I’m officially mired in the 3rd trimester laziness.? That’s the only way to explain why I keep slacking off in writing.? Just plain lazy.? Well, and I haven’t been watching Angels lately.? That’s kinda disturbed the “flow”.

So, Saturday.? Hmm.? Oh!? I finally got my phone replaced.? We went down to Cingular (since they never did call us).? Thankfully, they had one in stock.? We enjoyed the part where she told us if the factory found we’d damanged the old phone we’d have to pay for the new one.? Ahh.? Gotta love the customer service.? Brings a tear to the eye.

After that, it was time to eat.? We drove down to Taco Bell and gorged.? Mmm…? tacos.? They taste really good to me right now.? Maybe I’ll have to get one of those taco kits at the store on Friday.? I don’t think I’m quite taco’d out yet.? Maybe I need more TB runs. Then we went to Best Buy.? K wanted to see about getting the laptop battery replaced.? Apparently, we’d bought this three year service contract that said we could get our battery replaced.? Wonderfully enough, the customer service lines at Best Buy are phenomenally slow.? I peeked around, determining that yes, my computer does indeed suck balls.? Just give me one more year.? I’ll get a computer that’ll make them all WEEP.

We made a quick swing through Krispy Kreme for some ‘nuts and then headed home.? In S9 news, the next challenge took place, K Sara and Trent were in the first phase which ended up being endurance.? HoldtheButton.com to be exact.? He did well, nearly six hours.? Now, Sunday we had to see if we got a paper.? We’d gotten one every day last week.? EVERY DAY.? So did we have a paper?? Of course not! Why would we?? It’s not like we ordered Sunday Only delivery or anything. :P? Dumb jerks.

So we eventually pulled ourselves together and headed over to our bright, shiny new Walmart.? There they had the paper for 99 cents.? As compared to the $1.50 newsstand price.? Bonus!? We had lunch at the shiny new McDonalds in the shiney new Walmart.? Kinda surreal.? But it was Walmart.? And it was good food.? And heck, you could even refill your drink right there in the store.? Now that’s class.

We poked around a little bit.? K found a belt he liked and we found The Phone.? We’d looked for this one at ShopKo.? It was $30 there and sold out.? They had the same phone for shy of $19.? :eek? So I’ll be getting that on Friday.? H was being a pain, but then, what else is new? Not much else to say about Sunday.? It was what it was.? And Monday was just that.? Monday.? Let’s see.? I made an update.? Woo.? Exciting news there!? It was fascinating stuff.? A kitchen.? Very pretty. It was showcased today so that oughta tell you something.

Phase two of the challenge took place.? Wouldn’t you know it was Christina and I?? I had K come home from work (bringing Safeway chinese takout with him) so he could help me. Turns out it was fairly siple since we had such good endurance times.? The important thing is we won.? We finally won!? Ha!? It felt wonderful.

Then it was Tuesday.? I’ve been discussing with Doug, ex-SimLair skinner.? He wants me to host his site.? He was willing to go pay but I think it might be simpler to be free with some donation sets.? :)? We’ll see how it all shakes out.? Let’s see.? What else happened on Tuesday?? The New Hampshire Primary.? Bad news is Clark placed 3rd. :P? Good news is Dean was second.? Kerry won AGAIN.? I’ll vote for whoever I have to, but I’d rather vote for Clark.

Not really much else to report.? Pretty average, boring day.

Today was nice, for a Wednesday.? It rained some last night and was really cold so there ws tons of ice out there.? And it was really foggy this morning.? Pretty unusual for these parts.? I worked on an another update.? I’m just a workaholic, aren’t I? ;)? This was a living set and I’m rather proud of it.? I did some great editing of an endtable and incorporated a big ol fishtank into the decor while I was at it.? I’ll put it out in the morning.? I spent a good potion of the day working on that.

Subs have been pretty good this week.? So I thought we could use an IHOP coupon and go out to eat.? I was in the mood for breakfast.? I got the Viva La French Toast.? It was a bit much for me.? But nice to have it and not have to worry about dinner or anything.? After, we cruised by Walmart.? I wanted to get H a new Bear video.? He’s been insane watching Bear this week.? I’m sick of the videos we have.? So got him a DVD. I also got the other two Key books so I’m good to go on books.? And that’s when we saw Divided in Death. :eek? I didn’t even know it was out!? So of course we had to get that too.? I’ll be set through March!

Right now, we’re watching Stealing Harvard.? It’s pretty funny.? Killing time before Celebrity Mole comes on.? That show is the bomb.? I’ll be so sad when it’s over.
