where am I today?

The big projecg in New Bern.

my little rock-star

The zib loves rock-band. Can she dance with a guitar, or what?

i hate spam

My credit card number was stolen. 

I can't begin to understand the motivation of whoever did this, but it seemed to have been done for fun. Nothing of value was purchased by/for this individual. They signed me up for the super-deluxe Netflix account and they ordered a get-rich-quick scheme for me. 

I have a new credit card number.

Netflix sent us a notice that we suddenly had two accounts. That was easy.

The get-rich-quick scam was... a scam. I really had to beg to get them to cancel me and avoid the coming monthly charges that would follow my free* CD (pay only shipping!).

But the worst part of the whole thing is that my home email account is now collecting spam. It may seem amazing, but although I've had this account for about 10 years, this is the first time I've been sent adds for "male enhancement."

Whoever you are: next time buy yourself a nice new TV with my credit card; just don't open my email up to spam!!!

*If you want the CD, it's your free. Just send me the shipping charges.

(I emailed this entry from my phone to my work email so that I could run a spell-check. Work's email system rejected my message as spam.)

i am the Basil Fawlty of home improvement.

Sleepy...

best beer logo ever...

Still waiting for the new Kelly, no word yet. Thoughts of peace and happiness for the parents in waiting.

i'm no twit!

Cat signed up for twitter to send tweets to her blog. But, it can be done by the email, too.

little fat man

he eats, he sleeps, he poops, he eats...

quiz time: guess who?

Yes, one is big sister and one is baby brother. If you thought this was hard, wait until he's about 6 months old and I throw in some b&w pictures of ME at 6 months old and give you 3 photos to choose from.

dan & jess rock!

they brought me a turkey sub and diet coke- saints, both of them (yes, even dan)

he's on the way!

we're at the hospital waiting for the arrival of the baby boy to be named later. yay!

it's a snow day!

...and the snow continues to fall. See Cat's blog for more, but I think we're all happy for another day off. I will go drive one of the Subarus later though, I didn't buy all-wheel-drive to park them all day (even if I'm not going to work).

big moon

On the way home last night Zibby and I stopped to look at the full moon and some cows. She climbed in my coat and asked all about the cows in the field. When we turned around to get back in the car, we saw an orange sunset. Good times.

DONE.

All we have to do now is move back in and put all of our stuff away. I promise not to complain.
