Today's magic number is...

...1,225.86.


It's the number of dollars I owe CitiCard. To some, the amount may raise an eyebrow of concern. But consider this: on January 1, 2009, I owed Madre just over $4,200.00, and Citi had me for somewhere around $4,600. I've often joked that CitiBank was my Rumplestiltskin -- between my credit card and my student loans, any claims on my first-born child were theirs.

The creepy little man may not quite be vanquished, but he's withering away and won't be staking his claim. Today, my non-educational debt totals just $1,225.86. If I hadn't woken up at 6:30 after going to bed at 12:00ish, I'd kick up my heels and do a leprechaun dance around my imaginary pot of gold. Due to my sleep-deprived crankiness, I'll be keeping my happy dance internal. My apologies if you were looking forward to it.
