Checking the Visa Statement

Yesterday was my paperwork day - urgh! I hate catching up on all the bill paying and such like after the Holidays. I'm a procrastinator and I'd put off paying many bills until the kids went back to school.

With it being Christmas, we had several Amazon purchases and Paypal items. I'd noticed one item I didn't recognize on the Visa Statement.

Hmmm ... I thought - had somebody gotten a hold of our visa number? Had Craig bought me something 'special' and forgotten to give me it? I wondered and wondered about it.

So, last night, I asked Craig to go through our Paypal account online. As I said, there were several Paypal purchases. We went down the list. The final one was from the vendor in question ... the Visa statement said "FILLYOURBRA" - so you understand where my curiosity was coming from!

The vendor was actually "FILL YOUR BRAIN" - I imagine that you can only have so many characters on the statement!

Well, I laughed so hard that I cried! Craig didn't get the joke, so I handed him the Visa statement. When I explained that it had been on my mind all afternoon, he got the giggles too! Then he went into the garage to show me my 'gift' ... it was just a book about tiling!
