I slept well last night, and woke this morning at 9:30! Haven't done that for quite a while, so I really enjoyed it.

Mike and I set out on our errands, Costco, bank, Verizon, Verizon (twice, yes), Best Buy, then ate lunch and came home. We had so many questions for Verizon, and the guy at the first store was a complete freaking idiot, and I refused to talk to him. Everything I asked, he shot down with a "you can't do that on your plan" before he even looked at "my plan" or even knew my name. I asked him, Why did Verizon send me this brochure I am holding then?"..Whatever...asshole...oh, and the only way to get a netbook through Verizon is to upgrade your television deal to Fios, and get one for free...huh?...the only way?...not what they say on the tv ads, nor the brochures they send out...I was so totally upset with this isiot, I just walked away. Mike was upset with him also, which never happens, he always has more patience than I, and he was ready to wring this guys neck. We left that store, and I said, omg, I needed to pay the bill while we were there. So, we had to go to the next Verizon store, where we found a very nice girl to help with that, and all our questions. I am eligible for a phone upgrade (yes, I knew that), and if I buy a "Blackberry Tour" I can get a netbook for free! I will have to switch my plan around a bit, but we can have a great deal of access and both be set. I will sit on it and decide in the coming days. A lot of it stems on if our kids actually pay us for their cell phones, which they signed a contract with me to do, but never do...I am not a great bill collector.

I met up with BObbie and her boys at my house, and I took them school clothes shopping. I am not accustomed to boys...my girls would have be pretty gung ho on all that, and tell me, "I can't find what I am looking for at this store, can we go to ________?" These guys were saying, I can't find what I want here, so I will just get this, can we go home now?" They see Pizza Hut inside of Target, and become hungry, to the point of whining hysterically. I think Bobbie was embarassed but I thought it was hilarious. I kept offering them pink ruffley shirts, and asking if they are ready for training bras. They thought I had lost my mind, not even knowing what that was. Oh, the other thing...not one time did any of those boys go into a dressing room to try something on. Straight from the rack to the bag. Done. We visited a ot more stores that we would have with my girls at that same age. Try this, try this, try this..on and on and on...

We made it home and Mike had set up a second TV in the living room so I could watch the football game, and the men-folk could play Wii games. Caitlyn came over, and we made chicken strips and scratch mac-n-cheese. By the time we got around to eating, it was nearly 9pm. The boys were out of gas after dinner, and faded rather quick. I had to laugh at that too, saying my sisters kids would have just been recharging their batteries, and ready to play until the wee hours of the morning. I am sure my ids would have done that in her home, too...I am way too tired to proof rea this, as usual...zzzzzzzzzzzz
