Dear So and So

[Owlie]

Dear DH

I am both mystified by your fixation on "run my age plus one" goal, and amazed by your accomplishment yesterday: not content to run a marathon up a mountain, you parked 17 miles above the start, got up at 2:30 am, ran downhill to the official start, completed the marathon, and ran back to the car. After 2 months of lots of cycling but no running at all, except that 35 mile day last week. Over 57 miles.

I'm afraid to ask how many toenails you lost (and no, I won't peek!).

Dear self:
The responsible thing would be to, having paid the CC bill, (which was ridiculous, thanks to your inability to remember to pack lunch for much of the month) and rent and the electric bill on the way, to put the balance of your birthday money toward paying the student loan. However, we do realize that that is slightly unrealistic. SO. There's about $50 worth of stuff you want. Buy it. Put balance of "spending money" half in savings. Put the other half toward paying off the loan.
