It's Been A While

I realize that I haven't been posting to my site. I have been so busy that I honestly just forgot.

Well, I have some good news to share. I recently spoke to an old friend that I have been trying to find for a long time. If you read my blog you may remember me mentioning that I would have liked to get in touch with an old friend of mine while I was visiting "home". The other night while I was on the phone with my mother she received a phone call. She told me that she would call me on three way because somebody wanted to speak to me. So she called me on three-way and the person started talking to me and I got so excited. I knew who it was. We talked for about three hours. She got married two years ago and had a baby about 3 months ago. So now I can't wait to go back "home" so that I could go visit her and her family.

My Sister-in-Law and her husband will be out here on the 5th. I can't wait! I love the fact that I will finally have family close enough to visit whenever I want.

I have to go and get ready for a Bar-B-Que so I'll be back whenever something interesting happens. Hopefully I'll be able to tell you guys that I found a job.

He's Aching All Over

My husband finally told me how golfing went yesterday. When he finally got home he didn't share too much I had to pull it out of him after a few hours. He said he wasn't very good at golf. "Oh really?" I didn't say it I only thought it. He wants to go back but he said he thinks he hurt his wrist and his forearm was in pain also. He also said that he enjoyed himself and he would like to go again but he needs to practice teeing off. So now he wants to go to a driving range. I guess I'll have to see what I can do because he wants to get a set of clubs. Father's day and his birthday are coming up really soon so maybe I can find something for him. I don't know what I could get seeming as though I still don't have a job but I'll see. Maybe I can find a set of clubs in July and say that it is a late gift. Hopefully I'll have a job by then. Well I gotta go I am about to go do some reading and try a little writing today. I'll be back soon.

They Are on Their Way!!!!

My Sister-In-Law and her brood are getting on the plane tomorrow to come back to the states. They arrive on the 14th and will be visiting family in Louisiana before they make the trek to "good ole" Arizona. (That was supposed to be sarcasm) I have gotten a few things for her to help with getting the kids registered for school and "The Husband" and I have looked through a few rental listings for them also. So hopefully the transition will go smoothly.

As for us, we have become the lazy family. We just sit around play games, watch TV, eat, and sleep. Well, "The Husband" does work. I am still looking. I'll get something sooner or later. Anyway, "The Husband" got invited to go golfing this morning. I thought that was pretty funny because he has never golfed a day in his life. He is so open to new things so he would try just about any sport. When I got up this morning I got on the internet because I wanted to find out what he should wear. Come to find out he was way ahead of me. He was already checking out sites on golf. I swear that man researches everything. So about an hour later he is running out the door in shorts, a T-shirt, and tennis yelling, "I'm gonna win! I'm gonna beat all of them!" I just start laughing and remind him that he has never golfed before. He obviously doesn't see that as a setback. Well, good for him. He has all the confidence he needs to go out there set up to tee off and swing and miss. That would be funny. OK let me stop being hard on him. I have faith in my husband! Good Luck Baby!!!!!!

I'll have to come back and let you know how his morning went.

Finally someone with sense...

I decided to call Cingular back to complain about sending my phone to Motorola. I explained to them that if I sent my phone to Motorola then I would be out of a cell phone for a while. The lady put me on hold and read all the notes in the system from each time that I called and tried to figure something out for me. When she got back I told her that I was to the point that I would accept the downgrade. She then asked me if the people explained to me that if I accepted the downgrade I would not be able to upgrade again unless I bought a new phone or waited for my time to come up for an upgrade. I told her that nobody explained that to me and that it was a little messed up for them to offer a downgrade anyway. So, finally the lady told me that since I have had so much trouble with all the phones that have been sent out she would try to get authorization to get me a free upgrade. Guess what, she succeeded. So they gave me a free upgrade and they are express shipping it (over night) free of charge!

Oh Yeah, I forgot to tell you that the lady that helped me out so good had the same name as me. It wasn't spelled the same but who cares. We Kellie's are great people. HA! HA! HA!

Down With Cingular!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For the past two weeks I have been going back and forth with cingular over the replacement phones that they have sent me. One day my original phone just decided to stop telling the correct time. The time that it was pulling from the network was 3 hours off of the correct time and the date was a week off. So I called them to see if they could fix it. They couldn't so they sent me a replacement phone. Well, that didn't work either. The replacement phone wouldn't even pull up the time I had to manually put it in myself. I know I sound anal but if the original phone pulled the time from the network then my replacement phone should too. Isn't that what I pay for?????? Well, here I am on the third replacement phone and it still doesn't work. And guess what? They asked me if I wanted them to send me a downgrade. UHHHH Let's see... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Send me a damn phone that works!!!!!!!!!! No, I didn't tell them that; but, I sure did want to! I was trying so hard to hold my tongue. The lady that I was talking to transferred me to her supervisor and he did some type of conference call with technical support. Guess what, they couldn't help either! So then the man transfers me to Motorola and tells me that they have to update the software! So now I am talking to some man that I could barely understand at Motorola that is telling me to ship my phone to them so that I could get the software updated. WHAT??? So I just got real upset and had to get off the phone.

So, these are my options:
take a downgrade or ship my phone to Motorola so that they can upgrade the software. Lord knows how long that would take.
