I performed my annual dishwasher maintenance. This involves taking all the pieces that actually come off, off. My very expensive appliance tends to get build-up of nasty grit and food that makes clean dishes impossible. I don't mind though, it keeps my mind off my mamo "screening". I can't tell you how much "cancer" and "screening" vocabulary together ruins my day. My best friend tells me to get over the "fear" but until they tell me OK, I am always a wreck. Anyway cleaning the appliance was also therapuetic for another reason.
Hubby had this brilliant idea to go over our finances-DAILY-to see where all the money goes. As he is doing this he asks me about some monthly payments that aren't very specific and always the same amount. They have no meaning for me so he investigates. He finds out that in my frenzy of online shopping that I have not once but TWICE clicked a coupon code the website offered-or some pop up offered. In doing so I have been getting charged since then for monthly fees for "discounts" that I have never flippin used. Yes your Dave Ramsey fan hubbies would be having a stroke right now. Apparently these places have very FINE PRINT at the bottom of the pop up that tells you the fee is ongoing until you cancel it. NOW here is the kicker-I don't do FINE PRINT-case in point we are paying for Martial Classes that nobody goes to (for 18 months). Hubby is working on calling the Better Business Bureau for the one for 800.00 plus dollars, yes that's right!
So I am thinking about fine print as I am frenzily (I don't think that is a real word) rearranging the dishwasher parts, hoping they all fit together. And hope that my bosses never read my blog. I hope they never find out that I, in all my leadership responsiblities and their trust, find out I don't read the "fine print".
Life is just too short

It's called "Being Human" and we all have fallin pray at some point or another.
I will put in some words to the big man that the cancer stays away! Beyond that, I can't tell you how you should feel, I have not been there in your shoes. Let us know when you get the all clear.
oh gosh. i am so glad it's not just ME!
i have been paying for quickbooks online since Jan....have not used it YET. probably some other stuff, too.
dang. why don't they make that fine print BIGGER?!
ps. what chris says :)
hopefully the mamo is over and all is well. i always feel like a little kid when the husband finds out i have done something stupid with money. or when i run the explorer out of gas and have to ask for a ride. you know. "being human" things :)
Karen told me I didn't have permission to worry so guess I won't. Carey-my hubby just rolled his eyes, I try I really do. Bobbi-maybe I need better glasses!
