"Do you ever use a register?"

That was the personal banker to me...My response was a blank stare followed by "A what?". This should have come as no surprise seeing as how I was sitting across from John, the kinda cute personal banker, disputing my overdraft charges. How sad that when he asked about a register all I could think of was a cash register or a wedding registry....A check register did not cross my mind. Do people still use check registers?? In this age of online banking, I hate to admit that I have never balanced my checkbook. So I've made a few decisions about my life. Most importantly, it's not as bad as I sometimes make it out to be. I've been getting a little too whiny for my liking lately. Turns out I'm happier when I'm happy so from now on, I'm gonna be happy.

Now that we have that out of the way, I've also decided to be more responsible. I can't afford any more overdraft fees. :-) I'm paying my bills on time, getting my car fixed and I might even balance my checkbook. If I can remember how to do that.

Well, I'm on vacation this week and heading up to Lake Tippy for a week with the family. Be back in a week...
