So after a wondeful day yesterday, full with hope and excitment about the future,I had to wake up to a credit card fraud. Not happy.
Apparently someone decided that I should open an account with verizon, then purchased three Blackberry PDAs and shipped them to ME. How stupid? I don't get what benefit that was to them. So I had a spend my morning, calling my credit card company to close the card, calling verizon to close the account, and then I found out they had my social security number also. So I had to call the credit beauru, was on hold forever, and placed a fraud alert. I really hope that is the end of that.
On a lighter note, I am excited that our assignment here in Washington is almost over(pretty but freezing), and we will be going back to Maui for the rest of the winter. Before that we will be spending a week with my parents in SC , and do you know what visiting my mother means? Yummy delecious mediterranean food!

Candi, I too was a victim of identity theft. Make sure you check the three credit sites at least twice a year: TransUnion, Experian, and Equifax. You don't want your name tarnished forever, and that can happen.
I believe you can get more info here:https://www.annualcreditreport.com/cra/index.jsp
Good luck, and nice blog!

Thanks Terry, I am doing that. It is very annoying though.
