Greetings from Milpitas

So, it has been 3 weeks since I have moved up here to my sister's house and I have to say, I have a lot of down time here. I mean, I am going to class and reading and studying and entertaining my nephew and niece, but other than that, I have just had a lot of time to myself. So what exactly have I been doing?

Nothing really. I have been doodling possible shirt designs and making jewelry when my niece and nephew aren't near me and getting their hands into everything. I will start scanning the pictures to post. (Maybe people can vote on what they like or not. That would be a great help!) I have also been reading for my class. Nothing too exciting. I AM going to be making a costume for myself and for my nephew though, so I will post pictures once I get cracking on that.

So with all this time, I was thinking I should start blogging again, so with that, here is the first entry in like....FOREVER XD

Credit Card and Memory Fail!

So, today was shopping day for work and I was getting some things for the kiddies Harvest of the Month activity for this Thursday.  As I was picking up the last few things I needed, I got this phone call from my father saying that my credit card company had just called and said they wanted to verify the activity on my card.  Well, I DID spend quite a bit recently...2 online purchases and airline tickets that might have looked funny, so I told him I would go back as soon as I was done to call.

So, after doing a few work things, I went back home and called the company and I was verifying a bunch of things...

man: "when was the last time you used your card?"

me: "umm...well I have been using it all week...I made 3 online purchases, ae, yesstyle, virgin america airlines..."

man: "any little purchases?"

me: "OH!  I went to a bakery yesterday and bought my mom a cake?"

man: "$14.95?"

me: "yes"

man: "and you purchased something from american eagle outfitters.... $83..."

me: "yes"

man: "and a purchase that was ($400 something)"

me:  "what?"

man:  "($400 something)?"

me:  "ummm... where was this at?"

man: "DSW"

me: "ohhhhhhhh...yeaaaah, me sister and I took my mom shopping...I forgot about that"

man: "well, nothing seems irregular then.  MasterCard called and notified us that some credit card numbers were stolen and yours was one of them."

me: "realllllllly...so what happens now?"

man: "we will issue you a new card and you will get it 7-10 days."

me: "well...that is really the only card I use..."

man: "we can expedite a new one to you and you should get it in 24 hours or at latest Friday"

me: "is that an extra charge on me?"

man: "no, I can definitely get that waived for you"

me: "okay, great."

After this conversation, I realized one thing, other than dealing with all of this is a big hassle and that is...I am spending a lot and  I am NOT remembering what I am charging...and that is NOT a good thing -_-

Shopping Cart Failure

So, I am not sure if it is the site or if it is just because I am stupid, but I have been struggling to place this order on ae.com and I got as far as confirming my information and then when I click to place my order, the damn site shoots me back to my shopping cart and on the bottom, there is this ad to spend money on your ae card and you could go to NY.  I don't really care about that.  I just wanted to place my order, but I can't.  I have been trying since 1:00 am and then at 9:00 am and then at 11:00 am.  Same problem.  

FAIL American Eagle Outfitters.

This is a sign and it is telling me I have too many articles of clothing and I don't need to waste my money on more things like this.
