We're getting passports for hubby and the kids today. Hubby's expires in 2006, and some countries don't let you use your passport if it's not valid for at least 6 months. He needs to surrender his current passport, and wait the few weeks for the new one, so we figured this would be a good time to go, as he has no international travel scheduled for the next few months. At the same time, we figured we'd get them for the kids, too. Hubby takes business trips to Canada that we'd love to tag along on, but a new rule change requires passports to Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean beginning Jan 1. (Used to be a drivers license and birth certificate were enough). I forgot how expensive they are...I think the kids' will be in the neighborhood of $60 each, and hubby's will be a bit more. At least it will be done and valid for 5 or 10 years.

DS has a doctor appointment today. $15 out of pocket, but will be reimbursed by my FSA. I need to log on to see how much I have left in there. I should also take the other car for an oil change. Other than that, it's a miserable day weather-wise, so I'm going to hunker down, straighten up, we'll light a fire and enjoy our company.

Looking forward to payday tomorrow, and closing out the books on 2005...
