Student loan payment; and what am I doing still awake??

December 9th, 2008 at 08:13 am

OK, it's 2 a.m. here and I should be asleep. It's rare I stay up past midnight, but AS and I were completing some craft projects as gifts for NT's family. She made bath "tea bags," taco seasoning blend, lemon and orange flavored sugar, some sugar and salt bath scrubs, and monogrammed hankies for NT's dad. I made candied ginger, some ginger-scented sugar with the remainder in the pan, and the labels and instructions for all the containers. Now I'm trying to relax so I can get sleepy. I'm going to be dead tomorrow! I hope it's an easy day at work.

Anyway, I checked AS's student loan account, and the payment finally hit. $55 went to principal, so that's $969 down, $1567 to go in my December goal. I've realized I can't pay my dad $1000 until the 15th, and that's about when a couple other payments hit, so I probably won't see any movement on my goal till then.

    Hope your day's going well even with lack of sleep. I may have to borrow some of your gift ideas. They sound really nice!

    Must have been something in the air last night, I was up to 3. I love the idea of the lemon and orange sugar! Definately will try that myself.

    Can I get the recipe for the taco seasoning blend? What a nice gift idea. How did you package it? Thanks!

    Analise, here's the Web site AS used; it has several other seasoning blends too. For packaging, we just took some empty little mustard jars and things, scrubbed the label off, washed in lots of hot water and soap, and used those. We wanted this to also be an environmentally pleasing gift! Smile http://www.celebrating-christmas.com/giftideas/homemade-gifts-chef.shtml
    If anyone else wants me to get links from AS, let me know.
