God damn Verizon. They were supposed to be at the new place between 8am and noon today to install the phones, along with Cablevision for internet and cable…Well we got Cablevision taken care of, but Verizon didn’t show up until AFTER THREE!!!

Sleigh bells ring…Are you listening?
Tuesday, April 26th, 2005I hate to admit it, but I’m kind of getting into the Christmas spirit…*rueful smile*…Yesterday, we went shopping and picked up a plush down comforter and some impossibly soft Egyptian cotton sheets for my new bed…Plus, we got a tree stand, some neat ornaments and glass balls, fancy faceted dual-colored filament lights, tinsel, and a [...]
