(a cutesy combination of "quickies" and "blurbs")

- went to BOA today to find out why I was being charged a $3 maintenance fee on my savings account. Turns out that it was my fault (gosh, I hate it when that happens). I suppose I was told at some point that I would get charged is my savings account balance falls below $300, but since it never had been (until last month), I had forgotten. The representative from the bank was extremely nice and helpful, even taking the $3 off (without me asking) because she said it was a stupid requirement! Then she gave me her card with her direct line and told me to call if I ever had any more questions or problems. GREAT customer service at the branch, although I am disappointed that no one bothered to answer my e-mail to the bank. Might have to write BOA to give a thumbs up to the lady who helped me...(and a thumbs down to the online CSRs)
- DH's car does not seem to want to start lately. I barely got it started to get home from work (remember, mine's in the shop), and then we couldn't start it coming home tonight from our card match. DH scraped some crud off the battery terminals and it finally caught. oh boy...
- A big round of applause for Tinapbeana for introducing me to the pocketmod on her Friday freebies! LOVE it! I've bene carrying it around all day, making a to-do list (5 things already crossed off) and a shopping list. I even had enough space to make three different shopping lists for three different stores (not that I go to them all, but I don't decide which store to go to until after I make the lists). I was able to write down all those little things that I always forget because I have no paper handy! Keep 'em coming, Tina!
- Lost a bet on the SU game last week with my office mate. He totally took advantage of the fact that I don't follow basketball Smile Actually, he gave me a four point spread, but I still lost and had to buy him a shake from McDonald's today. I wound up getting myself some soup there too, since I couldn't find much to bring for lunch today. Thumbs down for Jodi - way to blow $5.
- Spent - or saved - some money on dinner tonight, depending on how you look at it. DH and I were supposed to go out to a restaurant for dinner tonight before our card match, as my parents were taking the boys to my aunt's house for pizza. However...they were very late in coming in from chores due to a difficult emergency labor (cows, not people Smile), so we didn't have enough time to go to the restaurant. We went to our local pizza place instead and had a nice dinner (pizza and salad) for $8 - saved about $20 over the local restaurant we were going to go to, and we both agreed that we enjoyed it as much as we would have at the restaurant. It was a nice evening.
