12 years ago, this was a pretty memorable week. We had a Mardi Gras riot in the neighborhood and as I walked my half a block to work, about half the windows I passed were broken.  About 4 hours later, the rest of them bit it when we had a healthy earthquake. I made a quick and dirty web page for my mom.

We had a smaller one a few years after that - no damage that time.  And, that's been it.  I'm guessing we're due.  Ugh.

I have my swim class today.  One of my classmates is a tradition.  Madeline is, 75+, a retired school librarian and the definition of a little old lady.  My friend [livejournal.com profile] zimzat went to one of my Tuesday/Thursday classes that Madeline always attends and I wasn't going to be there.  I told him that as soon as he hit the water, a little white haired lady would come over and ask if he was new and tell him she was Madeline.  He reported that she did exactly that.  She's a kick.

I have some fleece shirts that I love. I have 5 of them each in a different color and she loves them but she's too little!  They are for fat girls only.  She even called the company with her measurements but they told her the shirts would swallow her.  She told me Tuesday that she was going to call back and see if she could get another operator who would find one to fit her.  Can't wait to hear.

I realized this afternoon that my Costco account expires today.  So I made a trip.  They did not have the cupcakes that I wanted - still have Valentines Day cupcakes.  I couldn't think of anything else that I wanted 4 gallons of.  They did have a nice looking sound bar which I have been thinking about for my TV but I wasn't willing to shell out the even quite cheap $179.  And I'm still not convinced I'll be able to hear the TV better anyway.

So I walked out empty handed.  We're done. It's over and you can have custody of everything.  I'm good.

Swim class was great.  I ran into Cathy from the pool that is closed and she told me the class I plan to go to on Saturday is generally packed. I'm glad to know - I can set expectations and not get pissed off.  Madelene put on my shirt and pretty much disappeared into it.  I think she's moving on now.

I am so loving the Verizon speed.  Sprint, in Seattle, is just not doable.  I can't believe I tried for so long.  I have a speed test app on my phone and sometimes I just run it to enjoy seeing that needle whip over to FAST.

I have not heard from my CPA.  I generally am foggy about my tax situation since my income for the past 8 years as been so variable.  But this year, I seriously have no idea.  I could owe $5K or be getting a $5K refund.  or more either way. I have no clue.  Starting 2013, all years should look pretty much the same tax wise.

I have not heard from that Health Savings Account.  I'm going to give it until next week before I bug that benefits admin again.  I also need to decide if I'm going to keep my May eye doctor appointment. It's my 6 month cataract appointment and all is fine. I see great. and I see no reason to spend what will probably be about $75 for her to tell me I see great.  I have time to decide.
