Voila!

Caleb (5 years old): I'd like it better if your room was cooler.
Me: Well the air conditioner is in your room now.
Caleb: I'll tell you what you should do.  Move the air conditioner into your room and voila! your room will be cool again.


Yup my 5 year old just used the word voila...and used it correctly.  What a smarty pants!

ATM - $ = Bald Bree

Costco only takes debit cards, checks or cash.  I for the life of me can't remember my pin number for my Utah debit card and I left my checkbook at home.  I realize this while I'm standing in the longest line ever...(stupid Hurricane Irene).  I don't want to get out of line to get the money at the ATM so I hope I can somehow remember my PIN while he's checking out my groceries or that Max will be able to find where I put the PIN number.  Alas neither happens.

Meanwhile, I have the light bulb idea of just getting cash from my NY bank account (I remember the PIN for this card)...I have to go to the ATM cuz there is no money in checking only savings. (pause while I attempt to explain my bank account situation and then give up cuz it's too complicated)....anyway to make a long story short the ATM machine at Costco debited my savings account $200 and spit out $20.


Now picture me with no hair because I just pulled it all out.  And I've worked so hard to get it to the length it is..which makes this all the sadder.

Costco can't do anything for me, the ATM people can't do anything for me and the bank isn't sure they can do anything for me because the receipt says I got $200.  If I had any hair left that would be gone by now, instead I almost cry in front of the manager at the bank.  Anyone know a good hairdresser who can work miracles and is cheap??
