It's Been Quite the Day

What a day! It started with a treacherous trip to Elkhart on the icy roads this morning. It was worth it, I bought enough molding for our dining room at an extremely cheap rate. Then I had a paint issue at Wal-Mart. I have been painting my living room the color was off from the beginning but I decided I would live with it. Then I needed a 3rd gallon and the wrong sticker was on it and it couldn't be matched. An hour and a half later I now have 3 complimentary gallons of paint and a whole bunch more painting to do...I only had one small wall to finish with the second coat. Then Evan's car acted up...wobbly wheel. I picked him up and decided I would get ahead of the game and get a little birthday shopping done. On the way the "malfunction light" on my car came on. I stopped at Auto Zone and had the "codes ran". Could be 1 of 4 things we ruled out one major thing. It could also be that I didn't get the gas cap tight enough yesterday. Have to get that looked at. In the midst of all this my cell phone was going crazy...calls and texts. I am exhausted, physically but mostly mentally, I just want to go home and go to bed (I am at work...done but waiting on Bob). As I read through this it doesn't seem like that much but this consumed my entire day. Tomorrow will be better and hopefully I will accomplish what I was supposed to do today.

Back On-Line....Woo Hoo!

So I have virtually been off-line for the last month! We left SBC/ATT because of connection issues. We went to Verizon, through our cell phone plan. We had a portable modem...the service worked well but it is not "unlimited" like they advertise. With a family of 5 the amount of allotted time was not enough. So I cancelled it and was left with the agonizing decision of who now? I finally decided Comcast would be good, I haven't really heard anyone complain about it. So far so good and it is much, much faster than SBC. I have randomly checked e-mail and facebook but I have really missed being connected. I didn't realize how dependent I had become to the Internet. It was good to do without but it's nice to be back.
