Speak of the devil!
As an update to this post, we got our check! I didn't even notice it because I forgot I had them deposit our refunds (and ergo our stimulus package) into our savings which I hardly ever pay attention to - so I had to log into our account. But it's there! This weekend we're supposed to go see Paul's parents - so mattress shopping will have to wait until next weekend. I still haven't decided what I want to do with some of the other money, but it's looking like fixing up my appearance because I really feel ugly lately. Some new clothes, new hair cut and some self-esteem boosters will do me some good :) My sister recently had her hair cut short and dyed a dark brown - I'm jealous. She looks so put-together and sleek now!
