Evil Gibbet of Death

Matt finally brought Gibbet over for a playdate. She was friendly to me. She would sniff Smokey/Bandit/Thor acting all innocent and then *SNAP* attack. Bandit had an indention and almost bled. Smokey hid for like 15 minutes before being coaxed out of hiding. It was sad. So I believe Matt about his ferret now. Vicious, sneaky creature he has. I think maybe she got the taste for fresh meat somewhere along the way. I don't know. And then I ferret sat while Matt went to the Python talk. Luckily I had an extra cage. She would lay in the hammock and drink water upside down from the water bottle. She has more personality than mine. I think mine have been caged too long. Anyway...

Weekend with the fam

I got dressed friday to go take care of the phone business and decided to try it before I left and it worked. So I didn't have to mess with it. My fam showed up fri night at 1. Zoi woke at 5 so I was tired all weekend. It was frickin cold on Sat but we went to the Mardi Gras parade anyway, 'cause it was the only chance we had to go. Due to the weather there wasn't anyone there so we got tons of junk. The girls had fun. Then Mike was here and we had ribs Sunday. Yummy. And That's all in my world. Doug sent me the coolest thing. Here's a link. It's a knitted GI tract. So neat. Anyway...

Down with Verizon Wireless

I went to Cullman on Sunday afternoon. My great-Uncle died and so I went up for the funeral. I returned on Tues for heart shaped hamburgers from my hunnie. My family are to arrive this evening and spend the weekend. I bought a new cellphone while I was up. We had 3 prepay phone. The oldest was a nokia 252 that's battery died. Verizon doesn't sell batteries for it because it is so old. So I had been thinking of buying a new one and getting a plan for some time now so I did that. The idea was to transfer her account to the phone I had and lose the 13 dollars worth of minutes that I had. They couldn't do it. They got the number transferred but the phone won't call out now. And they couldn't fix it. And sisn't even try to help. I asked if I could transfer the $70 minutes to phone #3. but no. It is a different # and therefore cannot transfer. SO I have to buy a $70 phone to save my $70 minutes or I just lose my minutes and money. It's frickin retarded. I was so pissed I started crying, which I think is counterproductive when you are trying to tell people that they are idiots and trying to obtain assistance from them so i left. I am hoping to get it taken care of down here today. Wish me luck.

Knitting away....

The chili cookoff this past weekend was fun. I wasn't to fond of the Kangaroo Stew. It was too sweet for me. Everything else was good. This is the first year I've had to mess with taxes so I'm gonna try and take care of that today. Otherwise I knit. I am working on the Dr. Who scarves now. It is an undertaking and I don't know that it'l ever get finished. They are very large. Thor bit me on Sunday. So I relinquish my claim on him. We are no longer friends. I don't believe in getting bit. It is most uncool. Anyway. I have to go do chores today. My family are supposed to be coming down the weekend of the 17th for the mardi gras parades. They have never been in the 6 years I have lived here.
