Day One...

So here I am again, starting another blog. Hopefully this one will keep going. :-)

Let's start with last Friday (June 11, 2010) and go from there. Now, for a little while, I've wanted to treat myself to a gaming system. Friday, I decided to buy and Xbox 360 Elite. So I went on the Best Buy App, for my iPhone, and the first time I tried to purchase it, there was an error. The App kicked me back to the checkout and I redid the purchase, which went through. Well, when I looked at my bank account, my checking and savings accounts were at $0.00 and my credit card was charged. It looks like I bought 2 Xboxs, instead of 1. Since I have overdraft protection, the bank took the money from my savings and credit card to make up the purchase price.

So that incident led to calling the bank and filing a claim, calling Best Buy (who luckily canceled the 2nd purchase), and caused me to almost have a heart attack. Now I'm just waiting for the charges to go through. Then I'll need to contact the bank, so they can put the money back in the right accounts....what a mess...


Due to this situation, I pretty much had no money all weekend. Our food was getting low (I live with my parents), and the parents were also low on cash. Pretty much we were almost starving yesterday (Monday, June 14). Now I'm not very religious, but yesterday I believe that I had help from God. I was so hungry, I hardly had a breakfast, no lunch, and I only had a TV dinner to look forward to at work and some wheat thins. But I believe God helped me out. If it weren't for the miracle of finding some food at work, I wouldn't have made it through the night. All I have to say is Thank You God.
But at the end of the night, I had another problem....my student loan company called and left me a message that my student loan had gone into repayment, even though I'm going back for another degree after I graduate in a week...I had sent a form to them, but evidently they didn't get it...so today (Tuesday) I had to fill out and fax another form. Let's hope they received it.

As for today, since I got paid, now I spent lots of money on groceries. So now I have so much food that I'm stuffing myself and getting a tummy ache. Oh well, I'm just happy I have food right now. Especially, since it's Law Day at work, we get free sundaes... yum....

For now, everything is going good. I just hope I don't have anything else happen this week.
