Random Friday Bits
>> Friday, January 20, 2012
- I lied in my last post. Z has SEVEN teeth. We discovered a new one last night when she woke up screaming like a baby banshee, which is highly unusual for her. Some orajel and ibuprofen helped her calm down. I love that she takes her medicine now without thrashing around. So much easier, more ends up in her, and less ends up on me/the walls/the ceiling/the floor, etc.
- I bought Z Wee Sing America, Wee Sing Silly Songs, and Wee Sing Bible Songs. Couldn't find Wee Sing Around the Campfire, though. I. AM. SO. EXCITED!!! I loved those tapes growing up and hopefully it won't be like listening to fingernails on a chalkboard like the cds of kids songs I bought at Target in the summer. I hate those ones and all the fake laughing and such. Ugh. Wee Sing is so much better. Now I need to find Psalty and the other Christian kid tapes. GT, too.
- We switched internet providers from Clear to Verizon Fios. Clear has been horrible since we moved here in May and signed up with them. A 20 minute show will take 40 minutes on average to watch because the service drops us so many times. We're paying for 4G home, so come on! And to make it worse, we could only have one thing connected to the internet - either the TV, the iPad, or the computer. No multiple devices or the whole thing would shut down. I was...irritated with them. But we signed a contract and I don't take those things lightly.
The straw the broke the proverbial camel's back, though, was when I got cut off from my mom on a Skype call a couple of days ago when we were discussing future plans should she have cancer. Important stuff.
Fuming, Hubby called Clear to complain since when I call either they won't talk to me because I am the spouse (they actually said that as their excuse) or they tell me I don't know how to work my computer and need to restart and reconfigure my machine. Never their fault. Anyways, there was an epic exchange between me and the manager (Hubby was being too nice) where I kindly offered to report them to the better business bureau for lying to customers (Speedtest.net told us our download rate was .25 mb/second; POINT Two-five - not even ONE whole megabyte - 4G my butt), blackball them through MacDill (meaning that the military stationed here would be advised if not down right forbidden to use Clear), and tell the whole world through the internet how much they sucked. Let's just say the cancellation fee was waived and our contract was cancelled. Tuesday we get Fios.
We were trying to hold out with Clear until we moved because that may be next month. But we just couldn't take it anymore. I didn't realize how upset Hubster was with Clear until I saw him jumping up and down and doing a happy dance over Fios. We probably should have made the switch sooner.
- Z is so voluntarily huggy and cuddly today. I am soaking it up.
- Today I'm wearing the clothes I wish fitted better as a visual way to remind myself to eat healthy. Hey, a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.
And because it's Friday, here's two pictures of my cutie pie at her birthday celebration in the park last month to get you through the rest of the day.
