If only they'd had the WWJD bracelet before stealing the CC#! Because I'm pretty sure Jesus would not have done that.

Argh. Once again, trying to coordinate a restaurant meal with my family. We've gone from "let's go now. we're both starving!" at 1:30, to no, let's all go out to eat together at 5pm. So I made reservations for 5. I'm at home, still hungry, they're at the other house in the middle of some project, and reservations have been pushed back to 6pm. Now I'm leaving to join them at the other house, and Niece is gone off somewhere, and I swear. We won't get to eat before 6:30 at best. Jeebus. Should've known, should've gone on and had lunch.

My hair drove me nuts today so I sucked up some courage and walked into a salon and went with the first available stylist. I like the color and the cut seems good. Will know more when I style it myself. The greys are gone for now and I have bangs again. Woot!

It's using stolen credit card to buy anything at a Christian Center I find peculiar.

Not really - Christians come in all moral flavors just like everybody else. My late father was in the business world, and he always winced when a check with a bible quotation on it came in. Because it was 90% certain to bounce. Not a commonality among Christians in general, a commonality among Christians who chose to order custom checks with bible verses. I think there are some relevant quotes about overly public shows of piety not being a good sign of having the holy spirit. But they don't come to mind at the moment.

Actually, it seems weird to me, too, because of the whole Ten Commandments, Thou Shalt Not Steal thing. The idea that one is a Christian implies that one at least pays lip service to those tenets.

Yeah, you think?

The only time I found out what thieves bought with my credit card, it was super stereotypical: expensive TV, trendy clothes, etc.

I have, luckily, never had worse than failed attempts to buy stuff (a tank of gas, membership in a dating site, fairly small transactions but obviously not mine) that the CC company caught right away.

IO-shopping-N, I tried to use a Groupon at this shoe store, and could not find a damn thing I wanted. There was one pair of boots that would have been perfect, except the zipper snagged IMMEDIATELY, so fuck that. Anyway, they carry a brand that my mother loves, so I just offered the Groupon to her! So I feel like a genius for remembering how close by she is.

Did any of you guys become infatuated with certain music after the age of 30 (a different music than what you already loved by age 25)? I would love to hear your experiences.

Infatuated might be a strong word, but a folk festival concert I went to in my late 30s sparked an appreciation of Bluegrass and prompted me to buy an album from my favorite of the bands in attendance (Out of the Blue Band, since renamed Greenwillis) on the spot.
