Yes, so this day...
After the nice outdoor shower, Hannah and I have to rush downtown to get her to a 9 am doctor appointment. So, off we go. I drop her at the door and say that I am going to sit in the car and read the NYT on my Kindle while I sip a cup of coffee.
I manage to get through one article (a funny one, about the horror show that is called "Christie Brinkley's divorce") and suddenly, at the door of the car, there is Hannah. "They said the appointment is tomorrow, mom, not today--and it's been cancelled for tomorrow, anyway."
Grrrr.
I get back to the office (after a detour to Shaw's) and find the appointment card: as clear as day: 7/8/08 at 9 am. Of course, by now, it's 10 am so the appointment slot is gone (if it ever existed).
Her prescription needs a refill which means I need to call the prescription line and then I have to schlep back to the office to pick that up! What a PIA.
Oh, and did I mention, it's 87 degrees and humid?

Today's shopping tip:
Have you seen the Coinstar machines in various places, like grocery stores? Some of them--not all--give gift cards to a variety of places, including (my favorite) Amazon!
Dump your money in, pick gift card and voila!
The good thing is...if you want money back for your money, they take an 8.9% processing fee. But with a gift card, you get the full amount.
So...clean out those jars of coins you have laying around your house. There's money in them there coins!

Oh, wow! I didn't realize they give you the full amount when you choose a gift card. That's smart of them. It's a win win win situation.
BTW, I thought your story of the bills and coupons was going to be worse, that you had done something like put the recycling in your bill drawer and thrown your bills out. :)

Congrats to Mikaela on 2000 of my favorite BetterMost posts, and to Paul, who is already proving himself an asset as a mod. Hugs to both!
