Chase, Family Night Out

Yesterday over lunch I opened up a new checking account, at Chase. They have like a bazillion ATMs – in every Speedway and Walgreen’s, so my fees should go down.

Last night we had a family night out: Maddie bought an expansion pack to the Sims 2 using her new debit card for her new bank account – ahh..a rite of tween passage. We are direct depositing her allowance into her checking account now.

Then we went to Pizza Hut and had their new pizza that has a lot of cheese in the crust. It wasn’t bad, but not my favorite (which is Noble Roman’s deep dish…which is going slowly out of business, as far as I can tell). Actually, Pizzeria Uno is pretty darn good, too. Then we played “Ice Cream”. It is simple enough for kids, but has some interesting strategic depth for adults. I’d play it again.

Molly’s friend, Mallory, is coming over tonight from 3p – 9p.

At work, “we” are loading a container this Saturday – headed for Africa. I don’t actually have to be there, which is why I say “we”.

There are going to be like 20 volunteers there.

We’re trying to plan a get-together with my parents for my Mom’s b-day, which is also St. Patrick’s day.

I think we need a new computer. Maddie’s games run too slowly for my tastes, and things are just going wrong with it.
