One Day At A Time....

I just accepted my first honor society invitation!!!! I'M JUST A TAD EXCITED!!!!

(For those wondering, my refund came back from Chewbacca on Friday.)   On to today's story. So with the goal of saving my money up for the i P od touch instead of just using my refund for it,   I did something fun today. I got all the change out of my armrest of my car, put it in my pigg y bank with my other coins (that  I conviently had in my car) and headed to Kroger. Kroger has a CoinStar machine. Coinstar machine counts coins....  I f   I  wanted cash, it would cost me about 9.8%....  But  I knew what  I  wanted.... AMAZON GIFT CARDS and by getting a gift card, it didnt cost me anything to count the coins! 127 quarters, 209 dimes, 104 nickels and 1231 pennies.... grand total...(insert drumroll here ) $70.16   Talk about a giant step toward my goal!

So I have been awaiting the arrival of my FAFSA refund from school.... Yes, I realize the semester is over half way over.... Yes, it frustrates the snot out of me.... Apparently taking staggered start date classes screws with your refund disbursement date. BUT..... Unlike the 18 billion other times I have checked my bank account and UT account since January, today there was a small change. Below is an email to my mom, and her response cracks me up: well the $$ is no longer in my UT account. It's not yet in my bank account either. must be in limbo land (somewhere between UT and my bank is UT's bank. it's probably there.) only a matter of time.... Mom's response? Maybe the Klingons have it and are heading, warp-speed, to Chewbaka-land! Man, I love that lady! (And if Chewie is listening, please send them back with my money, Thanks!) PS: my mom's response to that: I wouldn’t send THEM back with it, I would trust it to CP3O or R2D...

I typed up a purchase order this morning for some insulation. About 20 minutes after I faxed it over to the vendor, I receive a call that went something like this:   Julie: Good morning. This is Julie. How can I help you? Caller: We just received purchase order XXXX-XXXX for (Vendor).... We are a pizza shop. Julie: A what shop? Caller: A pizza shop. We have received about 12 faxes for (Vendor) since yesterday. So I have been calling the people who sent them to us to ensure that they are able to still get their stuff ordered, but that they need to call (Vendor). Julie: Ok, thanks for letting me know. I will call (Vendor) and see what the problem is.   After verifying that the fax number I sent the purchase order to was NOT the fax number for the pizza place, I called (Vendor) to figure out what was going on.   Aparantly (Vendor) had been having problems with their fax number/machine/line and forwarded all incoming faxes to their branch in Co...
