This Post is Crazy
Honestly. What day is it? Oh yeah. Tuesday. Two days before I leave for BlogHer. I’m so out of my mind today, that I asked Doug what the date was, three times, and he was all, “July 21st…all day long…you should know…you wrote three checks today.” Why yes, yes I did write three checks today, but I probably got the dates wrong on them, and no one bothered to tell me.
For those of you wondering why I wrote checks, it’s because we don’t have debit cards for our joint checking. We canceled them after a fraud incident and never bothered to get new ones, because really, not having debit cards has proven to be quite effective in money management. No seriously, we actually have money left over at the end of the month, after paying bills and buying necessities like groceries and toilet paper and beer. The beer is for Doug, not me. DUH.
Without debit cards, we don’t have the urge to buy anything because that would mean we’d have to make like a caveman and actually dig out the thing called a check book and write a dollar amount and sign our names. Like the olden days. You know before debit cards.
So, we don’t spend much money. Today I wrote a check to the garage for an oil change on my car, another for the grocery store because apparently the huz and the kid still have to eat while I’m in Chicago partying like a pregnant rock star, and the third check was to Target for bras, underwear and deoderant. I bought bras and underwear because my current undergarments no longer fit due to the expanding belly and breasts. And I needed deoderant because it would be a crime to stink you all to death in Chicago. You can thank me later.
So. Yeah. Now I have to concentrate on packing and making sure I don’t forget anything before I leave on Thursday. If I don’t start tonight, I’ll be in the Windy city paying $6 for a razor or bottled water. Or whatever.
I have no idea what the point of this post was, but now you have proof, actual evidence, that I am crazy. CRAZY.
See you in Chicago.

Wait – businesses still take checks? Where have I been?? I thought they required background and security checks and manager approvals and stuff….
Have fun at Blogher!

This is cute. The last time I wrote a check everyone looked at me like I was so barbaric! LOL Getting a debit card w/a Visa symbol did for me what writing checks is doing for you. No more cc finance charges and no more binge buying.
Have fun at the conference.
