yesterday after i finished hanging out with my new cool friends (because my other friends have abandoned me) i decided to swing by meijer and grab a few things before the kids nap time. it was a quick trip with just a handful of necessary items and a stop for ice cream at the purple cow at the request of my daughter.but a few hours later, my bank called me to ask if i was aware of "excessive activity" on my bank card and if i was in new york. after confirming that i was indeed here, she said that there were fraudulent charges in nyc and at my local meijer store within 30 minutes of each other and that was what alerted them. so yesterday, someone got some liquor, godiva chocolates and a metro card and was on their way for a romantic weekend on my dime.
in the meantime, i'm out $600 and banned from my account for about ten days while the charges are disputed and reversed. i'm on a cash-only basis for a while. so, if you want to take me out to lunch, i'll go...but you pay! even adam was very grateful for my compulsive shopping habits and my very random stop to meijer.

I feel for ya - I had the same thing happen two weeks ago on my bank account.
Racked up over $2500 in charges.
Took almost 2 weeks to clear up, but it was a royal pain in the ass not having any cash on hand.
oh my god jeremy- i had no idea!
We had a similar incident years ago and it took FOREVER to clear it up. I'll take you to lunch. How about one day next week?
Okay so we've talked about the CC now but I still have to ask, what's up with the super snottiness about your new cool friends?
i was just taking a stab at my friends who lurk on this blog but never call or email anymore.... anyone, anyone, bueller???
