Ok, So I May Have Overreacted a Bit Yesterday

April 7, 2009

After writing about my car woes yesterday, I called my dad to see if he thought $340 sounded right, just for parts. He didn't, and when I told him the whole story he insisted on calling the car place himself (it's actually a Toyota dealer). My dad operates under the perpetual ... Read more...

Well, It’s Bad News All Around

April 6, 2009

So my spring break is going well: I woke up this morning to straighten out the whole Internet thing, and found that Verizon, the only other cable/Internet service provider in my area, doesn't provide service in my building. So I called Comcast, my current provider, to see what ... Read more...

Addition to Spring Break Plans

April 4, 2009

Additional plan for Monday: find a new Internet service provider. I just got a bill from Comcast for $63! I knew my rate would jump once my one-year deal ended, but $63?!! Just for one month's Internet! Absurd. Any suggestions? ... Read more...

My Spring Break Plans

April 4, 2009

As I've mentioned before, one of the great things about being a teacher (aside from shaping young minds and all) is the incredible amount of time off we get. I have the next ten days off, and I've got some pretty rockin' plans lined up (re-read that last line with heavy sarcasm), ... Read more...

Shopping Around

March 30, 2009

It's official: I signed the papers to close on my car loan today. I am now officially $10,000 deeper in debt, to yet another bank. But I'm not too worried - the loan will be paid off in 4 years or less and the payment is very manageable. But this post is actually about the ... Read more...

The End of the Drama

March 24, 2009

As it turns out, A chose not to bring up money at all in her email back to me, so now I feel like sort of a b*tch for assuming that she would stoop so low. I ran the whole exchange by another friend (the A that I usually write about, actually) and she pointed out that A is not ... Read more...

This is Related to PF in an Obtuse Way…

March 23, 2009

Over the past week, I've been in an argument with a friend, A. (Not the A that I usually write about, a different A.) A and I became very good friends in graduate school, and, until recently, maintained close ties despite living in different states. The argument centers around ... Read more...

What are the Odds?!!

March 18, 2009

On Sunday, T and I were on our way to dinner. I was driving down the highway, and he mentioned that something in my car sounded funny to him. And there was a sound, a sort of thumping sound. I just told him to turn up the radio and ignore it (the only time I subscribe to the ... Read more...
