Long time, no blog.
You know, funny thing. After my last post where I was making fun of how I didn't Wii Fit regularly.... my Wii stopped reading game discs. Like just three days later.
In things-that-are-awesome news, I haven't posted here since Obama became President. I think I was afraid I'd just gloat. OK, so, let me just say this. What I found the most refreshing in the days after the inauguration was seeing leaders of foreign countries on the tv, and they sounded (dare I say it) hopeful about their relationship with our country.
That was a long eight years.
So, word on the street is that the economy is in the basement these days. I decided to fight back by joining Costco. Or... I guess that's fighting back. I don't know. I paid them for the privilege of being able to buy stuff from their store. Like bulk chewing gum. Bulk microwave popcorn. Bulk soup. And professional massage tables.* Also, if you're a member you can buy gas from them (which looks to be slightly cheaper than the gas stations I've been frequenting.)
In other penny-pinching news, this is going to be the week I finally cancel my home phone. I've got a nice cell phone -- I don't need the old landline anymore. Lately, having a home phone has just been more of a pain then it's worth. I'll get home from work and I'll find messages on my answering machine that I can't return because it was from some company and business hours are over. Or I'll have messages from telemarketers who don't care that I'm on the federal do-not-call list. I just don't really see the use for it anymore. And when you add in the fancy call features I'm paying for (like "selective call rejection" to block some of those aforementioned telemarketers) I've been spending $40 a month for my home phone service. Do you know how much bulk chewing gum that will buy?
*I didn't actually buy any professional massage tables.
