Friday, Saturday, & Sunday...pheww, it's over!

Been so busy with work, work, and more work that I haven't had time to write as much as I've wanted to.  There hasn't been much going on since Banfield is holding me hostage ;)  But whatever, I think I'll just do a weekend wrap up.

Friday- My entire day consisted of working and trying to pay bills online between appointments.  I also decided to order myself a new phone (the Samsung Omnia).  I spent the last two weeks trying to figure out if I should buy this phone.  I didn't really need a new one, I wanted a new one!  Then Verizon sent me this special upgrade offer, so I thought this must be God telling me to buy this phone.  Perhaps it was a coincident.  Take your pick.  The offer was only valid through January 27th (see that's how they get you --'limited time only: ACT NOW!' specials).  Less than 24 hours after making my order I felt so grateful that I decided to 'ACT NOW'....

Saturday- While at work everyday I use the calculator in my phone.  It's essential (for me).  I have to calculate medicine dosages, pulse & heart rates, etcetera.  Saturday while I'm doing my daily routine, without thinking twice I go to use my calculator. Well my phone decides it's going to do what it wants.  Long story short, the phone refused to send text messages, or allow me to use the calculator, nor would it let me answer when I received a call.  I had someone take it Verizon for me.  When I picked it up a few hours later I was told that basically they would need to give me a new phone(the same exact kind).  Which would cost me $50.00  ARE YOU KIDDING ME???  Really Verizon, are you kidding me?  So naturally I told them "uh no, give me my old phone back".  Is there really a point in buying a new phone, when I have one on the way?  So whatever, I'm keeping the crappy phone until Tuesday.  As far as work goes, Saturday was hellacious!  I thought I'd never get out of there.  I love working everyday, but I'm thinking it'll soon be time for another vacation, in a last ditch attempt to save myself from insanity :)

Sunday- I got to sleep in a little.  I've been spending all my time today at home with my dogs.  It feels so great to have be able to come home to them after having a stressful weekend.  Greeted with yapping, warm kisses, & smiles. 

Oh yeah, I thought I'd share this bulletin that was posted by one of my friends on myspace.  All the reasons why gay marriage is wrong.

1) Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.




2) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.




3)Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.




4) Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn't changed at all; women are still property, blacks still can't marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.




5) Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of Britany Spears' 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.




6) Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn't be allowed to marry because our orphanages aren't full yet, and the world needs more children.




7) Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.




8) Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours,the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That's why we have only one religion in America.




9) Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That's why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.




10) Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven't adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans.


sarcasm at it's finest :)
