Take the money and RUN

So, on Monday, November 30, I got a new car. Apparently, the last day of the month is THE day to buy a new car. The dealership offered me WAY more than anyone had on my car and I took it! And they even knew the car was broken! I am now a proud owner of a brand new Acura RDX. (Well, the Honda bank is actually the owner, I'm just the proud driver.)

I'm going to Knoxville December 13 and staying until further notice.

I fired Charter cable in Auburn. They kept calling me about paying my bill. The thing that got me mad was when I signed up for it, the only way they allowed me to pay my bill was by giving them a credit card number to bill monthly. If they want my bill paid on time, they need to charge my card in time. Duh! So, I fired them because I have gone without 90210 and reliable internet since September. And I keep getting phone calls for not one, but at least two, people who used to have my phone number and that was a ridiculous headache in and of itself. Oh! And when Charter calls you about paying the bill, they actually have a message when you pick up your phone telling you to call them. So, when I called them, they didn't recognize ANY of my phone numbers and I didn't have any account numbers since, I bet you can guess, they don't send me bills very regularly.

It's supposed to snow tonight. I must decide whether to buckle down and go to Auburn today or enjoy the snow in Birmingham. Decisions, decisions.

I also have to pay my taxes. The joys of being self-emplyed and having TONS of medical bills, and a crappy car, and a stupid cable service, and the list can go on forever about all the incompetent people I have dealt with in the past few months. Let's not forget the insurance company who charges an arm and a leg and doesn't cover anything. They're going to get fired as soon as I can get in touch with someone.

The decorations are still NOT up. Yet. If I stay in Birmingham this weekend, they will be. I hope.
