Proverbs 10:19

Two exciting things happened today:

One, I installed RAM on my computer.  And when I say I installed RAM, I mean, I, myself, physically installed new RAM in my computer at work.  I won't tell you exactly what that involves....cuz I know there are some of you who are impressed right now, and might not be as much if I told you how one installs RAM.  Last week, Josh invited me to join the "Advanced Support Team" at Cramer IT.  I accepted.  The first step to being a true part of this team - install your own RAM, next step - set up a VPN and learn GUI.

Two, I did a walk-thru of the cutest house in all of Iowa City.  This is where I want to live next year.  I am madly in love.  For real, I can't stop thinking about this house.  It's like having a crush on someone.  Only even more amazing.

When I use my debit card at places like HyVee, the little card swiper machine always goes through the same routine questions.

Debit, credit card...etc.?

Cash back?

Amount OK?

Just once, I want to say, no, the amount is not okay.

$3.41   Amount okay?

No?  I'll give you $1.50.

Sorry, $3.00 is the lowest I'll go.

Fine, these granola bars are pretty good, I'll give you $2.50, and that's my final offer.

Sold!  Bag those granola bars!

Wouldn't that be great?  I asked the guy at HyVee about this the other night, he said it just cancels out the transaction.  How unfortunate.  But comforting at the same time.  Now I don't have to bum about all those great bargains I've been missing out on.
