Well, hello better credit!

My credit must be way better these days. I applied for a Target Guest card online and was approved instantly! Okay, I shouldn't get TOO excited 'cuz afterall, they only gave me a $200.00 credit limit. But shoot, that's better than a big fat "NO" that they told me not too long ago. I'm feeling so confident right now I should apply for a Seaman's card. Hubby and I went there last week and picked out a new living room and dinette sets. Total cost was $2500+ and we put down half. In cash! That's right, folks, hubby is doing big thangs these days. He is bringing is some serious cash. Serious as in our roof is fixed ($4500 --- paid in CASH!), our landscaping is going to be done ($4200 --- paid in CASH!) and Deb's guest bedroom is going to get hooked up. I'm soooo proud of my boo :o) He really is making thangs happen around here.

Anyways, we are on a home-remodeling frenzy because hubby's parents are coming to visit the week of Thanksgiving. They have never been to our home since we moved here in December, 2000 and my mother-in-law says it's about time. I guess. See, I'm really not too thrilled about all this because I just know that they are going to come here and judge the way we live. Sure we could've bought a single-family home, but a duplex was a much wiser choice. Not only are the tax benefits a plus, the income from our rental is the shat! But see, I just know they won't see those. They'll just see our tiny-azz apartment and they'll make all these crazy assumptions about us. Oh well... They can assume all they want, but I just know that hubby and I will have the last laugh. Little do they know we already have a plan in action to move into a banging-azz crib in either North Wales, Blue Bell or Malvern. Give us two years. We'll be there...

UPDATE: Application to Seaman's was APPROVED with a $3500.00 credit limit! Now, how to tell the hubby *scratching head*...
