Errr, Some Stuff I Was Thinking About

Updates and other info that I'm too lazy to turn into cohesive posts:

1. Go over to Anglophile Football Fanatic's blog and vote for her niece's blog pseudonym. The poll is on the right. And the name you should vote for is Ainsley, since that's the one I suggested. :)

2. Thank you, thank you, thank you for all of the advice and suggestions you gave me about the Verizon problem. I am happy to say that thanks to the Better Business Bureau the early termination fee has been removed from our last bill. Unfortunately, we still have a last bill. Ah well, nothing's perfect.

3. The people across the street didn't have anyone come over last night. They weren't home. Is it sad that I was a little disappointed?

4. How come it's okay for the government to bail out huge corporations that screw up but this same government looks down on people who have to declare bankruptcy or go on welfare?

5. So this website I write for pays me to write lots of LAME articles (but they PAY, alright?) and some of them wind up on eHow.com. I have NO COMMENTS on eHow. None. So if you could swing by and say something (you don't have to actually read the articles. In fact, I'd prefer it if you didn't.) I would really appreciate it. Like owe you linky love appreciate it.

5a. Do you think I should have a link to my lame articles on the blog here? I'm not sure.

Clearly, You All Have Superpowers

Thank you guys so much for all of your thoughts, prayers, hugs and support. You all must have superpowers, because Hubby got out of the hospital last night. It's just such a relief to have him home, I can't even tell you.

It turns out that his left bundle branch in his heart is partially blocked. He is on a bunch of drugs to help unblock it and lower his blood pressure. So it's not great news, but it's not horrible news either. We're slowly learning about it and working on making changes to our diet (we'd already cut out trans fats and switched to whole grains at home, at least). And we're going to use all the money we used to spend on our vices (eating out too much, alcohol, sometimes cigarettes - and don't worry, I haven't had any of the naughty vices lately) to join a gym.

So we're just trying to take this as a wake up call for a healthier lifestyle.

I will catch up with all of you soon.
