Tuesday: an almost quote

Here is a quote from today. (I changed it to make it more understandable without context.)

"This cable's paperwork says was built at a revision K a while ago. Therefore, we don't need to increase it's revision to H."

Hmm...someone was having alphabet troubles today. Or maybe I'm the only one that finds it funny.

Monday: at least they're free

Last Saturday I ran out of checks. Now usually I don't use many checks, averaging probably about four per month. But this particular Saturday I needed five checks. I paid the one bill and wrote one small check before realizing there were no more in the check book. Bother. It became a time to clean out my drawer as I threw away some empty check boxes along with some check boxes of accounts long closed. However, none of the current bank checks showed themselves.

Fine, I'll order more checks, if you insist. Last time I thought they were absurdly expensive for plain bank checks, but what can I do. Hey, two clicks on the bank website and they're ordered. Well, at least that was easy.

Fast forward 8 days. I log onto the bank website and happen to notice a little icon that says I have mail. After contemplating not clicking it - because let's face it, sometimes they send me notices that I don't care about - I click it thinking maybe it will tell me when my checks shipped.

The email told me my checks didn't ship because blah blah blah.

What?!? They didn't ship? And they didn't send me a little email reminder saying that I had a secure email from them? I find it absurd. While the remaining three checks can in fact wait 7-10 more business days, there are plenty of cases where this wouldn't be the case.

Sure, maybe if it was that important I would have checked to make sure they shipped earlier. Or remembered to order checks. But this meant I had to make a phone call...and I hate making phone calls.

But at least the checks that are coming are free. And they're blue.

Sunday: the day is saved

To begin with, Happy Halloween!

of pumpkin smiles!! Thanks to Nathan and Liz for the card. We didn't receive many trick-or-treaters, so we still have plenty of candy left. :)

Then I was at Sam's and found Coke with real sugar! How exciting!

Oh, Flurry wanted her picture taken too.

I found some tea for my spice tea! Phew. Wegman's comes through again and saves the day.

Saturday: today

Today was rather...normal. I had to go into work for the morning which kind of throws my whole day off. It'll be nice on Friday when I don't have to work, but annoying for today.

I also picked out who I am going to vote for. I still have one race that I'm not sure about.

Friday: highlights

Tonight a friend put highlights in my hair. The after pictures didn't turn out the best, so here's some intermediate ones instead. It was a lot of fun.

Thursday: a date!

Tonight Ben and I went on a date instead of exercising. Oh well, the date was a lot more fun. We went to dinner (Friendly's) and a movie (Red). The movie was really good...it was a funny action flick with a touch of romance.

Now it's off to bed for me! Bed time is one of my favorite times of the day.

Wednesday: that slippery lotion

So I've been planning this post for a while; I haven't written it because I've either forgotten about it or I had something interesting happen that day...

I found a lotion I really like! It was Purely Silk Velvet Body Cream by Bath and Body Works. I would put it on at night and my feet were still soft in the morning! While I still have a lot of other lotions to use, if you're going to get me lotion it should be this stuff. (Although a word of warning...it is also probably the most expensive lotion I've ever used. But I just inherited it, so it would be wasteful not to use it.)

So I was searching on-line, trying to find a picture of the jar, only to find out that IT'S BEEN DISCONTINUED! Now I don't even have a hope of ever getting more.

Oh well, it's been that kind of week.
