odds and ends

Did not do a whole lot of house work yesterday. We went to pick up a water heater from some friends who were wanting to get rid of it. We also had another visit to Home Depot. I think we should buy stock in Home Depot and Lowes since we have been spending so much money there.

We never made it out to the new house. We spent time loading my truck up with stuff last night. I had spent all yesterday morning making a pile in the living room. This pile is what we moved to my truck last night. I then went to the bedrooms and cleaned up a bit and tossing odds and ends into boxes and putting those in the living room. We also took down our outside attenna and got that ready to move.

Today, I called Atmos Energy to cancel the gas service. But they refused to talk to me because my name was not on the account. Everywhere else, I have been able to cancel service over the phone as long as I had all the information. Atmos kept telling me it was due to the privacy laws. But would not everyone have to abide by those same rules. It was frustrating that they were such butt heads about it. I was able to do it online using the exact same information that I used every where else to cancel service or move service.

We also got our first payment book in the mail for our mortgage. It has already been sold to another mortgage company. It lasted a whole 2 weeks with who we did the application through. We did not even get a chance to make a payment. At least on the payment stub I can put a specific amount I would like to apply to principal on top of our normal payment. I do like that. It will be nice to get this paid off before we hit 30 years. (we cannot wait to get the school loans paid off either).
