Take a look at my running debt balance on the left. Do you notice something? One of my credit card balances now reads $0! That means that I’ve paid off one of my cards. I know that Bank of America is kicking themselves in the shins now but that baby reads zero, zip, nada, zilch, nothing and they’re not making any more off my stupid decisions any more. 🙂 I received my Federal tax refund yesterday and paid down my debts as I had planned to. This took my credit card to zero. I don’t know what to do with myself. I feel like calling up customer service and just saying, “Ha, ha!” Alas, I’m a mature woman so I would never do such a thing.

Since this is Valentines Day I could not think of a better Valentine’s Day gift for myself. Since the boyfriend and I don’t celebrate the day anyway I feel like someone just dropped a gift right onto my lap. Whoo!
