Week Random Wrap Up

I bought "Learn Japanese In Your Car" at half-priced books for $19.99 which is a pretty good deal.  It came with 3 extra CD's on learning a foreign language.  I've taken Japanese twice in school and lived in Japan over 7 years - and still I cannot speak the language.  I refuse to give up though!  After I learn Japanese I will move on to Spanish :-)

I forced myself to come in to work this morning.  Partly guilt - Saturday's are bad enough without a bunch of losers calling in sick and making it twice as busy for everyone else.  Party because our supervisor brings in donuts Saturdays.

I hope these continue to grow until I plant them in May. 
You are supposed to cut it up so each little vine has some roots then plant them in the ground. 
I am looking forward to seeing if I get a crop of sweet potatoes in the fall! 

 
I didn't exercise Thursday or Friday, so I have to exercise Saturday and Sunday to make up for it (usually I take the weekends off).  I don't know why I even try - my weight is like concrete on me - seems like no matter what I do it stays put.

I paid $4,449 in mortgage interest last year - no wonder I'm so poor!

I only paid $1,915 in property tax.  According to homeowners I know in other parts of the country - this is good.  Though they probably pay more because their homes are probably 4x as valuable as my little shack :-)

I did my taxes last night.  I'm getting back a decent amount but it is less than $1,000.  I hope to set it aside for Sierra's car.
