Turns out that someone made use of a "convenience check" that Bank of America sent to our old address (mail no longer forwarding) and made off with $8,000. This happened in April, we learned about it yesterday (it was on a card Lani hadn't used since 2001 and forgot existed).

That's what I've been fixing.

That's one reason why I hate those "Convenience" checks. The other is the interest :eek: . If people don't read the fine print on the back they get tacken to the cleaners.

Earlier this week I:

1) Took my wife to the Dr. to remove a growth on her arm for bioptsy, resulting in 3 stitches.

2) Took my Daughter to the Dr. to get an ultra sound done for abdominal pains.

3) Took my son to the oral surgen to have two impacted wisdom teeth removed.

4) Picked up 12 prescritions from Rite-Aid.

On the same day! :eek: :evil:

I have successfully avoided killing anyone so far today. Although I have sent a large number of crickets (50-60 - average per day) and worms to their demise.

I didn't fix anything today, but I didn't break anything either. :)

I learned that I really can't sit in a restaurant next to someone with a tiny screaming baby sitting alone in it's carseat without making loud comments to the person I'm with how horrible it is that they don't just pick up their baby. :mad:

And I'm learning how to knit! I have to do ten scarves by xmas!

We cleaned the house today. Then I went to pick-up the dry cleaning and did the grocery shopping. Pavillions now has the frozen crab cakes that I love, but haven't been able to find anywhere for ages. That's a small victory, isn't it?

Oh, and tonight we're going to a dinner party at a friend's swanky MCM house that’s perched at the top of the Hollywood hills.

ummm... I solved Brenna's problems today (she is the event coordinator/wedding planner for a very large and exclusive country club here in town). She called me 4 times over the same wedding. First it was to make sure the stage was being delivered. Then it was missing csoup spoons that were not on any of her 7 orders. Later it was missing 30 chairs (she was only missing 12) and finally she couldn't find the 5' bar we sent over yesterday. She refused to talk to the more experienced person I was working with, only wanted me to fix her problems.

After I got off work I took boy out to lunch and had a nice visit with a friend while drinking a tasty beverage.

Then it was off to Cingular for 2 new phones and to increase the minutes on the rate plan.

Now it is time to relax and prepare for Nick and I to head to DLR in the very early morning hours tomorrow.

Didn't go out after all. Bill's allergies kicked in this afternoon, and he wasn't feeling well enough to go. :(

I worked today after 4 hours of Extreme Fun...

Work was on autopilot.

Oh, and yes, everyone is doing ok.

So far.
