end of the weekend posting

hello everyone!!!

well lets see where to start....saturday robbie and i woke up at 2:30am to get ready for robbies first crabbing trip with my mom and me. we were out of the house and on the road by 3am! on the water and out to our spot by 4am! yes it is very dark out there. but thats what head lamps are for. we laid out 30 crab traps with bait in them and on the second trap robbie caught the first crab! it was awsome. new maryland laws forbids social crabbers like me to keep female crabs. the reason is to eventually hope bring the crab population up. the size of the crabs have changed also. all this is fine by mom and me. shes been crabbing since she was younger and she started taking me around the age of 4 and i would love to do that with my children (if i ever get the chance to have them. thats another post later on). we caught a bussel of crabs by 10am. would have been more or finished earlier if we could keep the females. headed back to the boat ramp to head home. after we got home and got settled, robbie and i grabbed showers and got dressed for my boss' babyshower/bbq at her house. which was back in herdon va. so yea. hung out there for two hours and robbie got to meet my bosses and one of the drs i work for. then head back to the apartment where at 730pm robbie crashed. lol i didnt get to bed till 11pm. go figure.

sunday we woke up and had a lazy morning and then headed back to my moms for crabs. after steaming some and prepping the other ones for hard fries, i checked my banking account and say that amazon.com had taken $79.00 out! WTF! so i call them and ofcourse get someone who doesnt speak english and ask them why they took it out. appearntly two months ago when i ordered two books i signed up for a membership. i told them i didnt and they said yea i did bc when i checked out i didnt uncheck a box offering a free trial membership for two months then i would be charged. ummmm yea ok. didnt see that box....and if i didnt check it, why would you all be sneeky like that? so they said the offer me a refund however it woul be 3-4days for them to do it and then another 3-5business days for my bank to repost it. UGH! not going to work. so amazon tells me to call my bank and have them do something about it. so i called wachovia,and explained the situation to them. they said they couldnt do anything with out a written letter saying that it was the merchants mistake and then they would take the check card hold off of my account and delete it. UGH! so i call amazon back and again get someone who doesnt speak english and tell them to fax the letter over to the bank, yea i have a persons name and fax number direct to him at wachovia. they tell me they cant do it, bc the billing department is closed. ok give me a manager. so the manager getts onto the phone and tells me he cant send me a letter or the bank bc they have no way. but he can email it to me and says, "then mam you can print it out and fax it yourself." WTF! now my temper is beyond words. yea i have a printer and fax machine in my house just sitting around waiting! dumbass. i said well why cant you. he says he cant bc he doesnt have the equitment. are you telling me in the whole office building you are in that you dont have a printer and fax machine but think i do in my house! so they sent me the email. big whoopie! so back to wachovia i go. i get the same guy i had before and tell him. he calls amazon with me on the line and talks to them. they said that they put a rush on my account. so the wachovia guy tells me after we get off the phone with them that he would check my account and make sure by wednesday that everything was back to normal. he even agreed that it was messed up on how they trick you into that. and suggested that i call the better business bureo. which i plan to do tomorrow. i will never buy anything from amazon ever again and have started to spread the word about it.

this thursday robbie and i leave for a weekend in atlanta. then after i come back on sunday, robbie stays down for a class for the rest of the week. then we leave august 1st for our real vacation to the flordia keys! yeppie!!!!!

ok time for bed. lol got to get some sleep!
