I loving being able to get mad about something and have it be justified.
I had this bill with a place for some lab work. I wrote my pay off check for it at the beginning of the month to pay it off early. They even cashed it. And then yesterday I got a bill in the mail saying that I was late paying and that if I didn't pay immediately that it will be sent to a collections agency to collect interest. You can imagine. I was PEEVED! So I even went to the bank and verified with them that the check was deposited to their bank. Yessiree. So I've decided that after I call and clear it up, I'll be calling the BBB to report them. If they've done it to me, I'm sure they've done it to someone else who in turn has over paid. The damn billing companies. They are determined to make more money than they are due. I hate cheating, lying corporations. It's just not right!

And then I got my new card from Washington Mutual. They switched to MasterCard, ya know, so everyone is getting a new card. That's great! Except they put my maiden name on the card. Hello. I changed it almost a year ago. What is wrong with these people. There is absolutely a total lack of communication with people today. The left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing and we're all getting screwed because of it. It's just not right.

More on that subject...I wrote a nasty letter to a bill collector who is falsely reporting things on my credit report. So I wrote a letter threatening legal action and to report them to the Better Business Bureau if they send me one more letter wanting payment, if they don't remove it from my credit report and if they call me again. (Kev I'm learning to be aloud mouth like you keep telling me I need to be. It actually makes me feel good too:) I requested my free annual credit report which I should get sometime next month, so if it hasn't been removed I'm going to start making calls and writing letters to get them to behave themselves and leave me alone.

Sheesh. People.

Ohhhh I'm so excited. Next week me and Mom and the kids are going to go to San Francisco to see an Arts and Crafts Exhibit at the DeYoung Museum. Very exciting. I'm really looking forward to going. I'm trying to do things that I like doing instead of sitting at home being afraid of my shadow and doing that thing my mom did as I was growing up..."The kids need me. We can't afford this-that-theotherthing. We'll just stay home and be miserable." No way. I'm tired of that. I want to live my life. I'm determined to start doing it, even if it's painful and scary. Otherwise I'm going to die miserable. It'll give me a chance to use my camera in a great atmosphere too which I am dying to do.

Sunday I took mom and the kids to Vacaville to the factory stores. We had a lot of fun. I got this cute hat, and two gifts for Kevin for our anniversary. It's still a little early for that, but I've been ringing my hands and working my brain overtime trying to figure out what to get him. I'm pleased with what I got. I hope he likes them. They're useful things too, so that's cool.

I have my postpartum check-up today. It was supposed to be last week, but she had to rush to deliver a baby so I had to reschedule. I didn't mind too much as it's not going to be the funnest part of my day. You'd think that after you finished giving birth to the kid you'd kind be able to give the netherlands-down-there a break. Yeah...No. I'm convinced it was a man who deemd this necessary 'cause no woman in her right mind would willingly subject herself to this type of torture. And you have to love what they tell you as they do it..."Just relax honey..." Sure. I'll get right on that.
