AT&T Strikes Again
We thought AT&T couldn’t screw us over again. We were wrong.
During our last call, we were given a home phone line for $1 a month so we could get the rebate we were promised when we initially signed up. Imagine our surprise today when we got a mailing listing our monthly charge as $30.
Tired of the hassle and since we don’t even use a home phone, Joe told them to cancel it. They took that to mean “Please cancel our Internet”, which we discovered when we got home tonight. We can’t get it turned back on until tomorrow. The corporate office I called today will get anotoday will be getting another call from me tomorrow. Thank goodness for phones with Internet.
UPDATE: Still no Internet and AT&T now says they will listen to my complaint but will not do anything to rectify it. And that’s someone at the corporate office telling me that. I can’t go any higher. I guess we’re going to have to eat the $250 in inexpected up front charges and switch back to Comcast. In- freaking-believable.
In which I Learn my Lesson for Snoring
See that? That’s what happens when your snoring annoys your husband and he whacks you in face.
Actually, that’s a joke because I don’t snore. Really. And, Joe didn’t hit me. I don’t think. We have no idea what happened. On Saturday, Joe said, “Hey, look over there,” which of course made me say, “No, I’m not looking over there” because every time I look over there, Joe does something to me or takes something I have.
But, when I did look to the side, Joe saw that half of my eyeball was bloody. I told him he should have said, “Hey, look over there because your eyeball is a bloody mess.” That would have worked for me.
We chalked it up to a broken blood vessel and went on with our day. That night, though, Joe noticed what appeared to be a scratch on my eyeball. So, yesterday we went to our optometrist to see what he thought. It didn’t hurt like a cut on the eye normally would, but if it was a cut we didn’t want it to get infected.
The verdict: a broken blood vessel with pooled blood that could resemble a cut. It should go away in the next 3-5 weeks. Until then, whenever someone asks me what happened to my eye, I’ll get to say I learned my lesson for snoring.

A Cropping we will Go
I am going to my first crop in a *long* time tomorrow. I just really haven’t been motivated to scrapbook for a while. Last year found me bummed a lot of the time, and I’m always so tired that I’m embarrassed to be the first to leave because I have to go to bed.
Tomorrow is an afternoon crop, though, so it’ll be a good one to start back with. I spent today looking through layouts and sketching pages so all I will have to do when I get there is crop my pictures and stick them on. I think a lot of what frustrated me was staring at a page and having no idea what to do with it. Hopefully preparing like this will help me.
I really do need to get back into scrapbooking. I am literally almost two years behind. On Sunday, I’m planning to reorganize my cluttered scrapping area. Maybe that will help as well. I’ll post pictures of whatever pages I finish. I love your feedback!
