Ok. I hate this meme. I’ve put off doing it for the last x years that I’ve had a blog. I just didn’t see the point of jumping on that knitter’s bandwagon.

1. Mapgirl is my nickname.

Here’s what I know I have on deck for next year:
1) One more surgery. Medical FSA is budgeted.
2) Laser eye surgery. Medical FSA will have to be budgeted, but I’ve decided definitely to push it off till 2008 since I’ve pushed it off so far. Hopefully my prescription will hold for another year.
3) Motorcyle repairs [...]

Jonathan is really into T-bills. I’m fascinated by the process and his calculations, but I’m still having a hard time understanding what he’s doing. Namely, right now, I see that I have an expiring CD at Millennium Bank. I could roll it into another 180-day CD at a new APY of 5.6%, APR is 5.46%.

No, really, are you getting everything you can out of your doctor?

My patient advocacy post was supposed to be at 8AM today, not PM. That explains why it why it was buried in the PFBlog feed.
That also explains why my afternoon post isn’t floating to the top. I’m annoying myself today. Is it happy hour yet?

I have a Prosper.com account. I put a little money in it, but not enough to put a bid out. I am putting a little more money in it, primarily out of curiosity. I wonder if this thing really works. If it does, I think I’d like to put more longer term savings funds there.
