Somewhere downtown....
Random 5's
1) Soooo we switched internet providers this week. We've had Comcast ever since moving here to Va. Started out ok..but then when you have an outage...good luck with that. They automatically blame your system...then when you finally convince them that it is on their side they will come out and then "oh, yeah, it's something on our side"...duh....so that wasn't even the worst of it. So like I said, we've been great customers since 2008. The last few years our internet charge went from the "promotional" $40 a month to $80 a month. Who pays $80 for internet anymore? It's not a new thing. So every 6 months our bill goes to $80 and then Nick has to call and complain and they will give us a new $40 promotion that is good for another 6 months. Well needless to say we end up paying the $80 for a couple of months before we realize it since it's automatically drafted from our bank account. What a PITA! Switched this week to Lumos, cheaper and supposedly better with the fiber optics. Whatever...I'm just happy to be back online! Shame on you Comcast for treating loyal customers like crap but giving new customers the best deals. Isn't that the way with every company now-a-days though?
2) Ash is back in town for a long weekend. The boys have a surprise birthday party to attend on Sunday so I thought Ash and I would catch a movie since the theater is right across the street from the party locale. Thinking of seeing The Giver. It has Meryl Streep in it. That's all I need to know! I really also want to see When The Game Stands Tall but I'll save that to see with the boys....
3) Speaking of games, the boys have been playing really well. Braden has been announced leader of the team for the 1st two games! Kind of pi$$es Dalton off since they are so competitive with one another lol. That's Braden in the white jersey. He just got an interception. Got tackled in the next frame or two...that's Braden's thing, interceptions. He prides himself on them!
4) Had some Basil in the garden that I didn't want to lose. My Basil didn't really grow like crazy this year but still...had a bit to save. Then I heard on Martha Stewart radio where someone called in that they make "Basil Balls" with their leftover Basil. Blanch the leaves then freeze in individual serving sized balls and pull out all winter when you want fresh Basil! So that's what I did this afternoon. Made Basil Balls. What a great idea!

5) Sad news about Joan Rivers. What a ground breaker she was. I have to say I never liked her when she was being so nasty on the red carpet but as a comedian she was hilarious. The end of an era....her family must be devasted...so out of the blue...
