Recap of Today
Posted on November 11, 2007 by Ching under Flickr, Life.
Today has been pretty interesting. I had a 9:00 AM waxing appointment at Beau Monde that I almost missed. My reminder on my phone said my appointment was 10:15 AM. At about 9:15 I called over there to double check the appointment time because I thought I heard the girl say 9:00 AM on my reminder phone call. I had deleted the voicemail already, though, so I couldn’t play it back. But I was thinking, it can’t be 9:00 AM because I have 10:15 AM on my phone.
I’m really glad I called over there because it turns out that my appointment was for 9:00 AM. Thankfully, Patricia’s appointment after me came early so she was finished with her and had time to squeeze me in. Good thing we live pretty close to the spa.
At first I thought it was the time change that messed up my phone reminder. Brian figured it out, though. The reminder I had on my phone was an old reminder for my appointments at Individually Yours. I normally schedule appointment for the entire year so I had the reminder already saved on my phone. He concluded that I forgot to delete it and thought that it was my Beau Monde appointment.
Patricia is now at Beau Monde so I moved over there with her. I only scheduled my next two appointments, November 24th and December 8th. I think next time I go I will go ahead and schedule the rest of my appointments for 2008 so I can make my phone reminders. Brian and I went ahead and schedule a couples massage for December 8th also. We figured it could be our Christmas for each other. Brian had a massage from Janelle two weeks ago but it has been almost six months since my last one. I haven’t had a massage since our couples massage at Couples Ocho Rios. I need one real bad.
After my waxing appointment, Brian and I grabbed a quick breakfast at McDonald’s and then went to Target. I received a gift card there for my birthday and hadn’t had the opportunity to use it until today. I found a black short-sleeved blazer for $24.99 and then while we were there we found some other tops for me to get. I have to get some more professional clothes because we are moving to a much nicer building with a much stricter dress code soon.
I love Target because they have some awesome deals. I thought I would take some pictures and start a Christmas wish list for Brian. I took some good photos, but one of the things I was thinking of putting on his Christmas wish list he decided to buy right then.
We found this 125 PSI 6-gallon air compressor with a bonus nail kit on sale for $79. Brian’s dad has a 100 PSI non-portable one that cost him more than twice that. Needless to say, we ended up getting it because we were afraid that they would sell out before Christmas. It was such a good deal that Brian’s dad and his friend Brad decided to get some for themselves too. So now Brian’s dad has two air compressors. Why you would need two is beyond me. Guys always make fun of women for having five pairs of black shoes, but they do the exact same thing only with power tools.
Anyway, we had set aside some money for our Kansas City trip this weekend so I think we will be okay with today’s expenditures. Brian and I don’t like to keep a balance on our one and only credit card so it will get paid off on Monday night as soon as we return.
Actually, Brian refuses to use the credit card even though it earns us points. He keeps insisting on using the debit card. I can’t seem to convince him that we benefit more if we use the credit card because we will earn points for every dollar spent; where as we don’t get anything for using the debit card. Besides that, there is the added convenience of not having to balance the checkbook as frequently since you just have to pay one place at the end of the month instead of paying multiple different places. I can’t seem to sell him on the idea. I might just have to do a financial analysis of our monthly expenses to show him how many free gift cards we would earn by simply using our credit card instead of our debit card. We are totally missing out.
