AHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Today was one of those days when everything went smoothly.

For starters, I applied online for Social Security. I decided to start at 62, so 90 days before my birthday (yesterday) I was able to apply.

I immediately received a call from the SS office in Rome, a very nice lady asked me some questions, we corrected a few things, and she told me to come and show my birth certificate and my citizen certificate.

Since I didn't exactly want to drive all the way to Rome, she suggested I hop on over to the local Labor Dept office right here in town, where it just so happened, that one of the agents was there this afternoon. (God, that sounds like bad English)

So I strapped Boo in her car seat, dragged Wheelie out too, so he could stay in the car with her.
The lady made copies of my documents, and it was DONE!!!!

Come March first, I'll be joining the hordes of baby boomers receiving our hard earned social security.
YEEHAW!

It will make a huge difference for us. And I am hoping to snag a good deal on some health insurance for myself. I won't be able to get Medicare until I turn 65. I can't wait to get a checkup. Haven't seen a doctor for over seven years, it's about time.

This morning I had to go do my grocery shopping for tomorrow, and also run to the post office and the bank. I hit all the green lights. The traffic was quiet, and there were no lines anywhere.

I managed to get everything on my list at Target (25 mile drive) and get back in time for the girls to arrive at 11:30. Treated myself to a Starbucks caramell frappuchino too, so there!

The baby was a funny today, she won't sit still for pictures anymore, wanting to grab the camera instead and yelling: CHEESE!!! (thanks Elmo)

She took a nice long nap and Wheelie and I made another dent in the eBay listings.

She is currently "trying" to go to sleep, but I'm not sure she'll be quiet for a while, I'll just let her fidget for now.

Gonna go watch Ghost Hunters...

Toodeloo!

SGMKJ!
