Going Up...Going Down

I had so many awesome moments today and then all at once, the day just went downhill.  Check out today's roller coaster:
  • Even though its over the 30-day return period, Walgreen's let me return the $40 tower fan that I bought for the $60 one that I really wanted (on sale for $40 this week)!
  • There are only 3 free parking spaces at my local Petco.  I pulled in right when someone was pulling out! And then when I got in, there was a buy one get one free deal on the scratching post that I bought for my cats!
  • Karine gave me a Staples coupon for 100 free business cards.  They happened to be out of the cheap paper so they gave me the gloss paper instead!  Then I was told that I could come back tomorrow to get another 100.  While I was there, I met a photographer who works at a camera store and is going to show me some affordable equipment that I can buy.
  • When I got home, I saw that my vistaprint business card order arrived 10 days earlier than expected!  And the cards look great!
  • The process at the DMV to change my title over and get new plates and stickers was way smoother than I thought. Until they told me that I couldn't pay for my plates with a Visa.  WTF...who doesn't take Visa? And then I found out that on top of the $195, I also have to get a windshield./city sticker within 30 days which will cost $85.  On top of that, in order for me to get an Illinois license, I have to pass the written exam that I took when I was what....16?  Geez. So now I gotta study that damn book again.
