Adulting

So, sent my taxes off to my accountant, and as is my custom, included a check for payment for services to be rendered.

It happened to be the last check in the checkbook and this afternoon, I went hunting for a fresh book of checks. It took me a few minutes to remember where I put them, but I found them and discovered that I had two full boxes of checks. Each box contained a fresh ledger which had a handy-dandy three-year calendar on the back.

The years on the calendar? 2002 - 2003 - 2004. At the bottom of the second box of checks was the packing slip from the order, dated October, 2002. I haven't ordered checks in (counts on her fingers) thirteen years and (more finger counting) eight months. At this rate, I'll be eligible for Social Security by the time I need to place another order!

I'm trying to remember the last time I wrote a check. It's been so long! Heck, five years later, when I do write one, I still have to cross out my old address because I know it's not worth ordering new ones.

I just showed my mom how to pay online and she loves it. But she's still the type to write everything down in her check book and balance, etc... I'm sure she won't give them up completely.

My dad was like that - even to the point where he demanded getting his checks back in the mail with his bank statement.
