Good News/Bad News About Halloween

The good news is that not one trick-or-treater has come to our door.

The bad news is that not one trick-or-treater has come to our door.

(We have bags of candy. I like candy. Sigh.)

Fun!

We just had a great dinner with Kelsey & Mel. At least I thought it was great. It’s so wonderful to see them again, and to get to spend this short time together. They’ve been married for over four months now. Yay! :-)

I’m not Going To Watch It But …

Eleventh Hour is on now, and I guess it’s going to be taking place in San Jose. (Not that they would have filmed it here.) It would be fun to see what “San Jose” looks like on the show. Too bad I have to get up early!

Very Strange

Yesterday Dan brought in a notice that was on our gate (at least I’m assuming that’s where it was):

FINAL NOTICE

T-Mobile has provided you information about a planned construction project in your neighborhood. This project will deliver enhancements to your telecommunications network and will require additional equipment in the public “Right of Way”.

Construction to being in 2 days: 10/27/08

We encourage you to call T-Mobile with any questions or comments.

(925) XXX-XXXX

Thank you.

(I’m leaving out the phone number just in case.)

Well … I called, which was, perhaps, a stupid thing to do. I wonder. I got nothing. No ring, nothing.

Not only that, but if this is the FINAL notice, where was another? We never received anything. And 2 days from yesterday would not be 10/27/08 either. And why would they have us call a number outside of our area code?

Sigh.

I just called the 888 number for T-Mobile. The woman took down all the information, but couldn’t really help me. She said she hoped someone else would have an answer for me. Meanwhile I just wonder what the heck this is. Can someone do some sort of scam if you call a bogus number? Is that possible? Or am I worrying about nothing?

I do hope to hear from T-Mobile, but of course if it wasn’t them they probably won’t really care.

Brain Age?

So according to this, and what I read in English elsewhere, this is supposed to tell me my brain age. Which was 34. Okay then.

If you go there, you hit “start” and then there will be a countdown. After that you see numbers and after they go away you’ll see circles in their place. You have to click on the circles, going by the lowest number you saw to the largest. Like a memory game. You know? (If this isn’t making sense I’m sure you’ll figure it out quickly.)

Thought for the day

I need a makeover. Badly.

That is all.

ARGH!

A short time ago Dan suggested that we go down to the candy shop and pick up a chocolate candy bar. I explained that, while walking downtown earlier, I thought it was time to behave and skip chocolate.

Now I’m totally craving chocolate.

I think it’s Dan’s fault. Don’t you?

We Be Coordinated

I set my glass of wine down on the coffee table and proceeded to spill most of it on the carpet. (No, I hadn’t had any yet, so we can’t blame the wine!) Dan quickly got up to get a towel and tossed it my way. Then he proceeded to spill a bit of his huevo ranchero on the carpet. I thanked him for making me feel better about my little accident. We were laughing and Jameson was, I’m sure, wondering what was up with his very clumsy parents as we all cleaned up mess #2.

Then Jameson spilled some of his dinner on the carpet.

Yes, indeed. We be coordinated. ;-)

Too Darn Funny

The Routan Boom

I just saw a commercial about the Routan Boom, so I went to YouTube and found this longer video. I’m sorry, but this just cracks me up. I can’t help it. I’m sad that way. Or maybe I’m funny that way. And yay for Brooke Shields.

Oh no!

It is 6:45 PM. I am not yet in my pajamas.

I’m so worried. ;-)

No, not really. But now that I’ve typed that, I want to go get in my pjs. Because … well … pjs are like “comfort food for the body”. Don’t you think?
