I'm on hold....again!

I swear sometimes it feels like a full time job keeping track of our money (and it's not like we have a lot). I feel like I'm constantly calling people trying to get our money back after they overcharge us. I've spent Jordan's entire nap time calling and sitting on hold with 2 insurance company's, 2 billing offices, the pediatricians office, the bank, and NWA. It is ridiculous! I swear people think that just b/c they have your credit card number they can charge you anytime they want. What happened to AUTHORIZING payment? I don't even want to think about the money I might have missed!

Since I have already read and responded to all my email, checked my bloglines, surfed around a little bit, and I'm still on hold, I thought I would answer this tag...

What were you doing 10 years ago?
I was a sophomore in high school and we lived in Michigan.

(I think this actually Junior year...Tiff?)


5 things on my list today:
1. go to the gym
2. make some dreaded phone calls
3. go to the grocery store
4. go to Costco
5. buy a baby shower gift

5 snacks that I enjoy:
1. apples and peanut butter
2. apples and cheese
3. chips and salsa
4. chocolate
5. nachos

3 bad habits:
1. trying to do too much
2. staying in my pjs all day
3. not answering my phone--it's not always my fault though

If I were suddenly a billionaire:
I would buy something nice for myself and then turn the rest of it over to my husband or dad to invest for me/us.

5 places I've lived:
Only five? Hmmm...how do I narrow it down?
1. Connecticut
2. Kansas
3. Michigan
4. Washington
5. DC

5 jobs I've had:
1. sold cell phones (I hated it!)
2. secretary in a furniture store
3. setup new loans for a mortgage company
4. physical therapy aide
5. worked in the scholarship office at BYU

5 things people don't know about me:
1. My ears are crooked--which drives me crazy when I wear sunglasses.
2. I don't really like to eat oranges b/c they are just too much work.
3. I LOVE to get my car washed and then admire how clean it is.
4. I hate confrontation.
5. I love to watch the Ellen show--I think she's funny.

Feel free to play along! And yes, I'm still on hold.

I dont know if this is possible but we dont use credit cards at all...gets rid of that problem. Most all my friends pay some bills,etc with credit cards and they run into the same thing. My friend waste hours each week dealing with this junk. I know sometimes it isnt possible for some people but if possible plan ahead and dont use credit cards
