Wednesday June 10, 2009

Worst Part of the Day - I popped into Total Wines to purchase ... well some wine and my credit card was not working. I was about to pull out another one when the manager was called over and he grabbed my card and called AmEx on the phone. I'm thinking - huh, I wonder if this is about me using all my points on the iMac. But then they ask to talk to me and once I verify that I am the one true Mary Lovett Reitter (whoever that is), they ask if I spent $527 at ToysRUs on Saturday? Um, nope. Also there was $120 at ABC Liquor and then $13 at McDonalds all charges in or around Kissimmee, Florida. It turns out that someone got my credit card number and MADE a card and then used it (until their fourth charge at Foot Locker got denied as mine at Total Wines did because AmEx put a 'hold' on the card. I asked how they knew it wasn't me and she said that she didn't know how the security perimeters worked, just that they ding the card when there is suspicious behavior.) BUT the REALLY weird thing is that this happened to my sister-in-law one week ago!! I'm wondering if the last place we ate at is running some sort of credit card numbers scam. Paranoid? Maybe - but that is one hell of a coincidence.

Best Part of the Day - It's o so leisurely to walk around Pier One (why? Because it happened to be right there) with no kiddos, cup of coffee in hand.

Is that YOU? After getting a haircut today, the stylist blew my hair straight. Upon picking up the boyz there was plenty of double takes and startled faces. Quinn's teacher said "we recognized your car but were not sure WHO was driving it." It's always fun to be straight haired for a bit.
