Left the garden early this morning for an app...hence my signature. LMAO. I don't feel bad about it. Probably b/c I really wanted the card...and it was approved with a generous credit line! Haha!

Been getting the itch lately... almost gave in to a CLI request that I don't need! but holding strong!
Waiting to see what happens to zync holders if we'll have to apply for something else. If this is the case, BCE/BCP in Jan if I want a revolver, or a different charge product.

My scores are dropping slightly due to BoA reporting out-of-cycle, causing my util to jump a bit since I have been buying some expensive stuff recently to furnish my new apartment. Oh well. I don't need perfect scores at the moment as I don't have any new credit lines I am planning on opening anytime soon. I am just sitting here in my garden, where I have been for the last 78 days. This bronze spade is becoming worn down.

Jumping in the garden. Got my CSP (yay) and tried for a AMEX BCP (failed). Done for quite some time. Just SP CLI for now.

Whoohoo, moving on up. Got my silver spade going on here in the garden this month! Got a 6,000 CLI from Amex this month which kept me feeling like I was still making progress on my credit. My credit scores on creditkarma.com went up a few points since last month b/c of decreased util (PIF before reporting). Enjoying my cards, though my spade is now shinier than the cards are as they are starting to lose their luster ![]()
Guess I'll enjoy some spatzle and jäger schnitzel and mix up some bananaweizen... yumm
The stuff sold in bottles here isn't very good so better to mix banana juice and hefeweizen to get close to the real thing.

Congrats on your shiny, new spade, as well as your wonderful CLI!
Bananaweizen... hmm... this is the first time that I've heard of it. Sounds interesting.
