M&Ms and other assorted goodies

So let's see....I travel all the way to New York to go to Dylan's Candy Bar to buy some $10 a pound black, white and silver M&Ms that look oh so hip and cool in the candy dispenser I got for Christmas. Then I come home and see that you can buy bags of black and white M&Ms for about $2. At least I have silver ones. It is probably also cheaper to order the coloured ones from the M&Ms webpage, but going to Dylan's is just so damn cool.

Our deadbeat tenants finally paid all the back rent and late fees 2 days before Thanksgiving. Since we were able to cover the mortgage payment ourselves without going into our savings account, that was like receiving an "extra" $3500. Yippee. It paid for the trip to NY and some Christmas presents. So far everything is good. They have paid their January rent and promise that everything will be good from here on out. Let's hope.

Matthew is in OKC until Jan 16. That bites.

But we are sooooo excited about our upcoming ski trip Feb 3-10. We are going to Salt Lake City and Jackson Hole. I am so happy we are in a position to do these things and Bruce Schobel did not take everything away from me. He took enough to make my life miserable, but I can't just lay here and die. I have to do things that make me happy.

We have a new member of the family. Ceilidh the kitty. So far her and the Bij are doing ok together. Bijoux is a little more aggressive when it comes to playing than Ceilidh likes, but when she has enough she just goes and hides under the bed. Bijoux is lucky that she is such a mild mannered kitty and puts up with all the unnecessary roughness. Otherwise Bijoux would be one scratched up and bloody poodle.

That's enough for now. It's about damn time I wrote in here eh??
