Oh yesturday was quite a day. Got my books for Spring semester (lots and lots of reading). $167 dollars for used books. USED! What is up with that?
Closed out all unwanted- unused credit card accounts. But not without frustration. They do not like it when you close a line of credit. We had one card sent to us- that neither of us remembers ordering. It was Am. Ex. and we just do not use them. So I tried to close the account only to be told that they would not talk to me under any circumstances because I am not the primary listed. I explained that we did not think that we opened this line of credit and would like this reconciled. But no- husband still had to call back. And when he did- he of course had no idea what the password was- because- we do not think that we have ever ordered this card. So they did not want to close it. After much haggeling and many inappropriate questions about our finances we finally go the account closed. Just pisses me off that they will issue a card and will gladly ruin my credit rating (joint state that I live in) but will not talk with me.
The weather- we had thunderstorms in January. Normally we have frigid temps and blizzards this time of year. In the lower part of the state they actually had 3 tornados touch down. CRAZY.
Called in sick to work yesturday. I had/have pink eye. Loved having the day off.
Decided to convert the dining room to a play room. RIP dining room- we only used you a few times a year. And during the rest of the time you were just a dumping ground for misc. stuff.
Made dentist appoint- need 2 crowns.
Made eye exam appoint. Need to update my prescription and get new glasses - FOR ALL THAT READING THAT I AM DOING THIS SEMESTER.
Finished my fingerless mittens. They are not exactly the same length. Not sure how that happened- but they are close- and they are just for me- so they will do. Doing a pair for my mother in law and then starting an adorable ear flap hat for myself.
In total need of new tunes to listen to. Without Grey's turning out new shows with new music- I am turning to my 17 year old nephew for suggestions. Funny he likes the music I listened to 20 years ago. I told him only contemporary stuff please, I can find the vintage stuff all by myself thank you.
I am accepting that I need to clean and organize the basement. Oh Boy- do not even know where to begin.
Soooo disappointed to hear that Martha will no longer publishing Blueprint. It was one of my favorite magazines. It was pure eye candy. I like Domino too, but it is full of way pricey stuff. And I do not live in New York City, San Fran, etc. I just do not have that type of shopping available to me. Heck we do not even have an IKEA close by. The nearest is across state border to Minnesota or Illinois.
Kids started piano lessons again. Oh Christmas break was wonderful- we had 3 weeks off of piano. I realizes though, that I really need to make this a priority. No Wii until homework and piano are finished. Maybe that will help.
We planned a short winter break for next week. Swimming and lounging. I'd love to sled or hike or snowshoe but we just do not have any snow. But this is Wisconsin and after this major warm-up and melt down- we just may get that blizzard yet.
