*squeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!*

I'm getting a DVR!!
OMG, I've wanted one for so long and I always thought it would be way too expensive because I would have to upgrade my cable service, in addition to the DVR service and equipment. My mom has sattelite and she hates it, so she just called and got this awesome deal with everything included for like $80. I couldn't stand it anymore. Now both my mom and my sister are going to have DVR and they barely even watch TV?? No way, not fair. So I finally called to see how much it would be. Only $10 more than what I pay now! I was sure that couldn't be right. I kept asking the girl "So, there's no other fees, or equipment charges or anything?" "No installation fee?" "No fee for the cable box?" "Are you sure?" She claims that there isn't anything else. That everything is included in the $10. I'm still suspicious. Heh.

But for right now? *giddy* I'm getting a DVR next Thursday! Wheeeeeeeeeeee!

*throws videotapes out the window* Oops. I shouldn't have done that. I still have a bunch of shows taped that I haven't seen yet. *giggle*

Monopoly!

Judging from Bob's "What's in your wallet" thread, it seems several of us are collecting the Monopoly game pieces from McDonalds. So, whatcha got? Maybe we can pool our resources to win something and then split the prizes. I thought I had won $500 today, but I had duplicate pieces when I thought I had all 3. Bummer!

I have:

Light blue- Connecticut, Oriental (I thought I had Vermont, but it was another Ct.)
Purple- St. Charles
Orange- St. James
Red- Illinois, Indiana
Yellow- Marvin Gardens
Green- North Carolina, Pacific
Railroads- B&O, Pennsylvania, Reading

Picture time!

Here are some pics from Tate's birthday bowling party.

My BIL's brother makes amazing cakes. Tate was in love with this one. :)

Make a wish!

Aidan was having fun at first...

And then by the end of the day he was so over it. *giggle*

*hack hack*

I am getting sick. I have just about coughed up a lung today. My throat is so sore and scratchy, if I take a deep breath it sends me into a coughing fit. And I can feel my nose preparing to be stuffed. I haven't had a cold in such a long time. I guess my streak is over.

I want to go home and lie down. *sniffle*

If anyone wants to see new pics of Tate and Aidan... buy me a digital camera. :)
Actually, I will try and get my sister to send me some pics from Tate's 5th Birthday party that we had this past Sunday. Hopefully I can post some soon.

Hope everyone is doing well! I don't post comments much these days, but I am still reading. *air smooches*
