they didn't lose this time! My last hockey game with the ladies in Skaneateles is tomorrow. Major bummer, I love playing!
