Comcast

When the comcast guys came out last week to work on our cable service, I knew they were confused by how long it took them to come up with a fix. Their 'fix' was to replace all the outside cabling and installing an amplifier on the outside of the house. Now, I didn't think to look outside after as they'd already said they'd have someone come bury the new cable within 10 days of them having been there. I went out the front door for the first time since they were here this morning to watch my kids get on the bus. I discovered that their amplifier is plugged into the outlet on my front porch. That is NOT acceptable. When they come to bury their own line, they can come with an electrician and do that the right way. I'm not giving up my outlet on my front porch (of all things) for their plug. Annoying and it detracts from the appearance of my porch.

The plug on my front porch. The amplifier and dangling cables on the side of my house.

My husband says it's probably not worth worrying about as he plans to order AT&T's Uverse for us. Hopefully, he'll do that in a more timely manner than COMCAST with their stuff.

Tallulah Falls/Tallulah Gorge

Other than my daughter getting stung by a yellow jacket and me getting overheated on the stairs going back up, we had a blast.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Muppet Bohemian Rhapsody

I had to show my kids the original Queen video for them to understand why I thought this one was so funny.. *sigh*

Malibu Grand Prix

My son took two of his buddies out to Malibu Grand Prix Saturday with his dad. In theory they also played mini golf, but these are the pictures my husband managed to get. With an unlimited play pass coupon, it's actually worth the outing.

American Girl Overnight

While my son was celebrating his birthday this weekend, I took my daughter on a girl scout outing. We went to Camp Meriwether for their American Girl overnight. We were really fortunate that the troop we were put with was very friendly and accommodating, they made a point of including my daughter in what they did.

Horses like Kaya & Felicity Waltzing like Josephina (we also made tortillas) Pottery & Singularity head bands like Chrissa Paper Lanterns like Julie Dolls like Addy ChaCha Slide as warm-up for the talent show

All in all, I'd say she had a blast.
