The weird things that make me smile.

I love paying the bills. I know that sentence alone is enough to consider your friendship with me, but I do. You would think chocolate or vacations or proving I'm right would be on the top of the list (they are all VERY close!) but I just absolutely love paying bills. If you slap a budget in front of me, I am in heaven! You would think I would go into accounting or something, but eh. That isn't fun when you HAVE to do it.

I am such a ginormous nerd, I have a 5 page spreadsheet with our finances in them. I could show you our checkbook from two years ago. I know, I know... what a loser, right? But when you pay your bills you get to forget about paying them for another month AND you get to see how much LESS principle you have - it gives me a giddy feeling. (I exclude paying a mortgage from this entire feel good post. That is just depressing since only like $0.03 goes to our principle every month.)

The other kind of bills I don't like paying are the ones that you didn't know about and didn't know to plan for. Just BAM! There it is in your mailbox, staring back at you with it ominous return label. You kind of just grab the very corner of it with your fingernails and toss it on the table to sit for a while, pretending the whole time it isn't there. I hate those kind. They make me cranky.

But otherwise, since today is pay day, I am in a generally good mood. Especially since that stupid boat should be paid off shortly. Paying off a loan, now that gives me a real high.
