Now I am certified to wear spandex shorts

Herro! Some good things have been happening to me lately. I am now the proud owner of a new bike. It is pretty. When I ride it I wobble around like a little kid. Here is what it looks like:

I took the picture from an artistic picture, complete with our kitty to add interest. Do you like it? Now I can ride bikes with my son, who has constantly been ASKING me to, every since he got his own new bike that his grandfather gave him. Well, not constantly, as he's been spending the better part of the last week and a half with his paternal grandparents because his cousin is visiting for two weeks. So I've been Ethan free once again. I actually miss him sometimes. See! I DO have a uterus and estrogen! Yay!

The second good thing that happened was kinda weird. It's really slow at work right now. Like, REALLY slow. This week, I worked 2 1/2 days. So, being concerned with money, I decided to not pay extra on all my credit cards like I usually do, but rather to only pay the minimum due. Not wanting to bother finding all my most current statements, I just called the number on the back of each card to get an automated voice telling me just the information I want to hear. When I called Citicard, I entered my number as instructed, and there was a long silence, then an operator came on. I told him I was sorry, I was just trying to get the automated thingy to tell me my due date and amount due. He said it was really slow, so he doesn't mind. He told me my due date, and then asked me to hold for my amount due. I held, and when he came back, he told me my amount due, but explained to me that my accounts in default for some reason, and he was going to check on it. I though this was weird as I make my payments regularly, but it would certainly explain why I got a letter last month saying that my interest rate was going up substantially. When he came back on the line, he told me that I had missed a payment in February, and he adjusted it to take care of that missed payment so it's not all skewed and he said lots of stuff involving words like 'transfer', 'balance', 'principle', and 'interest'. Don't ask me, I just smile and nod. But long story short *too late* he said that my account is no longer in default and he got my interest rate reduced by 6%! How sweet is that! I told him that this is why I love Citicard. Everytime I call an operator, they totally got my back. So, I am pretty damn happy about that. Yay!

People have been asking me what Juliana's fiance looks like, so in response to inquiring minds, I decided to post the picture that came with the invite. Here you go:

Ok. The technology is failing me. I have tried three times to upload this picture, and three times, it has told me it worked, and just not been here. So I guess it's not to be. Make that four times. I decided to try again, but to no avail. So sorry.

Today I was so tired, I came home from work at one, and mom wanted to go to lunch so we did, then I came home and slept for three hours. That's not like me. Weird.

Anyhoo. I've lost all momentum here, and So You Think You Can Dance is about to start, so I guess I'll see ya round. Peace out, yo!

Oh yeah! PS-the more commercials I see for Snakes on a Plane, the more in love with this movie I am! Seriously, I want to see that flick so BAD! It looks cheez-a-rific!
