I’m not 100% sure this is what happened.. but this is my gut feeling, so just go with it..

Last week before Thanksgiving, the boyfriend and I went out to eat at a local Mexican restaurant. It’s been right around the corner forever, but neither of us had actually eaten there before. So we decided to take the big leap and try something new. The food was good and pretty cheap; the margaritas were fantastic.. especially since we barely made happy hour. The check came and one of our several waiters picked up the credit card. I soon realized that there was a cashier up front, where everyone else was paying their tab–first sign. It felt like an eternity before I received my card back… second sign. I had that feeling deep in my gut that something was wrong, but as usual, I didn’t say anything. I really need to start paying attention to that feeling..

Over the weekend I was receiving these weird 1-800 number calls, I really didn’t think anything of it until I went out to get some food and my card was declined–twice. Talk about embarrassing! At least it wasn’t at Target during Black Friday sales, that would have sucked! Again, the 1-800 called and I picked up this time. It was my bank; they recognized possible fraud on my account. They detected the fraud fairly quickly! Thank you Wells Fargo! I asked them how it was detected and they said a $120 ticket at Walgreens looked suspicious. Another charge was to Shell for $55–which was definitely not me since my tank won’t even fill to $45.. (at least right now) So I’m grateful that my bank found out within a few days and notified me! But now I have to live without a debit card.. Woe as me!

But seriously, to all you people who copy credit card information–you suck!! I don’t really know how you were able to charge on my card, when I still freaking have the thing in my wallet! It’s not like they were online purchases… which happened to my boyfriend, two days after my issue. Agh, get a life people and stop stealing other’s money!

Yesterday I watched Fried Green Tomatoes for the first time. When a couple people said, “How have you not seen Fried Green Tomatoes?!” I thought they were just overreacting.. movies are just movies.. nothing special. I’m one of those people who prefers TV over a movie any day. But this movie was AH-MAY-ZING! I laughed, I cried, I told my boyfriend to shut up so I could watch the very end of it. (Yeah, I’m a bitch, what of it?) Anyways, I loved the movie, so I’ve compiled a list of some more movies I need to see.

I’ve seen some “must see” movies like Scarface, the Green Mile and the Shawshank Redemption. But for the most part I haven’t watched–or even heard of–many classic movies. Compiling my list, I kind of cheated and started from the IMDB Top 250.

And by the way, some aren’t classics–just ones I really want to see..

1. 50/50
2. American Beauty
3. Casablanca
4. Donnie Darko
5. Full Metal Jacket
6. Goodfellas
7. Hotel Rwanda
8. It’s a Wonderful Life
9. Miracle on 34^th Street
10. Once Upon a time in America
11. One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest
12. Precious
13. Requiem for a Dream
14. Risky Business
15. Say Anything…
16. Schindler’s List
17. Se7en
18. Silence of the Lambs
19. Singin’ in the Rain
20. Slumdog Millionaire
21. Snatch
22. The Departed
23. The Elephant Man
24. The Exorcist
25. The Freedom Writers
26. The Godfather
27. The Godfather: Part II
28. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
29. The Help
30. The Nightmare before Christmas
31. The Passion of the Christ
32. The Shining

Do you have any more suggestions so that I can keep the Must See Movie List going?
