I feel like a five year old - walking into Sanrio for the first time.
I just saw that I can get a Bank of America HELLO KITTY debit card. I called, got it all set up - for free - and my new FREE Hello Kitty debit card should be in my mailbox in 5-8 business days. I'm so excited. I love Hello Kitty!
I missed the Hello Kitty phase when I was growing up. I missed the excitement of walking into Sanrio and getting all giddy over the new Hello Kitty plush backpack. I don't know why i wasn't into it as a kid, I remember seeing the Sanrio store in the mall. It just took 20 years for me to catch up and I'm going through the phase right now. I am totally geeking out over anything Hello Kitty. When we went to Disney World, Epcot had the best Hello Kitty store i'd ever seen. My good friend went to China and she brought me back a Hello Kitty watch. Bill keeps trying to buy me Hello Kitty jewelry. I can't justify a $5,000 Hello Kitty ring (not yet) but if I had the extra cash, I'd wear that every day!
So today, I was signing off the Bank of America website and I saw an advertisement for their "My Expressions" checking account. And i was looking at the options for personalized debit cards (mostly looking to see if they had an OU debit card for Bill) and I came across a Hello Kitty debit card! I was on the phone with BofA and in less than 5 minutes, my Hello Check card was ordered and on it's way.
This is the best week ever! totally the silver lining on everything else.
Maybe i'm geneticly programmed to LOVE hello Kitty. I am asian after all. Don't lie - You know this is the cutest thing ever - as far as plastic money goes.
