Hi OldFool, Jeff, and everyone else,

I'm just checking in. OF, I hope everything works out in your favor. You betcha I understood that you were NOT offering your STBXW 60%.

Here's an update: As you know, my divorce was final on 20 Jul. I recently started paying back the money I borrowed from my 401K...ouchie...that's $590.00 a month! I am feeling it. I dropped the ex from my health insurance so my premium went down but I increased my 401K contribution.

Also, I'm finally getting around to doing my taxes...and yes, I filed an extension. I owe $1,200.00...CRAP! I did it on TaxAct, but I'm having a tax advisor look over it. Maybe, I overlooked something. Anyway, I found a part-time job at QVC, the home shopping channel. Hopefully, I'll like the job. I start next month. I decided to get the job because I could use the extra money but also, to fill the void that I sometimes feel. My brother/wife will be moving out soon, so I'll really be alone in my house.

In the meantime, my ex called and wants to set a date when he can pick up the rest of his stuff. The ex let my brother/wife borrow some of his furniture.

I'm sorry that 2007 is turning out crappy for you OF. I hope and pray that 2008 will be brighter and happier for you (you too, Jeff). In a way, 2007 was pretty lousy for me since I spent half the year wheeling and dealing through my lawyer...I'M EXHAUSTED!

Be well, my friends. Take care.

All my best,
alamogirl
