It's Friday!

I finally painted my toes tonight to match the nails that I painted on Tuesday.

I paid off my car today! In less than 2 years of owning it! This is the first time I have ever in my life paid off a car loan! Now we can focus on paying Brian's truck down in earnest. Having 2 car payments again has not been fun.

I'm having dorky fun times revamping our finance spreadsheet to simplify it a bit, and I am giving Mint.com a try again with doing the trending for me. I had an account a while ago and canceled it, and noticed it's got way more tools to play with now.

Last night the Tiggerette and I went dress shopping (she's good at that) and I found the dress for my brother's wedding, though it needs some small alterations (the straps are too long so it falls too low on me). It's a gorgeous champagne pink color (not usually a fan of pink but this one works) and a funky 40's ish style. It also does a great job of hiding my bad farmer tan/peel/burn. Though I'd never go in there on my own the Tiggerette convinced me to give the sales rack in the back of http://www.karenmillen.com/ (Natick Collection) a try, and we found one. It was our last stop before the mall closed after trying on dresses at a ton of other places. Yay! Alas, there are no pictures of it on the website otherwise I would share.

this is why it's best to take someone shopping with you. they encourage you to go out of your normal spots and find those awesome things you wouldn't normally buy or find.

congrats on the car payment! it's an awesome feeling. i was ecstatic when i paid off my first car. and had it another 7 years after that.
