Hello ladies!
Steph: Oh man...I want an MP3 player, too! I'm thinking about going directly to the source for Christmas and saying, "Pleeeease Mommy and Daddy? Please get me an iPod!" Lol. I'd much rather have that strapped to me while I'm working out than have to lug a case of CDs to the gym and use their equipment.
HH: once more, hooray for the apartment!
I'm sorry your TOM is being annoying. Sometimes I get symptoms a few days beforehand, too, and they can really be worse than the actual period. I'm hoping you start to feel better soon!
Maggie: I have a really great friend who recently made a similar discovery about her boyfriend's ex, but then she realized that he chose
her. You know what's odd about guys? They're not quite as hung up on weight as we are. Just remember to continue on your path to healthiness for your own good and nobody else's.
You're doing great!
Amy: Ooo...get your hair cut! Cupboards can wait, but hair is much more important.
I love going and getting pampered for the day. You should definitely go have fun, especially since you don't get a whole lot of time to yourself.
Well, remember when I had all the problems registering for the GRE because it wouldn't go through on my credit card? Turns out my payment to my personal trainer didn't go through on my credit card. A phone call to Capital One revealed a fraudulent charge of more than $2,000 at a jewelry store and they had frozen my account. Ha! Like I can afford to spend something like that on jewelry! 45-minute conversation between two representatives of Capital One (in America, I believe) shortened: my account number has been deleted from the system, I am not liable for that charge, and I will be issued a new card in 7-10 days. I believe what happened was that my card number was stolen from DSW--I had received a letter from them in the mail a couple of weeks ago saying their computers were hacked into and a bunch of personal information was stolen. So, that's my suspicion. I asked the woman I spoke to who handled my fraud claim if there was anything I could do to protect my identity further, if there were any more steps I needed to take. She said that there weren't because according to Capital One, my account is completely nonexistent and any further attemps to charge that account would fail. Thank God.
So, all that's taken care of. I paid my personal trainer by check rather than credit card this month, but by September I should be back on track. *shakes head* I'm telling you...that was really scary and definitely frustrating. I didn't get the full amount of the fraudulent charge because every time they mentioned the exact number, my ears started ringing. Lol. The best I could get was $2,000, though I know it's at least a hundred dollars more.
So as soon as I came home from the gym, I had to deal with that for an hour, so now I'm all stinky...really stinky. Blech. And I have an ***-load of laundry to do. The next goal of mine: get my own washer and dryer. I hate having to lug my laundry to the on-site facilities here, especially in this heat. Blah. Lol...actually, I just really hate to do laundry. Lol. And while my laundry's going, I'm gonna be reading
Confessio Amantis. It's Wednesday now. The goal: have that 494-pager all finished and read by Friday night, so that I can enjoy myself when my parents are in town.
Have a great Wednesday ladies!
