Suz’s Ramblings…

I’ve decided to give growing my hair long another try.  I’m thinking that if I can resist the urge to color it, I might have a good shot at getting it to grow as long as I’d like.  Which currently is somewhere around waist length.  I seem to have the same two down falls everytime [...]

We got a love letter from our lender (Countrywide) in the mail today.  Along with our monthly statement was a nifty little notice telling us that they expect our impound (escrow) account to be short by $1600 next year.  They expect us to come up with the $1600 in December of this year.
