Two more quilted and last four ready to quilt

Tonight I quilted two more of the lap quilts and pin basted the remaining four.  I had to piece the batting for the last two, but that wasn't a big deal.  With any luck I will be able to get the four quilted tomorrow after work.  Then I can start on the bindings.  Just going to machine bind them all, that's the easiest and fastest for me.  If I had more time, I could have done more intricate designs and such, but maybe next year.

Still have a mess with that online retailer.  Today I got ahold of a Senior Executive Resolution Specialist at their corporate headquarters.  She is at least staying in communication with me, via email, and has attempted to resolve the issue.  She is not having much success at this time, but the thing that is helping me to sleep tonight is that she has mentioned making accommodations if any overdraft fees are incurred because of this issue.  That is one of my main worries, so it meant a lot.  The problem should not be happening.  I made purchases and the retailer is debiting my account for up to three times for each purchase.  The debits don't all stick around, because some are what they call 'memo posted', but while they are there, my account has to have the money to cover them or it will be overdrawn.  This is nerve racking, to say the least.  Let's hope tomorrow is a better day on that front.

There is a display of 140 Nativity Scenes from around the world on display in Springfield at the Franciscan Sisters Motherhouse this weekend.  I'm going to take my dad and stepmother.  Haven't told them where we are going, just that we are going someplace they will like.  Dad may or may not go, depending on if he gets a deer on Thursday.  I hope he gets one so he can go with.

That situation sounds awful! Modern technology can be such a pain ... but I don't think I'll be stopping online shopping any time soon!

I am not going to quit shopping online, but until this mess is cleared up and all my orders are shipped and that retailer is out of my account, I am stuck. I can't use any money out of my account for fear that it will overdraft me. It is a pain in the patoot!
