Apparently I have a spending problem, at least according to First USA Bank. Today was the second time in as many months that they called me to verify my purchases. I know this is "only for my protection" and it's "just a precaution," but I choose to think they're being judgemental.
In related news, I checked back with TurboTax this evening as instructed, only to learn that my federal return was "rejected by the taxing authority." This is the first year in my whole taxpaying life that I'm actually getting a substantial refund, so I decided to file electronically for the low low price of $12.95. I did so in hopes, of course, of receiving my refund before First USA bills me for said spending spree. Rejected! I need to do some legwork to fix the mistake, so the prospects of a timely refund are quickly dwindling. Damn.
Today at work someone was talking about "fragels," fried bagels that one can find only in Lansing, Michigan. (Or so I'm told.) And here I thought that deep-fried turkeys were crazy... I wonder what other unexpected foods might taste good fried.
I finally watched Zoolander on Sunday. Though I wouldn't say it was a great movie, it did have its share of funny lines ("Sting would be another person who's a hero. The music that he's made over the years, I don't really listen to, but I respect the fact that he's making it.") And, if nothing else, I finally got to see the C-List celeb we met in Vegas this past January. He was Christine Taylor's brown-nosy assistant guy.
