It’s GymBucks redemption time, so this morning I tried to place my order online and my debit card wouldn’t go through.  I called the bank only to find that my account had been flagged for fraud and as a result frozen.  Apparently some upstanding citizen in ARIZONA was able to make a physical copy of my card, (I didn’t even realize you could do this), and decided to shop at the local Home Depot.  Clearly, I’m not in Arizona, although based on the temperature here, I wouldn’t mind if I was.  Now, I’m left with no working debit card and waiting 7-10 business days for a new one.  What may even be worse is that I now have to go into Gymboree and write a check *gasp*.  That place is going to be a zoo, and I’m going to look like I just crawled out from under a rock with my checkbook. 

Now skip to just a few moments ago when I was finally able to tell Denny what was going on.  (He is the master of NOT answering the telephone).  I knew exactly what he was going to say, and I was right.  “I told you technology ruins lives… blah blah blah.”  Keep in mind that the man listens to XM Radio and his station of choice is usually the 1940’s and he spends free time watching the history channelcuz he is obsessed with WWII.  I think he may have a 70 year old man trapped in his body.  Anyway, I’m fairly certain, although this is in no way my fault, that I’m never going to hear the end of it.  Crap.

Can I just go back to bed?
