My Bank & Cheerleading

They're closing my bank. I guess I should have known. Whenever I go there I'm the only one in there, but still, it was the most convenient of the three. Before I moved here there was actually a branch of MY bank just minutes from the church. Now I have to drive "into town" to get to a branch of my bank. But as of Friday, I will have to drive even further! It shouldn't be so hard to deposit a check, you know? I also have an account with usaa which allows you to make deposits by scanning your check into the computer. I'm thinking that the more rural this place seems to get, the closer I'm becoming to relying completely on computers. If my computer crashed I'd be REALLY in for it!

On a bright note, I got to put up some of my bows at the cheer center today. I make and sell them on the side to help pay for the girls' cheer lessons. Actually, I really enjoy it and it's always fun to hear the cheerleaders make comments like "Ooooh, I like THAT one!" Instant gratification. I like that. Today a little girl came up and was commenting on all of the bows which range in price from $3-$10 depending on size and the amount of ribbon used and the amount of time it took me to make them. She proceeded to tell me that they were really good prices, that her mother thinks that $164 is a little much but that she can definitely afford bows at this price. Made me laugh on the inside. Evidently this little girl wanted SOMETHING that cost $164. I'll see what sells. Last year I had a really good response and raised about $200 and then even more from a custom sale that came through that. It ended up paying for all of the girls' cheer expenses. Well, I have the same custom contract already for this fall. I find it quite relaxing to have a "busy" project going on. It takes my mind off of the church and all of its issues. Besides that, the coach is really good about letting me sell the bows through the gym and I get to meet a bunch of different people. Sorry I rambled today. I'll try to be more succinct in the future.
