I got a call the other day telling me I am a Platinum member at BOA, and she listed off a string of services, most of which I didn't catch. But I did hear her say "free checks" and since I have a new address, and only one book of checks left, I decided to look into it.

Via online chat, I ordered 120 checks for free. They are the standard blue, no design, which suits me fine. I don't use checks a lot any more, but I do still use them. And free is good!

Today I drove to work, since I will be driving to Naperville tonight for dinner. I packed breakfast and lunch, so avoided the temptation to stop for food along the way. I already selected my dinner tonight and logged it into myfitnesspal. I will go a little over on calories today, but I have been well under all week, so this little splurge won't hurt. Really looking forward to rigatoni with vodka sauce! MMmmm.

My friend in Hyde Park emailed me yesterday to see if I was interested in a movie on Saturday. Since I'm babysitting that evening, and have all kinds of errands to do during the day, I declined. The old me would have tried to pack that into my day, but I'm getting wiser (as I get older). Between grocery shopping, haircut, laundry and a run to the mall I will be quite busy till the boys come -- and quite busy afterward, too!

Once again, another no spending day yesterday. But today, with dinner and gas, will be quite different!
