I heard back on my interview that I had last week. My salary is about $10K more than they are willing to pay for an admin position. The HR lady said that they will keep me in mind on other positions that would be a better fit.
This is still great news because while I was interviewing with the two VP's seperately they both thought that I would be better suited for a scheduling position (scheduling natural gas). The hiring VP told me that they had 3 scheduler positions open. So since they were the ones to reach out to me I will sit tight.
Since the begining of the year I've dropped my mortgage down from $110,207.95 to $108,579.95. That's pretty good progress for two months! The thing that irritates me is that when I make and additional payment towards the principle it gets applied toward the blanace and they keep extending my payment due month. I have to call and have them issue a credit back and apply it properly. It's an ordeal! I definately have to stay on top of it.
I bought a tree yesterday! One of my goals was to purchase 2 fruit trees for my back yard. I was aiming for two trees at $20/each. Instead I ended up getting one tree for $42. My daughters have been eating alot of "Cuties" lately so I bought a Clementine tree. It should start producing fruit in October!
Other than that I am trying to plan things out that we will do on Spring Break and look into a new cellphone plan for my daughter. Right now I pay $45/mth but I saw something over the weekend and I'm hoping to get it down to $19/mth.

Yahoo for progress on mortgage principal. Does your mortgage have specific requirements for paying the principal as opposed to pre-paying the mortgage? Some mortgages require payments specifically directed to the principle be identified; some contracts only accept payments to principal on anniversary dates for example.
