I forgot to mention yesterday that BF got some free canned dog food from his work. Apparently the company had shipped the wrong quantity, and it would've expired before they could sell all of that kind, so his boss told him he could just take it home. They are the mini-cans, so we'll have to use two to mix in our big pup's meals, but free nonetheless!

I just checked our BBT account to see if those two "fake" transactions were cleared yet, and something even weirder has happened. Now instead of the two separate transactions, there is just one amount ($470.93) labeled as "Balance Adjustments". Why would they move to that category? For a second I thought that must mean they were about to clear from the account, but then I noticed that the $470.93 is still being "held" from my available balance. I hope it's all okay by Saturday!!!

Currently, there are people outside our apartment building setting off fireworks. I'm all for celebrating, but why couldn't they wait until the actual 4th? It's 10 PM and they are setting off some pretty loud ones. It doesn't bother us, but I can just imagine that we will all have notes on our doors tomorrow morning from the property management.

I got into a baking mood tonight. I used the stuff we already had to make some homemade biscuits, which are one of BF's favorites. He's really a bread person for some reason. Then since I already had flour everywhere, I went ahead and whipped up a batch of homemade chocolate chip cookies. The recipe said fluffy - and they ain't kiddin. They were almost like cake!

All of this took place AFTER I cleaned the kitchen. (It didn't make sense to me either.) Needless to say, I'll be wiping everything down again tomorrow afternoon after work.

Speaking of cleaning, I didn't get as much accomplished today as I would have liked. With all the bill-paying, account-balancing, freaking out, and driving forever trying to find a bank, my cleaning time was cut short. What I did manage:

=Pick Up Living Room
=Vacuum Living Room & Hallway
=Organize Pet Closet
=Take Pup On A Walk
=Sweep Kitchen
=Clean Kitchen Counters
=Mail BF's Student Loan Payment
=Balance Checkbook
=Wash Dishes
=3 Loads of Laundry (Washed & Put Away)

So overall, not a bad day. I called my mom and she confirmed that they are still coming up this weekend. Apparently it's just going to be her and my littlest brother. I don't know why I had thought my other brother was coming too. Hmm.

Someone is supposed to be coming on Monday evening to pick up the pup's crate for $50. Not bad, considering we've used it for 4 months and it was only around $75 new. Hopefully she really shows up!
