I saw the prettiest American Goldfinch this morning as I was leaving for work. At least seeing some bright and beautiful birds (instead of the crows, which don't get me wrong my gothy side has an affection for crows) means my bird feeder is successful and keeps me motivated to keep it full.

I think I am caught back up with everything except work at this point. I am in the process of trying to schedule a closing on the refi for the mortgage for next week. Gotta love keeping the same length of time on the mortgage, dropping the payment by $60 a month and getting cash out to put in the porch and redo the siding (IF I can get that variance). I really need to get some time to put together a sketch and get that paperwork out. Whee.
