Hello Nice People,
Today has been a "Lazy" sort of day. In fact most of this week has been the "Lazy" sort. Have been tired most of the week. But I have to get my ducks in a row and get my ---- together and wake up and smell the coffee and whatever else will get me moving.
CELL PHONES I think I made a pretty good swap today. My cell phone plan allows for 4 or 5 phones, so there is me and hubby (thats him over there on the couch----------> . And I have daughter and son in law on my plan. We all have the basic phones, no cameras (cameras and phones? somehow they just don't seem to go together) No texting, no speakers, no bluetooth....just plain old phones. And I was quite proud that I did not yet fall prey for all that modern mish mashy stuff. Well SIL was the first of the four to break his phone. So since the plan is in my name, only I could go to Verizon to get him a new phone. I put it off for a week. Cuz I know that when I step into VerizonWorld, they will automaticaly up my contract for another 2 years. I think if you go in there just to use the bathroom, they will re-up your contract for another 2 years. So here I go, stubborn and stoic that they are NOT going to sell me one of those dern fancy, new fangled cell phones. And I told him right out, "I want to go the cheapest way possible." "OK" he said, "but we don't have these plain little jobbers anymore. But we do have this little silver one that is only a few dollars more and is perfect for a man." Hmmmm, that one over there sure is a pretty color. "Well, thats our new grape color." Now what would Shane want with a grape cell phone." That little plain silver one would be suitable for a man so I should go with that one. "Uhhh, what's the price on that grape one? It sure is pretty." "Well the grape one takes pictures, texts, has a clock, tells the day of the week, has an alarm, voicemail, email, feeds the dog and clips your toenails. It sure is pretty......but what would a man want with a grape cell phone?" Of course it would be perfect for ME!! salesman---> "Well, I could take your phone and put his phone number in it. Then take this cute little grape number and put your number in it and you would both be happy. I will even take all of your contact numbers out of your phone and put them into the new phone." Hmmmm, this salesman is just so accomodating and such a nice guy. SOLD, and I am now the owner of a pretty little purple telephone. Shane? Oh Shane!, he got a phone too. My old phone. And he is perfectly happy. And Verizon thinks they put one over on me HAH!!
Sunday is a special day. Grandson Anthony is a brand new alter boy and he is serving Mass for the first time on Sunday. So you know I will be there with my camera. I think we may take the family out to breakfast after just to celebrate. Everyone have a good weekend and I will talkatchalater.
I get these ideas and then he is the one who has to put the darn thing together. Why don't they come with at least some of it put together. The whole big box was nothing but bolts and sheet metal. He has been working on it since early this morning. And he is the type that has to go exactly by the directions. God forbid there is an extra screw left over.
I don't think there will be any hamburgers on the grill tonite.
