Decisions, Decisions

As luck would have it, we recently came into some money. Totally unexpectedly too. I went to the mailbox the other day and imagine my surprise when I pulled out a check from our mortgage company for "over payment of your account." Awesome! I mean, Lord knows I give them enough money, it's about time I got some of that back.

So now the problem is what to do with the money. (I know. Cry you a river, right?) Do we invest it in the children's college funds? Take a vacation? Go on a shopping spree? Maybe beef up our savings? Who knows?!?

Now I know that it is not polite to talk about money, but I bet you are wondering just how much we "over paid". So, because we are friends and I know I can trust you, I am going to share the amount with you. I don't want you to judge me, or beg me for money, okay? Because this is OUR money. We are the ones who over paid our mortgage by:


Yeah. You read it right. Three measly cents. Seriously? That couldn't just sit in my escrow account for a rainy day? The paper it is printed on cost more. And don't get me started on the postage.

So what did we decide to do with our windfall? Simple. We hung it in the cupboard so we can get a cheap (get it?) laugh every once in awhile. Not worth the gas it would take to drive it to the bank.
