I feel like I’ve been a little absent on the blog lately, other than the odd Project 365 post here and there. So today you get a list. It’s not much, but it will do for now.
- Isla started swimming lessons on Tuesday. Actually, they’re on every Tuesday and Thursday until Feb. 14. Anyway, she seems to like them but her attitude is definitely different than last year’s lessons! She was OK walking down the ramp and into the water on her own but once she started to become buoyant, she pretty much freaked out and clung onto me for dear life. Once she got used to it though, she loved it! Although she’s not so crazy about being on her back (she doesn’t even like it in the bathtub though) or being dipped under water (who would?) I’m sure she’ll pass with flying colours though! (Who would flunk a 19 month old anyhow?!)
- Kyle and I got a new kitchen sink and faucet installed on Wednesday. You know you’re an adult when these these get you excited! Our old one was looking a little skuzzy so we made a trip to Home Depot to pick new ones. It’s shiny and beautiful and I almost don’t want to do dishes because I don’t want to ding up the new hardware. But I will. Boo.
- My new tattoo is pretty much all healed up and OMG IT ITCHES SO MUCH STILL. Ugh.
- The rear-facing camera on my cellphone had something wrong with it (weird black specks) so I had to have it sent away for repair. Except it wasn’t that easy of a task to get done, as it turns out. First, I go to the mall store where I bought it and it turns out that they don’t do warranty stuff and directed me to the downtown location to have it sent away. Fine. I loaded Isla up into the truck and went downtown. Then, because for whatever reason my maiden name is on my account and not my married name, the girl downtown needed a piece of ID with a name that matched the account. She gave me their phone to call customer service and have my name changed. Except it’s apparently not that simple either. The guy on the phone said I had to FAX my marriage certificate AND birth certificate in order to have it changed. (WTF, especially since I changed my name on my CREDIT CARD without providing any of that?!) Clearly, I was not impressed and told him that. Then, while I was on hold (again) so he could talk to his superiors to see if something else could be done, the girl and her boss were discussing my issue and suggested I just add my married name as an authorized user on my own account. So I did that. I’m authorized to use my own cellphone account, YAAAAAY! Oh, and it will take 2-6 weeks for my phone to be fixed. Bastards.
- Sidenote: Why do cellphone providers in Canada screw you so badly? We pay an arm and a leg for their services and they still find a way to dick us around. Asshats.
- I have hit a meal planning slump and I feel that I’m making the same thing over and over again. Please feel free to comment below with links to your favorite recipes! You can only browse Pinterest so much before everything just starts looking the same.
- That’s about it for today. Happy Friday!!
