Fill 'er up
Today is payday where I work. Due to the Christmas holidays, our last payday was December 22. That means it hasn't "rained" in 40 days and 40 nights. The holiday credit card bills have come and gone since then. And so, as of yesterday, at our house we were officially running on fumes.
Remember three years ago, when the Oregon Legislature scheduled a vote on a tax increase for January 27? That was one of their better ones. Good times.

Now there's one I never heard of.
Actually, the alternative for us would be to get paid for December on the 31st. A hassle for the employer -- and I'd rather get that money a week or so early, so that I can blow it on wine!
