credit card trauma

-
sometimes i wish i lived in the time when you paid for something with something else...like if i wanted bread i would give the baker/bread maker some flowers or whatever i had that he wanted...you know like paying with chickens or ducks or even small children...i kid i kid...i just got real irritated this evening/morning dealing with a credit card company...not saying names but david spade seems to like them...i thought i had closed the account a year ago when i consolidated like three i had open onto one witn 0% apr you know...and i did not know that this magazine subscription co. had that card on file and just renewed a subscription in june! which i did not know! so i am trying to purchase a town house now and go to see if can get approved for a loan and i am just going thru making sure all my cards are closed an what not...go on line to this cc and find that i have past due fees for the past two months....i am shocked and appaulled b/c this was closed...well long story a little shorter...after talking to 3 workers none of them could help me at all i asked for just one cancelation of the fee not like both months... but NOOOOOOO...so i guess they are the company on the comercial always saying no!
i type all this b/c i get frustrated with money...i am paid well...i am not complaining...i am upset that for some reason no matter how hard i try to be good with my money i get something freaky like this happen you know...either i have a hard time making my ends meet or there is something stupid that takes what i do have!!! can you feel me or am i moron!

In sociology the other day we saw a documentary thing about Credit Cards, and those guys are real B-words, they hate people who pay off their cards on time and watch them closely for when they slip up and slam them with "fees" and "charges" aka: their paycheck bonus! And did you know that if you split the debt of america up and give an equal portion to each man, woman and child in the US that each person would owe over $8000....sad...I hate credit card companies....may they fry in eternal damnation

this exact thing is why i don't have or use credit cards. i pay for everything in cash. if i can't pay cash for something then I obviously don't need it. period. no ifs/ands or buts about it. it sucks sometimes but everything I have I've paid cash for. that's my way of saying "screw you Mr. credit card company!"

What's Next?

This week is the first week of a new schedule for me. I am cutting my 'hours' in half at work. This means i go from the 40 hours a week to 20 in office hours. I am excited to see what God has next for me. As most of you know ministry isn't in an office, but the office time was suffocating me. So now there is freedom, freedom to do what i am not sure just yet. I have mentioned before Andrew and i's desire to minister to our lil townhouse circle, so i am praying for vision and opportunity there. Being domestic and a untired, focused wife to Andrew is another desire of mine. Don't have much to say just yet...i am excited on this new adventure. I will keep you posted as God shows me what the path his he has for us Kimmels :) He is a good God and i am glad He loves me! It is for freedom he set us free. It is for freedom i cut my pay in half :) hahaha

Spooky things afoot

The other night we heard a knock on the door...upon my answering there was no one there...just a plastic pumpkin filled with goodies and two pieces of paper. It said we had been "Booed". Something spooky was going on in our neighborhood and if we didn't want to get it again we were to tape the other picture to our door.    Since i couldn't find tape i used post-it notes...sad i know. haha There was a poem that came with it explaining how you are to make two more buckets/baskets, copy the two papers and pass it on by ding dong ditching them! I asked my neighbor and friend Kati to go with me cause Kimmel was at the football game. It was very exciting and crazy...i had never ding dong ditched...at least that i remember and i think i would remember something that fun! :) If you live in a neighborhood this is a great way to spread fun and get to know each other. I wish i kept a copy of the poem...but i am sure you can make something up that would be perfect! Happy sp...

Since my sister's wedding when i was in 10th grade i have been in a total 13 weddings, none my own. At one point mom told me i needed to stop saying yes! I actually used two of the dresses twice believe it or not! :) It was a privilege to have girls in my wedding knowing that they trusted and loved me long time ago to be in their wedding and were willing and happy to come be in mine. This fall i have the honor of being in my best friend since 1st grades wedding-Amber, and Andrew's best friend's Kyle- we are both in that one! It is exciting to watch the stories unfold and share in their special day. I was at a shower for Maddie and Kyle's wedding this past weekend and i snapped a picture of this lil centerpiece the hostess had made. I thought it was really sweet and i had to share! One of the annoying thing about 'cute' couples is when they giggle. But its only annoying when you aren't that couple, minus public displace of giggling and such i find that aw...
