Happy Easter, or 1st Sunday in April

stirring medley (safe for hipsters, agnostics and non-Christians) of "Christ the Lord is Risen Today" and "That's Amore!" this morning. Went to church yesterday because I fear crowds: good idea, as heathen hubby was working on-call and yelling obscenities when we got home. Would hate to have to get up early with "#%@$".

Easy Orange mortgage offer: five years at 3.75% APR, up to 75% of the home value borrowed, no points, with free bi-weekly payments. We're tempted. I like our 20-year mortgage with 12.5 years remaining, and I don't yet have a financially stabilizing and sustaining income. Also the payments are made electronically: paper checks incur $50 fees.

I did this without booze (did you know doing your taxes sober takes 1/3 of the time and 1/2 as much paperwork? The IRS should include this handy tip on its 1040 package: do your taxes sober!), and now am going to get an overpriced junky bag of potato chips and kombucha and watch A Bit of Fry and Laurie (more people have seen Stephen Fry

    heehee. I think my job as a computer programmer for a small company qualifies as "being clever at solving puzzles leading to a big salary" where big salary is relative to the small town in which I live Smile
