He's of the colour of the nutmeg. And of the heat of the ginger.... he is pure air and fire; and the dull elements of earth and water never appear in him, but only in patient stillness while his rider mounts him; he is indeed a horse, and all other jades you may call beasts. ~William Shakespeare, Henry V

MONEY

I received the new keyboard for the laptop today so now I can blog without stars!! YEAH!!

Darren and I went out to eat last night in honor of my birthday on Thursday. We went to the Spirit Lake Casino to eat at The View and then put a few bucks in the machines, but when we got there, we found out that The View was not open on Sunday's or Monday's. We decided to go back into Devils Lake and eat at The Ranch after we gambled a bit. The only downside to the evening was Darren had to call in to work for a telephone conference. We sat in the car for an hour and fifteen minutes in The Ranch parking lot waiting for the stupid conference call to be finished. We didn't get into the restaurant until 9:30 p.m., we finished supper around 10:30, and made a quick stop at Wal-Mart before heading home. My mom was watching the girls for us and I feel just terrible getting home after 11 since she had to work early in the morning the next day. If it wasn't for that damn phone call we would have been home around 10.

Our rapid refund from H&R Block went in the checking account on Friday so today we paid off two bills. I can't be happier that Darren told me to pay TWO of them off since I was having a hard time talking him into paying off one. I totally understand where he is coming from though. When you have that much money in the bank you would like to hold on to it for a while before spending all of it. Hopefully next year we will be able to keep what we get back and can spend some of it on fun things. The taxes for the house are due too so I am putting a check for that in the mail today as well. It is really nice to know that we do not having any except for the car payment and monthly bills.
