Can someone please tell me where my time goes? How is it that 1/3 of the year is over, and I remember New Year's Eve as if it was yesterday? I feel like March and April came and went in the blink of an eye.
The financial repurcussion of losing track of time: I missed the deadline for my credit card payment. It was due on 4/28 and I just paid it today. This is super frustrating because I have no excuse beyond my own disorganization. And I can't even call up and have them take pity on me, because I did the same thing at the end of last year when I completely stopped tracking my spending. The finance charges shouldn't be too bad because I paid it in full today, but I'm sure the late payment fee is in the neighborhood of $35. An expensive lesson in organization...
Wow, that's a bummer.
Needless to say, I'll spend some part of the weekend paying the rest of the month-end bills...
Late Payment faux pas

Seconding FrugalT's recommendation that you call and plead for no fee/no interest. Explain you will need to switch to another card if they do not see you as an excellent client, after all they collect 4% or more from every vendor for every purchase you make.
