there's a first time for everything.

god i am so depressed. i did something i have NEVER done in my life... i bounced a check and became overdrawn on my checking account.
OH, NO WAIT...
instead of using my chase continental card to purchase our first-class continental tickets to mexico, i used the visa check card. so now, i am $1200 overdrawn in my checking account.
they don't call 'em dumb blondes for nothing.

seriously. i sat down at the computer a few nights ago. we had already booked our hotel, we just needed to decided on flight times. we found the flights we wanted, and i grabbed bryan's wallet to get the credit card number. but instead of pulling out the black credit card, i pulled out the blue check card. how someone can mistake the two, i'll never know. but i'm also that person will inevitably push a door that says pull, and just recently figured out that the name u-haul came from the idea that YOU HAUL, so go figure.
in my defense, i was probably distracted by all the boob-fondling bryan does when he's within a 5 feet radius of me. yes, i said 5-feet. the guy is way tall and when there are boobs in the vicinity, he has the reach of elastic-man. it's quite an amazing feat i tell you.

so back to feel-sorry-for-me-and-buy-me-something-pretty-to-make-me-feel-better-aren't-i-cute-with-my-
bottom-lip-stuck-out-like-this. so i call continental to switch cards, and after explaining to the agent my dilemma, she tells me it won't do much good. crediting my bank account could take several days, maybe even over a week. WELL THAT DOES ME NO FUCKING GOOD YOU DUMBSHIT. oh my goodness, did i say that out loud? i know my mother heard that.

so then i call my bank. i busted out my most pitiful voice and pushed my boobs up... oh wait, he can't see them over the phone... ah well, it never hurts.
"i really totally screwed up and made a mistake and charged the wrong thing to my checking account, would you pretty please mind waiving any fees that are incurred as a result of my stupidity? i am a very loyal customer and have no prior discrepancies with your fine organization, and i would very very much appreciate any help you could give me... and did i mention your hair looks nice today? i'll be your best friend......."
the guy-that-kinda-sounded-cute said that no fees had yet been charged to my account, so until they do, he can't waive said fees. but if i call back, he's sure the bank would be happy to waive all or most of the fees. *phew*

but wait... i am still overdrawn and i have some checks that haven't yet cleared the account. so i have to call my maid ohmygodhowembarrasing and ask her not to cash the check i gave her on monday. the woman drives a dented truck with a missing window, has a son with down's syndrome, and actually took bananas out of my trash and took them home, and i have to ask her if i can pay her double next time, since my first-class tickets purchase messed up my account. very classy indeed. BUT, i am so totally going to plant a tree or something this weekend to get my karma up back where it needs to be. but that also sounds like a lot of work. maybe watching my tivo'd dr. phil and eating a pickle would be better.

so i was forced to pull $1200 out of my butt so i can deposit it in my checking account TODAY so that nothing else bounces. and that was not easy my friends. let's just say it involved the ads in the back of the houston press and thigh-high vinyl boots. and bryan, if you're reading this, i am totally kidding. i happened to find $1200 exactly in cash in our cookie jar. i know, i couldn't believe it either. but it was there, and golly gee was i glad it was. saved the day. i love you.
