I am so embarrassed. I cannot BELIEVE you would post such a thing. Come ON! LOOSE? No way... I do kegels 4-5 times/day. I'm a born again virgin, I think.

OK, stop it. I'm trying to be stressed here. New BB and I can't move anything over. BANKING - which I've never done. Planning for being out of town next three days.
Calgon, take me away!

The average woman would rather have beauty than brains, because the average man can see better than he can think.
I am the banking queen in my family! Get yourself "Quicken" software, STAT. It is much easier if you start from day one if you are opening a new account. Although I did once enter 18 months of checking just to keep mine up to date...
Anyway, Quicken is something you can order online, I even downloaded mine so I had it instantly vs waiting for the CD to come so I could install it. It is a way to track your banking, you enter all credits and debits just as you would in a check register. However each transaction is coded with various categories--"housing", "personal care"--ie massages!, "clothing", "groceries", "dining", you get the idea.
That way at any given time you can pull up charts/graphs that show you where your money is going. You can also set up a budget and then Quicken will tell you if you spent more/less than you planned to on any given area during a month...
Sounds boring but I love it! Plus at the end of the year you have easy printouts for tax time of what you spent on childcare, charitable giving, medical, etc.
Three days out of town? Interesting... I like road trips.
You have no idea how much my inner geek would love to help you! And if you belong to a major bank, you can even have transactions downloaded instantly from your bank to quicken, without having to type them all in yourself! Hmm...weekend roadtrip to visit mind?? If you have a laptop with wireless, we could do it all out of your house so nobody would even know, except you!
Ditto on BBJ and the Quicken. It is so easy. And it does literally everything. It can almost be addicting seeing what it can do.
Imagine that. Financial software addicting.
--Fergie /BBJ:I once entered six months of back transactions, so you have me beat. //I go back through and make sure my transaction memos are all in the same format. ///I like to satisfy my inner OCD
Ok it is all coming together now...a Mind/BBJ/Fergie weekend, aka the "Quicken Quickie" or the "Financial Free For All"...
Love it! Just tell me the place, I'll hop a plane...

/Ferg: When I first discovered quicken I had to do all 18 months bc I wanted the entire history of that account to match up //Have you not seen my FB posts on reorganizing my files, color coding, highlighting? ///I like all file folder tabs to be done in the same font ///We could be long lost twins ////Slashies
I like road trips.
