Ack ... not much time to think here ... where in the world did the day go?!!

Hi … this is me. It’s already late in the afternoon and I expect our friend to be here in about 45 minutes. We’re going to order out for something. Hopefully Chinese or maybe we could get pizza. I know just regular stuff. But!!! I’m getting our friend over sooner than later so we’re just gosh darn happy that he’s on his way. We’re on a friend binge where we adore his presence. WooHOOO!!!!

Hehehe he called AGAIN! Turns our he was expecting US to make the decision. He figured it was one of those guy things where he won’t get yelled at if he gives the female the option. I could see his good logic there, but felt guilty for if I made the wrong choice. So, together we worked it out. I turned down the shrimp and crackers. He sort of turned away from the good deli sandwich and pizza, so I was figurin he really has a taste for Chinese. Chinese is my FAVORITE meal. I thought I should do us both a favor that’s scary for my tummy, but I suggested that we get the same meal, so neither of us ate so much. Well, caught his attention, but that was a little too scary for him. So, we’re at a compromise where we’re going to order TWO meals, but get the small instead of the large. We told him that it would save him some money too so in total be a great decision.

We were both ok with that. He talked of a couple ways he was saving money and that let me feel good. Because the last thing a friend ever wants to be is a burden on anyone. He’s never made me feel like that, but I’ve always tried to not ask. I do think we should check the money and see if we can make another payment to him for either groceries or dentist. I want to stay on top of things.

Hmm… not sure what to do there. It looks like my deposit is pending, but that they paid my rent check. But in the process we over spent and was charged about $100 insufficient funds. We weren’t going to do that anymore. I guess we don’t really have any money until that check clears and when it does clear half the check is already gone. We had figured that check was going to cover what it did, but it would have been nice for it to clear before the rent check so it didn’t upset my account again… shoot gotta ask for some help in understanding how to balance that all, but if we do … sweetie is going to see we were being not so good and went to Burger King one day and the Chinese place another day. Looking at it … seems like I would have been ok if the rent check hadn’t cleared on the 29th. My thought was that it should clear on the 3rd giving my check a chance to clear. Let’s see if I can make that happen.

Oh man that was too totally frustrating. I was at the edit accounts, but the started or pay due date was not given as an option to change. Because the initial date was 2/28/06, it wouldn’t let me change and it wouldn’t even advance a screen because it said it couldn’t go back and cover 2/28 because the time had passed. There wasn’t an easy option to email for help … we just got a phone number that I know is terrible. It’s all hooked up to a machine that doesn’t allow easy access to a person. I know when I have gotten a person it has been helpful, but I don’t have the time nor patience right now to do it. I’d much rather be getting ourselves ready for our dear hearted friend. Let’s see … he said he’d be here now by ACK 12 minutes! Hey you … better get in the shower fast!

YIKES! Gotta go!
