So long Charter!

"I'm going to reach in there and slap her in the face.  I can do that with this new U-verse, right?"

I said as the person on The Food Network show was annoying me.

So we finally got rid of Charter.  U-verse is finally in our area and we have actual TV channels again.  Granted, it's only for 30 days (free trial) because we aren't paying $70 for TV, but we'll be able to watch The Cardinals as they (hopefully) make it back to The World Series.  I'm a very fickle sports fan.  I follow the St. Louis teams only when they are doing something good.  I really can't tolerate baseball beyond that.  The games are too long and too boring.

I have to just say, I love my family.

I mean...I REALLY love my family.

Kris and Katherine were having a discussion this evening.

Kris asked Katherine to do him a huge favor.

Things only Abbey could say

I can remember, as a child getting in trouble for sitting in the craziest positions, especially at the dinner table.  I always had to have my legs up or hanging over a chair, or folded up in some odd position.  Kris tells me he had the same problem.  But Kris got an award in 8th grade; he thinks it was for something like "101 Ways To Sit".

And to entertain and annoy us, God has blessed us with a child who shows us just what our parents went through with us.

Want another laugh??

Remember me jumping out of my skin yesterday, because my mother-in-law opened her van door someone was trying to kill me?  It happened again today.  We went to McDonald's for lunch today with my mother-in-law and a friend, and I was explaining to our friend what had happened with the van door.  I swear it wasn't but 5-10 minutes later when suddenly I felt something touching my lower back.  Of course, this terrified me (because it was so unexpected), and I jumped (quite visibly) and knocked my soda over, all over the table and my lap!  I had soda all over my shirt and jeans and there everyone sat, laughing at me!  Katherine and Abbey got a HUGE kick out of it.

I'm a nervous wreck!

Want to know what happened?  Katherine had come up to the booth behind us and poked me with the end of a small flag, thinking she was being funny.  I didn't find it funny.  Not one bit!  Of course I can laugh about it now, but after the van incident yesterday, I felt compelled to share today's little scare as well.  Oh the joys of anxiety!  :-)
