Random Is My Middle Name, Not Really It's Marie

Here are some tidbits that have been floating through my head:

-I just had a really healthy salad and hard boiled egg but ruined it by having a heaping helping of rice pudding that Nani made. I am my own worst enemy sometimes.

-For some reason a moment when Jon and I first moved in together popped into my head. My back was aching so I put a heating pad between myself and our velvet couch. When I got up I noticed that the heat had singed the velvet (it was hardly noticeable). I then went into a crying jag, alternating hyperventilating with "JON WE NEED A NEW COUCH, I CAN'T HAVE A COUCH LIKE THIS". Looking back on this I think Jon needs a medal for helping me through the other side and I obviously needed the therapy sessions that followed.

-I contacted an agent for Frank...I feel kinda guilty about this. I mean on the one hand I know how much he loves meeting new people/being the center of attention, but on the other hand I don't want to be a stage mom and take away his childhood...and then on the other hand (for the sake of argument lets say I have three hands), never mind, I can't, the thought of me having three hands is creeping me out. Long story short I am a little nervous about making the plunge into dog modeling. (Again, just to clarify, it will be Frank doing the modeling not me dressed in dog costume)

-I thought I was doing so well with not shopping, well this is only because I have not really set foot in any stores. I went to Target to get Jon's Call Of Duty video game and WOOSH, I wanted the new Taylor Swift Christmas cd, and Christmas decorations and leggings, I NEED new leggings. Instead I called Jon (much like an addict calling their sponsor) and he helped me stay focus. And I walked out of there with just the video game which Jon reimbursed me for, so technically I did not buy one single thing. Sigh.

Ok I am done for now. Tell me this, what random thought is floating around in your head...

Straight To Voicemail

You know the great thing about having a blog? When you get super annoyed you have a little place to "put them on blast" as the cool kids say. Without further ado, here is my rant about my cell phone carrier. (I have had an iphone for a year now, so you do the math and figure out who my carrier is) For the last four or five months I have randomly been receiving sports updates via text messages which were being texted to me from Yahoo sports updates.

I mean I like sports just fine. But I would never sign up for sports updates. Never.Ever. But sure enough, any time there was a football game on I would receive at least four or five text messages letting me know that the Steelers are ahead by five points or the Forty Niners aren't doing so hot (come on, I don't need a text to let me know that). At first I figured it was a fluke but then weekend after weekend, game after game I got these texts. Texts that were eating into my monthly texts, meaning I had to pay extra for going over my allotted texts.

I have called many times and tried to calmly explain just how darn annoying this was, to which they would assure me "we understand that this must be annoying". Well even though they "understand" not much was done about it and I still received the texts.

Oh the frustration was mounting! So I emailed anyone and everyone I could from yahoo. After quite a few misses I found someone that thinks he may be able to help me, I just have to wait 48 hours to see if whatever this guy did actually worked. An interesting bit of info that this (hopefully) helpful chap told me was that my phone number has been recycled. Meaning someone else had my phone number, subscribed to these sports updates and then switched cell service providers. So my cell provider decided that they would hand the number off to me before making sure that all of these updates have been taken off of my new number.

So basically I am irked beyond belief that I have had to do so much foot work to have my phone work the way it should. Sheesh.
Do you have any rants that you need to get out? Feel free to share in the comment section.

P.S. I know this is random but Nani's etsy shop is up and running. I just had to tell you guys before I forgot ...again. Click here to check it out!
