To Update or Not to Update?

I want to do an update post, but my husband gets paid on Friday, so I'm thinking maybe I should wait. But I don't really know how much of a difference it will make.

Some quick things:
  • we got our new mortgage statement, and it turns out that we owe a few hundred dollars more than I thought. Could be worse, I guess.
  • I thought we'd have to pay taxes this year (for the first time ever!), but when I claimed the Management course I'm taking, we'll actually get a few hundred dollars back, so that's good. I'm just waiting to see how much he's paid in group insurance premiums, and maybe we can claim a little bit more. I don't think so, though, but I want to make sure.
  • my husband won $332 in the payday pool at work, which I'm thinking I'll put directly in our long-term emergency savings so that it doesn't just disappear. He likes this idea, as well.
  • we're planning to get new windows, and that means $$$. We might make it up eventually in heating costs, though. Our current windows are pure crap.
  • I'm stressed about my cat, because I suspect (oh hell--I know) that his teeth are bad and he'll need them pulled. This will also cost $$$, not to mention he will NOT approve. We got the other one's teeth done last year, and it cost about $2500 all together. But I don't want my baby to be in pain.
That's it for now. More later.
