Friday the effing 13th

So I'm not normally superstitious, but after yesterday's fiasco's I can't help but be.

On Thursday Jon comes home ranting and raving because they (meaning the university) towed his Honda. It had been sitting in one of the visitor parking spots for some time now because it doesn't work. He had been trying to fix it but to no avail, and I guess people in the complex had been bitching and whining about it sitting there. I'm sorry, but is there any reason you can't grow a pair and confront ME personally about the problem? Be an adult about it. Ugh. We had to call Jon's parents and they came down with the pickup and the trailer to get it out of the impound lot, for $133 no less. Ugh again. And here's the kicker, Jon took off work to help get it out of the lot, well, the front desk at BV gave them the WRONG ADDRESS for the impound lot!!!!! I thought Jon was going to get in a lot of trouble with the bitchy-boss but I guess it was okay. His parents took the car back to their house so at least the car's not MY headache anymore.

Then, we get up on Friday and realize that, hm, he's $18 in the NEGATIVE even AFTER HIS $270 PAYCHECK! Apparently Jon had written a check for $50 to the tool guy, told him not to cash it until Friday, BUT, stupid tool guy completely ignored his requests. Then the worst part is that we now have FIVE overdraft fees, FIVE! All for 37.50. But his account shows NOTHING ever in the negative! Even now, NOTHING was ever negative! Not even after his overdraft fees, because they came directly out of his paycheck. He went in to talk to the bank yesterday and argued with the personal banker because they were in the wrong with the overdrafts. He said that he would have to talk to the manager to see if they could get the overdraft fees reinstated. Well, Jon told them they either reinstate that money or he's closing his account and they won't ever get his business again. So far they have put ONE overdraft fee back in. OMG! Like THAT is going to make up for you poor business practices. We're over it. Even if they do put them all back the account is getting closed. Piece of shit banks.

On a good note, I did some more Daytona 500 deals! Woo-hoo! I did pay more OOP then I wanted to, but what keeps me going is that I paid less for 10 items than I would have for JUST the 2 packs of diapers I bought. My total after coupons was $19.20, and the total for the 2 packs of Huggies alone would have been $19.98. I also went to Target where the Gilette Fusion are on sale for $7.99, buy 2 get a $5 Target gift card. There are $4/1 coupons in the P&G from this past weekend which make the razors $3.99. So for around $9 I got 2 Fusions Razors and a $5 GC for future deals. Yay! That one was fun though because Jon went and did the deal, my bargain hunting boy! lol. I really wanted to do the BRU wipes deal this weekend and a couple RiteAid transactions, so I hope that the bank puts the money back in so I can do a BRU deal before the President's Day sale is done.

Sorry this is long, but a Molly sidenote too. My girl can eat, and eat and eat. She has a GREAT appetite and I have yet to find a food she will refuse, until now. She loves her veggies, carrots and peas and squash and sweet potatoes, LOVES the veggies. She's not a fruit girl though, she will eat bananas and apples, but not a whole lot more. I did get her to eat some blueberries though, alone and in a tofu smoothie. She likes avocados too, which is great because it's a superfruit with tons of nutrients. BUT...she HATES peaches! She will put them in her mouth, kind of lick it for a second, and then spit it right back out. The first time she did that I thought she was just getting used to it and I would introduce it a couple other times and she would be fine. Nope, they had peaches for lunch and snack (yeah, who thought of that? Same thing for snack as lunch?) and she would not eat them! She ate potatoes though for lunch and graham crackers for snack, but would not touch the peaches. Too funny.
