I also wrote a letter to someone who has continued to disrespect me. They won't be doing that any longer.
I could sleep forever now.

Picture frames and stuff
I am sending a few of my ice storm pictures to my grandparents to show my appreciation for them. I got a frame at Target for about $20 that fits all three of them. The first one I wanted to get was darker and I'm glad I didn't get it cause it would have looked wierd in their house. Usually I don't give pictures as gifts even though I want to because everyone's taste is different and I don't want them to feel bad if they don't want to hang it. I think my grandparents will like this though. They have always encouraged my photography since I was like 15. I have done quite a bit of frame shopping and they are quite expensive. I did manage to get 5 or 6 4x6 frames at the dollar store and then I realized you can't hang them up so I have to get special hardware to do that. Most of the time I leave all my pics as Digital files, so I'm trying to break that habit and get some printed. I got the photos developed at Delaware Cam for .19 each. If anyone knows a cheaper place but equal quality let me know.
Here is the completed frame. It looks better in person. The lighting made it look yellowish.
I entered Coco into a photo contest for some rabbit magazine but haven't heard back. I'm not sure my pics do so well in contests but I love them all the same. Wab isn't the type that they usually feature in the publication. We didn't even know what his "breed" was. I don't care really. People that care all that much about breeds are sometimes a bit crazy. I used to show dogs so I know. It was so stupid.
Here is Coco. I think I notice him aging. I kind of like it, you don't always get to see rabbits aging. Maybe he is 4 years old?
The frame I got for my grandparents is kind of big. Im not even sure what to do to send it. Maybe I'll just go to mailboxes etc. and ask them to pack it and everything. I hope it isn't super expensive because i'm trying not to squander my money.

Hail Mary
So I guess escallating the war is being called a Hail Maliki pass, as in the Hail Mary pass in football. I have always liked this prayer for some reason.
So here are some quotes from our DEFENSE SECRETARY
"I would confess I am no expert on Iraq."
"I am no expert of military matters."
How sad.
Maybe I just don't know the full context of these quotes, but they are still scary. I feel bad for the troops that have to serve longer than they had signed up for. What a way to get shit on.

Alvin! Simon! Theodore!
When I loved Christmas, I would play the Alvin and the Chimpmunk's Xmas album on my fisher price record player. It would drive my parents insane to hear their 'chipmunk' voices all high and chipmunk like 24/7. I can't imagine why they wouldn't like it. A couple of years ago I found the album on vinyl in perfect condition.
Wascally Wabbit chewed the corners oh so slightly. Now it is in near mint condition...
One Xmas me and my brother and sister all got a Chipmunk doll. My older sister got Simon, I got Alvin and my brother got THeodore. When you pull the string it would say things like "Alvin loves you"
I also had this. It is so awesome.
At a flea market in Florida I found Theodore out of the three in their glassware set. Now I just need to find Alvin and Simon.

More camera phone pics
I finally put the plastic in the windows. Look its crystal clear. Just in time for the nasty weather. It is snowing and windy now.
My mom's husband found this lamp for me at a flea market. The piggy is a lighter that shoots flames out of his nostrils.
My roommate
I made this the background on my phone. The plant hangs over into my bed so its sort of like I am one with it.
Oops almost forgot this one. Got this calendar for my roommates birthday. Its called Extraordinary Chickens. Yes it would have been a great gift for (e:mike), but he doesn't use calendars. You guys should see these chickens. I had no idea chickens could be so exotic. One of them looks like an Arctic chicken or something because of his downlike plumage.

My new phone
My new phone is so cool. Best of all when my phone rings the ring doesn't make me want to slit my wrists. $10 after rebate.
Pics I can upload to the computer via text messaging. Here is a tester.
This means that all the times of thinking "oh I wish i had a camera so i could post this on estrip", i'll have one.
How fun!
I went with Verizon. The phone is superclear and amazing reception in my apt. What a relief. I went with a 450 min a month plan which i have decided isn't enough, so i'll have to upgrade to 900.

Phone hell
These stupid companies are at the point of making me want to blow something up. Oops are we allowed to say that? I was just kidding I swear. Please don't send homeland security after me.
There is nothing that gets me more aggravated than calling companies only to get caught up in a complicated system of push 1 for this, 2 for this, 3 for that.
HSBC has this new security key code I have to enter to do online banking. I forgot it twice. They only give you two opportunities to enter code and if they are incorrect they lock it forever until you call the 800# to have them unlock it. Once it is unlocked you have to reset everything and then call them back. They then ask you a million questions and keep you on the phone for like fifteen minutes with someone who doesn't speak english all that well.
Then I decide to pay my CRICKET bill two days early. Usually I don't remember until they send me a text message the day before it is due to remind me. I can't stand this government phone anymore. The service is horrible and I can't even have a converstation with my boyfriend without dropping the call or not being able to hear or some crap. I get only 30 minutes of roaming time a month which is almost nothing considering if you call and get someone's voicemail and hang up right away they charge you two minutes for. They also delete minutes everytime you text. So for $60/mo I pay for my aggravation.
To make things worse CRICKET has changed their payment policy. If you are one day late they charge you $15. If you are three, goodbye service. They use to allow extensions but now on top of crummy service they are unbearably rigid. You can't call and talk to someone about it because they force you to pay your bill before allowing you the luxury of talking with one of their phone bitches. I owe $30 in late payments now and I have decided to not give them any money at all. I'm getting a new phone. Does anyone have a plan that doesn't suck?
