Sunday

My Sunday swim buddy was a no show this morning. I had the entire pool to myself for the first 45 minutes. As I finished up and got out, all of a sudden it got crowded. Weird.

While I was swimming, I figured out that if I went to brunch at the place I've been wanting to try, when I finished, Papa Murphy's would be open and I could get a pizza for dinner!

I am a meal planning wizard today.

The brunch place turned out to be really nice and comfortable. As I was coming home and thinking about it, I realised that really the food was only a little better than ok. The booth was very comfortable and the service was top notch. It was easy to get to with easy parking. So even with OK+ food, I'll be going back. And I got my pizza.

On today's list o' todo's is to charge up my swimming iPod Shuffle and swizzle up the music on it. And sew and maybe watch a movie. I finished up my audio book last night. Maria Semple's latest - Today Will be Different. It was a lot like brunch. Just a skosh above OK. The reader (actress Kathleen Wilhoite) actually saved it but if I did not live in Seattle and enjoy Seattle cultural references, I probably would not have finished it. I need to find my next book and get it chambered.

The Seahawks are out of town but the Sounders are playing a game in the stadium so while it's not quiet out, the noise is, at least fun and not offensive.

The rest of today...

I spent a giant chunk of today trying to get $5,000 to my brother by Wednesday. Seems so simple and yet... BECU was a flaming fail as their security verification didn't work and their website said the only recourse was to call them by 7 pm. Except. As it was outside "normal working hours" there was no one to talk to. Wonder how/who I would call if I discovered someone had access my account and was sucking it dry on, say, Saturday evening?

Guess I'll find out when I call them tomorrow. Capital One might have done the transfer - wire transfer - for $30 but I didn't pursue. What I finally did end up doing was sending it to me in an email via Google Wallet. Even that hit a skid with BECU. I tried that first and it said he wouldn't get it til Thursday. Fortunately, I had the money in my Capital One account so I tried using that with Gmail and Bam. Worked perfectly and instantly.

I should probably take comfort that BECU has my accounts so secure not even I can use them. GRRRRRR

I did make a doll and also made up a batch of doll faces. I need to lay in some more brown fabric but I now have a nice stash of blue and green and pink and purple and yellow.

I was sitting here watching CBS Sunday morning and wondering what I would fix for dinner when I remember PIZZA!!!! Oven now pre-heating. Sweet. And I do love Jane Pauley's Sunday Morning. It's now interesting again!
