come on Gary baby... let's solve this mystery together

can someone please explain to me how in the world i forgot to pay my cell phone bill last month???

i go online to pay this month's bill and see my account page cursing at me: ACCOUNT PAST DUE - yeah in those big bright red disrespectful letters.

well, don't think i didn't curse right back, because i did - out loud at my computer screen. i'll pray about that later. and i don't have time for your reprimands right now so just understand and roll with it.

so yeah...what the eff?!?

how dare they tell me my anything is past due?? i'm no delinquent - i always pay my bills ON TIME!

i click on the "payment history" tab and lo and behold, the last payment on file was August's. where the heck is September??

so i frantically sign on to my bank's website and scroll through all of last month's transactions to prove them wrong - no cell phone bill payment.

i bust out my transaction registry that i keep in my purse (i faithfully document all transactions to my account and keep it with me. i need to know exactly how much dough i have at all times). so i'm flipping through the pages....no cell phone bill payment.

i'm confounded, convinced that once again, the powers that be are plotting against me and trying to take over my mind. because i could have SWORN i remembered paying that bill last month. how could i forget, i do it every month, at the same time?!?

so the conclusion that i have drawn is that i did indeed pay it, but the Force snuck into my bank account manager online, deleted the record of the transaction; then hacked into my cell phone account manager and deleted the record of last month's payment. then added last month's balance to this month's balance and slapped me with a fat (i'm trying so hard not curse in my anger) balance and telling me my account is overdue.

son of...raaaaaah.

yeah i paid it. but i'm not happy about it.

i still don't buy the "i forgot" thing. i simply don't remember forgetting - if that makes any sense to you. i'm determined to get to the bottom of this mystery. i'mma call CSI. criminals always slip up somewhere.

speaking of CSI, you all notice that i haven't posted on the tragedy that was my husband Warrick's death on CSI? that's because i refuse to acknowledge that they did that to me.

even though i watched it happening, i saw him get shot, i saw them lay that sheet over his bloody body lying on that cruel Vegas concrete, and i sat on my living room floor bawling into my pillow in disbelief, i still refuse to believe he's dead. so this is the only time i'll mention it. it never. happened. got it?

to ease the pain though, i am further developing my crush on Hill Harper of CSI: NY.

hmmmm.....rebound....
