Stupid Banks

I have been waiting for today for over a month....

I called U.S. Bank to make our last payment on our Honda Pilot. They will give me the amount but wont let me pay over the phone. Exactly why wouldn't you want my money? Our online account never has the same balance as the mailed bill so I can't use it either! So I now have to wait until the new bill shows up for July! I am not happy because I was SO excited to pay it off today and that we will have NO more car payments! YEA!!!!!

The rest of today is not so exciting...ship out one small order and continue working on the invitations for my sisters bridal shower. I think I went a little over the top trying to do something fun. Each invitation has 4 recipe cards included so guests can bring some of their favorite recipes to share. My sister likes to cook so this seemed like the perfect theme for her. The mother of the groom and my other sister are helping me with food thankfully!

I still have to cut out all the invitations....I should have just sucked it up and bought some. Darn trying to be unique.

We have a FULL weekend!

Tonight Concert

Saturday see one of my best friends that is on leave from the Navy.

Sunday drive my crazy husband to the Bacon Festival in Keystone, CO for another concert with some friends.

Enjoy your weekend! Next weekend we have even more going on!  July is going to be a CRAZY month!

Are you Alive....I am today

I have been a bad blogger...not on here much and nothing much of interest to say. I have religiously been reading blogs I follow and that to me is more important than me writing nonsense.

So I have been focusing on:

Planning my sisters bridal shower for the end of July. So far I have a cupcake stand, some red kitchen items and a binder with divided sheet protectors and tabs for different meal sections. She wants recipes so I am printing these recipe cards and these and these to go in the invitations and asking each guest to bring at least 2 recipes with them. Other than that I have no clue what I am doing as I am still waiting on a guest list. I am not a fan of playing games so I am not sure if I want to do that (she doesn't care). I also have no clue about food. So I am emailing her future mother in law because I know she wants to help and has no daughters. She HAS to have some ideas, right? I sure hope so....

The BEST thing happening in June is the 24th I am paying our Honda Pilot off!!!! That means we will have ZERO car payments on either vehicle. Side note is that it needs new tires but I am SUPER EXCITED that we will be done with payments. My husband still wants a Jeep and probably always will. It just isn't the best vehicle mileage wise or cost wise. I think he is wishing he wasn't responsible with money so he could convince himself that is ok to go buy one (used of course, you lose too much money on new autos). There are days I wonder if he will show up with one out of the blue because he wants one so bad. At least we will have extra money to save towards it if he makes that leap. As much as I don't want a Jeep set up to off road in (he will actually use it for that) he deserves the one thing he has been drooling about.

Other than that life is just moving along. Hope you are well and enjoying your summer!
