May 10th through May 22nd, 2011 - 151-163 days

OK, so it's been two weeks since I've written, and yes, I had another day where I got upset at someone.  Who was it this time?  Yes, it was another customer service rep.  I'm not sure how the customer service reps get under my skin so easily, but here's what happened. I just got my really cool Android phone, and Alltel switched over to AT & T on May 12th.  So, I start downloading some cool apps and there's this one that says, "Download 6 Ringtones Now"  I click on it, thinking if they're charging for the ringtones, I'll be warned first--like EVERY other app in the world!  Well, I click on it, and it says, "Thank you for purchasing your 6 ringtones for $9.99!  The phone has 486,000 free ringtones, so I assure you, I didn't want to purchase 6 of them for $9.99.  I immediately cancelled, and it said I had to call a 1-800 number, which I did.  The lady said, "We're sorry sir, we can't cancel the ringtone now, we'll have to just send you a refund check.  I said, "No, you signed me up under false pretenses, just cancel my ringtones, I don't want the refund."  "We can't do that sir".  Anyway, this went on for about 10 minutes at which time I was so frustrated that I thought my head was going to literally blow off my head, so I just got off the phone.  I sware, sometimes I think Satan himself runs some of the customer service call centers, just to try and get my temperature to rise.

On a happier note, Mitch and Amber are now in Kansas, and they love being married.  Mitch is not selling as much as he'd like, but we're praying for them, and I'm sure they'll do fine.  He's quite the worker, and I actually have no worries about him providing for that little family.  Amber is surrounded by pregnant women, however, and so I don't how long they'll hold out until they have a little bambino.  Mitch already wants kids bad, and Amber is not far off.  Oh well, if I have to be a grandpa, I'm ready!  But, that being said, I do hope they at least wait a little while for their sakes.

It's been an interesting couple of weeks.  The weather has been all over the place, and yesterday was the day set aside by one of the ministers as the "End of the World".   It was supposed to happen at 4PM our time.  Well, I'm writing this on Sunday, and no, I'm not writing from heaven.  So, as you can guess, the end of the world never came.  Kaylee tried to convince me on Friday that I should pull all of the money out of KSS and distribute it amongst the employees, since the end of the world was coming the next day.  Luckily, I didn't fall for that Jedi mind trick.

Corey took 3rd in state in the 2 mile with a time of 9.31.  We were pretty excited.  He graduates on Wed, and we leave to go up to Crystal's wedding.  We are actually renting a car and driving up to Portland, Oregon, because it's cheaper than driving the mini-van, which only gets about 22 miles to the gallon.

Well, life is good, and we're all glad the rapture didn't happen quite yet.  I still have a lot to do!
