We Love Countrywide

Sunday was our (as in David's and mine) anniversary. I think it was the Cotton Anniversary. Last year was Paper, next year will be Leather. I guess I've got a long way to go before I get some diamonds. We didn't do much since it took place on a rainy Sunday (that sounds like an oxymoron). Yesterday we went to dinner at Sandbagger's, a bar and grill in town. They have cost-efficient steak dinners. Okay, they were cheap. Not incredibly high-quality, but when you only pay $11.75, what can you expect? We then attempted to see a movie, but the "dollar theater" is now the "$7.25 theater," and since they still show the same old movies that have been out for months, and they haven't made any improvements in the theater itself, we decided it wasn't worth it. So we went over to the brand-new theater, which also costs $7.25 and is much, much nicer, in addition to showing new releases. But this place had five theaters showing Shrek 3, and the other five theaters showing movies we'd never heard of and weren't interested in. So we rented a movie.

The highlight of our anniversary was the big fat check we got from our mortgage company. We got one twice the size for David's birthday, back in April. They over charged us for taxes last year, and we didn't get the money back with our tax return, so the mortgage company sent us the refund. That was April's check. Recently, we signed up for a MMA (Money Merge Account) to pay our home loan off faster, and with that account paid off our second mortgage early. So this month, Countrywide refunded us the interest we'd over-paid. I wonder if they'll send me anything for my birthday...
