I recently signed up for a Capital One credit card. The benefits to signing seemed pretty sweet at the time. No interest till January and $50 credit bonus for signing with them.

I was to receive my $50 credit to my account after a month. Last week I went on line and saw that instead of creditting my account $50 they Charged me $50!!!!!!!!!!!

I called last week to have it taken care of and the supervisor told me it would take about a week. It was not creditted so I called today and spoke to another supervisor. She was very nice and helpful and said that it was definitely their fault. It may take up to a billing cycle to get it corrected. They need to take the $50 charge off as well as credit me an additional $50.

The one good thing is since there is no interest I am not being charged for it.

It makes me upset that it is going to take so long for the credit to be posted to my account. With Capital One being such a big company shouldn’t they have someone that could see the mistake and credit it right away?

So today I feel like Capital One Sucks!

Joe wrote a business article and a couple days ago it was on the front page of Yahoo!

Since it was put up he has been getting calls and email.  He is going to be on an NPR station next week for a radio interview about the article her wrote.

It is so wonderful to see Joe getting the recognition that he deserves.  He loves writing so it makes it all the more special. 

A couple weeks ago I went back to Athens to visit with my friend Lee.

While we were there we went to see the movie Once.

It is my favorite movie of 2007!

Joe and I were away a couple weeks ago. We spent time at the shore with Dad and the family. Had a really nice and relaxing time.

We celebrated Eves 40th at Buca Di Beppos. Lots of fun!

It was nice to spend time with everyone!

Happy Birthday to Kristy!

It is Kristys 14th Birthday. Kristy is a comedian and makes me laugh all the time. Makes us laugh. She also has some mad photoshop skills!

Kristy if you are reading this Joe, myself, Calvin and Audrey hope that you have a wonderful day!

You are a true redheaded beauty! And you are a beauty inside as well. I am so glad that there is another redhead in the family! You need to carry on the firey redhead tradition! We are alot alike girl… both redheads with blue eyes and both middle children!

We love you!

Happy Birthday to our niece Claire!

She is 17 years old today!  I remember when she was little and i used to take her with me everywhere and everyone thought she was my child!  It’s funny, she looked more like me when she was 2 then she did Eve.

Claire, I can’t believe that you are 17 years old!  You are so funny and a very talented with the pics you take!  You are beautiful inside and out!

We love you!

SKIBALL!!!!!!!!!

we only played a couple days why we were away. I wish I would have had the chance to play longer,

I consider myself a good friend. I am upfront and honest and I would do absolutely anything for my friends.

I have a few friends that live out west. I was considering coming for a visit. These friends said that their homes are always open and I could come for a visit anytime.

Was thinking of taking a quick trip next weekend. Tried to get a hold of everyone and no one got back to me. The one gal is someone that I have known since I was 15 years old. We were became pen pals through teen magazine.

I can understand that it is last minute. But I just wish that they would be upfront with me and say that it is last minute and they don’t think it is going to be a good idea. I would rather have that then hear nothing from them. Hearing nothing from them is worse than no. Yes no may hurt my feelings. But not hearing anything hurts even more.

I am the type of person that would do anything for a friend and my home would always be open to any of my friends even if they called the day before. The only thing I would want is to make sure the place was clean. And that we were not traveling anywhere.

It makes me question. Did I do something to upset them? Or is it that I am just not as good of a friend in their eyes. I consider them good friends…. but maybe they don’t feel the same about me.

I hate to even think that. It sounds pesimistic. But life is too short. And I do not want to waste time on friendships with people that don’t feel the same about me as I do them.
