I’ve always wanted to be Lizzie!!! [Thank goodness I’m not like Lady Catherine!]

It’s funny that my ranking says I’m stubborn. Will mentioned that the other day when I offered to drive someone home from his house (I chose to drive even though I was tired).

Last weekend was different than I thought. The parties were fun and it was nice to see everyone again… but we didn’t actually get to painting. Will’s niece (the one who threw Elijah’s 1 year birthday party) had her second baby and so we went to see her at the hospital. [Interesting fact: Will’s family has several children within the same family who share the same birthday. Will’s brother has 2 sons with the same birthday, although different mothers & years, and his niece, had her first baby exactly 1 year before (same father)! There are more...]

Our date night was fun as we were discussing expectations for our marriage. The book Before You Say I Do is well organized but it’s so dense we have discussed reviewing the topics even after we’re married!

Dinner with Olga was nice and productive. I have a few ideas now AND many things to do!

One twist came on Friday when I received an invitation to apply for a credit card through my bank. I was so angry, I was shaking! I should say that I’m really sensitive about my credit right now! I had called the credit bureau in March to have my name taken off the distribution list (and should have immediately listed me on the do not contact/deal/advertise to her list for 5 years) AND I have had my credit on hold for the last several months on the bureau level. The other part that ticked me off was that they used my home address, which I have only given out to maybe 3 different companies; I use instead a P.O. Box for all my mailings. So, when I came home and saw the ad, I went through the roof! I contacted the bank (I have been a faithful customer for years), closed my account, and now I’m trying to talk to a knowledgeable person at the credit bureau. The moral of the story: DO NOT mail to my home address AND DO NOT MESS with my credit! One more troubling piece of information came today from the bank. The representative thought perhaps something had REVERSED my credit restrictions. OOHH!! I WILL get to the bottom of this!

I guess I am a lot like Lizzie!
