Verizon is teh suck
So, I began the rigmarole to convert my cell phone from a sub-account of my parents' family plan to my own family plan (with
littledee5 as a secondary), and my God, is it a pain in the ass...
I called 611 and talked to a nice customer service associate who called my folks and "unlocked" my line (with their authorization) so I can make the move. She asked me if I wanted to talk to a certain department, basically so they can have me on tape accepting the terms of the new contract, and I declined, because we were going to drive to a local Verizon store to continue the transfer. Little did I know, the local stores can't access the northeastern computer systems (where my line is being stored), and the department who could handle it - closed at 5pm.
So my number is free to go, but I can't do anything else about it.
I did get to go food shopping for the first time. We set up a meal plan and a food list, and I went to Shopper's. I actually managed to get everything on the list (minus some philly cream cheese, oh well) and added some extra things. All in all, I ended up spending $177. Some of that was on things we didn't have at the house (like a meat thermometer, coffee, tea, etc), and others were things I wanted in addition to what we had listed. We got a lot of fresh veggies, frozen vegetables for meals, a rump roast.
Which brings me to tonight's activities: prepping raw vegetables. I got to use the food processor we received as an engagement gift to process green pepper and cucumbers, and broke apart some cauliflower and broccoli. So we have fresh raw vegetables, bag salad, apples and bananas, and all kinds of other goodies ready for the week ahead.
If there's one thing I've learned over these past few weeks: I SUCK at Dr. Mario 2-player. No matter what the stakes, even at 1/2 the level that
littledee5 is at, I win a three-round contest 1 in every 30 attempts. If you ever want to bet me on anything, just play me in Dr. Mario. You'll win every time!
