-20!!!

That's what weather.com says the temperature "feels like" right now. That's crazy! Twenty below. The temp is 0 degrees. I really can't stand it.

Exciting days!!

My first sewing project :) They're little "socks" filled with rice to go over our drafty window seals - draft dodgers. We'll see if they insulate our windows any, but they were a great way to start to get to know my sewing machine. Yes, I know that they are two different sizes, I was trying to see how big I could go and still have them rest on the window without falling off.


Our new computer is in!! Steve is saying "honey, put away the camera and let me get down to business".

And look how big our urchin is. Pictures of the aquarium don't do justice.

Wrong number

So on Christmas day I got a voicemail from a number I didn't recognize. This guy says "Hey! Jack and Judy! It's Tom just wishing you a very Merry Christmas!" Funny, considering I say my name very clearly on my voicemail message, and it's clearly not either Jack or Judy.

So then over the weekend my phone rings and it's a number I don't recognize, but I answer anyway.
Me: "Hello?"
Strange Number Man: "Judy!"
I say, "no, this is Angela". Thinking that he'd realize his mistake.
He says, "Oh, Angela. I'm looking for Jack Something-or-other".
I tell him "I think you've got the wrong number". I already feel weird that I told him my name, I should have just said that he had the wrong number and left it at that.
Then he starts in: "Oh, well I'm sorry... no I'm not sorry, I'm glad that you answered the phone. Tell me, what state do you live in?". I pause. Steve yells from the other room to just hang up. I have a problem with being 'mean' to people, I just can't do it. I can't hang up without saying anything.
"Um, I don't really feel comfortable answering that question", I say. I feel like I should explain that I don't really have any clue who he is, and just because he dialed the wrong number doesn't mean that I have to give away any personal information to this guy. Not that I thought he's a weird stalker, I just don't want to talk to him.
Him: "What STATE do you live in?"
I hung up. And I felt guilty. I don't know why :) Weird!

Frustrating

I went to pick up our brand new computer last night. I had specifically asked that it be held at the warehouse until I pick it up, because I knew that we'd both be at work when they tried to deliver, so no one could sign for it. I dropped Steve off at church and headed over to pick it up. When I got there, they started with the questions about if someone else would have been just in to pick it up? an older gentleman was just in and signed for it, I don't know what happened, etc. They gave our computer to someone else! I guess it's back at the shipping warehouse today for us to pick up, but someone else already opened the box and looked through it! It doesn't look like Dell will do anything about it, maybe DHL will do something to compensate. How annoying!

Looks like Blogger is the place to be now. I'm giving it a try.
