Sometimes I AMAZE myself...

with how stupid I can be...

I thought I would pay off a credit card, so I wrote a $1600 check and stuck it in the payment envelope... a few days later, the oil man came and I decided to pay him and not the credit card. I wrote a much smaller $250 check to the credit card company put it in the envelope and promptly sent it.

This morning, I could not buy stamps with my ATM... WHAT? I went home and checked on line... OVERDRAWN $600+ UGH... I forgot to take the BIG check out of the envelope and now my credit card is not only paid off, but overpaid by $250!!

I spent the better part of the morning going to 2 different banks (where we have savings), getting out money and putting it in our pathetic checking account before other outstanding checks draw on the account. I think we're now ok, but man did I feel like a LOSER!!

Thankfully, I got to the gym before I tried to buy stamps. I did 30 min/2.79 miles on the elliptical, as well as a lower body workout. I then taught 2 swim classes - the last Tuesday of the session HOORAY!! The stress of the mornings antics have zapped my appetite, which is a good thing. Weigh in is tomorrow morning!
