Friday’s Letters

Dear The Bank, You win, I am getting a new ATM pin number. Enjoy that $5 you are charging me for it.

Dear TJ Maxx, I love you. I seriously love you. I scored so many amazing goodies while visiting you yesterday. I can’t get enough!

Dear L, Two more weekends of fun and it’s back to school! Let’s soak it all in while we can!

Dear Garage Sale, I am so glad you are over. However, I am oddly excited about having another one of you next summer.

Dear Me, Umm, when you wear your fitbit, you must make sure it’s charged. B says the steps still count even if you aren’t wearing it, but no, they do not.

Dear Nina Garcia, AHHHH, you are making me wait until October for my next Quarterly Co. box? NO!!!!!! The anticipation is already driving me crazy!

Dear Rocky The French Bulldog, Uh could you be any cuter? My goodness you are one adorable little puppy! And such a good jumper too.

Dear Ronnie and Sammi, I wasn’t even aware you were back together, so the news of your breakup is quite a surprise.

Dear Wendy, Thank you for nominating L for the ice-bucket challenge. He is beyond excited. He thinks having a bucket of ice water dumped on his head sounds amazing!

    WHATTTTTT
    I wish we charged $5 each time someone needed to reset their pin.

    seriously – try credit unions up there. we’re so laid back it hurts sometimes.. but we’re all about members- and you wouldn’t have had the problem in the first place.

    1. Jennifer

      It is a credit union!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      1. Kelsey Ellen

        oh WOW.
        yeah. move to florida.
        we’re I guess ridiculous chill… that’s insane!!!

  2. cindy

    1. Jennifer

      I need to get ready earlier next year and do that!

    I have a friend that charges her fitbit every morning while showering. I tend to do it just when mine is almost dead… And like while at work sitting at my desk or during breakfast.

    1. Jennifer

      I thought it was charged! Ugh. It so wasn’t.

    I hate the Fitbit charging thing. Here is what works for me: set aside one time every week to charge it. I know the battery lasts longer than that. But if you make a routine of it, you’re more likely to remember to charge it. I charge mine when I’m treating my hair with coconut oil because, between that (which I do for 30 minutes) and washing it out afterwards, that’s plenty of charge time. I had a lot of times when I just had to forgo counting some steps because it ran out of battery at inconvenient times, so I set up my little weekly routine, and it’s been working out really well for me.

    You’re right, it doesn’t count steps when you’re not wearing it. They work a little bit like Wii remotes and sense movement. Can’t count steps if it doesn’t sense movement!

    1. Jennifer

      Oh no, I thought it was charged (I had it on the charger all night and then put it on) which made it even worse! It must not have been connected right and I was in a hurry and just put it in without paying attention. All those steps wasted!

      1. Sneaky Burrito

        I obsessively check the battery indicator. It’s kind of irritating that you have to go to their website to do that (unless it’s plugged into the charger). I have heard other people complain about these not charging correctly, although I’ve never had that problem with my Fitbit One. Maybe some of the models are tougher to connect?

        1. Jennifer

          Mine shows the battery level on the app

        2. Sneaky Burrito

          Ah, I don’t have a smart phone or tablet so no app for me. (I know, I’m behind the times.)

        3. Squinj

          Mine shows on the app too. You should just think of it as bonus steps for walking while it is dead. Haha. You can work extra hard to make those up later.

  5. Sara

    Did you go to TJ Maxx for the Absolute Lip Balms?! Hahaha

    1. Jennifer

      I did! And then I got half the store after I picked those up!

  6. Rose D.

    About the Fitbit, I know! When mine isn’t charged, I’m like, well, might as well just sit here, since my steps don’t count.

    1. Jennifer

      The worst part is that I thought it was charged! And there I was walking all over the place thinking I was getting all these steps. FAIL.

  7. Lauren

    Dear glossybox. I have canceled you twice now and even replied to an email to cancle but still you have re subscribe me for 6 months. Well I do love you I just can’t afford you. And now I can’t get a response… maybe I’ll just ignore it and still look forward to you every month for 6 more months!!

    Ronnie and sammi broke up??? Wwhhaatttt??!!! Suprised… NOT!!! I too had no idea they were still together.

    1. Jennifer

      LOL!!!!!! They obviously want you to stay!

  8. Alena P

    Ha! Your Ronnie and Sammie comment cracked me up! I follow both of them on Instagram (yes I totally follow celeb’s on Instagram & Twitter) and I realized they weren’t dating anymore, but had no idea they were back together! I’m so glad we share the love of ridiculous entertainment news!

    1. Jennifer

      I should follow them! I seriously thought they had broken up years ago!

  9. Chrissy S.

    Did you hear about the Mariah Carey & Nick Cannon seperation? I read that she made some legal agreement that he couldnt speak about their upcoming divorce or risk being sued! I thought it was nonsense until he said in a recent interview that they are seperated and live in different houses for the past few months. I think we all saw it coming…she always seemed to mature for his party and have fun attitude.

    1. Jennifer

      I did hear that! I am said for dem babies! LOL! They did seem like an odd pair, but you never know??

  10. Lily

    You keep talking about geocaching so I looked it up and it sounds pretty cool. So I signed up. Excited to try it out.

    1. Jennifer

      Yay! Let me know what you find!

  11. Beth Rang

    I’m having a major case of TJ Maxx envy. I was already wishing our town had one. You really found cool stuff there!

    1. Jennifer

      I seriously made out great!

  12. Krista

    Did you find any Kat Von D eyeliners at TJ Maxx?!?! Here is my post about it http://www.mymonthlyobsessions.com/?p=1111 !!!

    I’m kind of happy Nina Garcia is shipping in October. I’m still debating about whether to get it or not. I hated my Summer one. It’s collecting dust. No one even wants to trade for any of it!!

    1. Jennifer

      I didn’t look specifically for those, but I don’t recall seeing them and I was stalking the makeup pretty hard!

  13. Krista

    Oh yeah, Pop Sugar hasn’t done any Spoilers for their Fall box yet have they?! I’m debating on that one too! I should probably just go for it…

    1. Jennifer

      Nope!

  14. PA Anna

    I go back and forth on the Nina Garcia box since the focus is winter essentials. I was looking forward to a fall box. Lots of time to decide. I had to Google Ronnie and Sammi LOL.

    1. Jennifer

      I can’t believe you didn’t know them! I take it you didn’t watch Jersey Shore? I am sure your brain cells thank you for that!

      1. PA Anna

        I’m sure I lost a few brain cells from watching Real Housewives LOL

  15. Crstina

    Kind of off topic, but have you received your Bluum box yet? I know you had mentioned that you were waiting for it. I’m sort of bummed that mine was one of the boxes that was delayed and was just shipped out on Wednesday. And since I’m in CA, it’s not expected to arrive until next Wednesday, almost September! And we will be on vacation so we wont get it until September.

    1. Jennifer

      I just got it today!
