halloween!!!

I HAS FANGS!

*bite*

root of all EV$L

well ive been doing good in managing my money. ive been putting a little (and by little i mean tiny) bit of my pay checks into a separate savings (but its actually a checking) account. i have about $80 saved up right now, but i have 3 big expenses i know coming up and i dont know which one to do first.... my options:

1) i have some sort of cyst growing underneath my chin. a doctors visit starts at $25 plus any additional cost (ie. labs, removal, etc)
2) the jeep needs new brake pads and for the rotters to be rotated (starts at $160)
3) the jeep has a hole in the exhaust pipe and needs fixing (around $100 i believe)

i think the order of importance is 2, 1 then 3... idk...

ive been having a lot of fun on wow lately. ive ran both of our kara runs so that really makes me feel proud ^_^ *beam*

also it was great seeing tony and kristine again. i cant wait for then to be here. it just feels so natural that they live here. we got a lot of stuff done during their visit and they got to meet greggles ^_^ i think kristine is in love, lol...

*bark*

PT Test Today

I hate the army. So so so so so much. I joined on Oct 26, 2000. When I signed up I got a $10,000 Student Loan Repayment thing. Well come to find out I have to hold my loans for 1 year before the army will pay for them (although they only pay 15% yearly). I will have held my loans for 1 year on July 2008. I then found out that i can only apply for my SLRP on the month of the anniversary of when I enlisted. So that means i cant even apply till next Oct. Oh it gets better... Finally i find out that inorder for the army to continue to pay for my loans, i have to be actively drilling. So when my military contract is over (next Oct) they wont pay for my loans.

My options are:
1) Dont reenlist and spend 8.4 years paying my loans.
2) Reenlist for 3 years, get the $7,500 bonus and the army will pay half my loans.
3) Reenlist for 6 years, get the $15,000 bonus and the army will pay all my loans.

What do i do?

ok here are a ton of pics:

Kristine, Tony and Rex

Our good friend from Chicago came down to visit us again. We had an awesome weekend. They got in Friday and we immediately hit up downtown. First went to Trops then decided to do 80's night at Shattered (which is always so much fun!). We decided to have an after party of our own and we just danced the night away, lol. Sunday was really lazy. Kristine made us Crepes, omletes and a strawberry glaze (she spoils us too much). Then we went to check out an apartment then to the mall. Kristine got a couple cute shirts from Express. Then we went back home and took naps/played games. Next we went to Flat Branch. That was really fun cause RIGHT when we got done eating outside on the patio, it started to POUR! So we hopped in the car, drove to Schnucks, rented 3 movies (which too SO LONG) then had a movie marathon (we rented Shawn of the Dead, Knocked Up and Blades of Glory). They left Monday morning too early for me to wake up.

All in all, it was a fun weekend and I'm already looking forward to their next visit. I also got to visit with Ashley on Friday (or was it Sat? i forgot). That was a lot of fun. Well off to work... ^_^
