Frustration with links.

Well, Blogger will not allow me to post a photo of the boys in front of Auschwitz so I am forced to be a little more creative. Today's post will be all about links. You can see the photo of my world travelers here. I was going to post more of their photos last night but I was having internet issues. Story too long and boring to go into, so we'll leave it at that.

Yesterday in an e-mail I told the Roommate I missed him but he probably didn't miss me because he was in Europe. He said he did miss me just as much, only not as often.

I have been frustrated lately, to say the least. Money problems, the afore mentioned Internet issues, allergies and SOMEONE has been taking advantage of the Roommate being gone and has been misbehaving just like the spoiled rotten child he is. Had a little time out in the kennel last night and he wasn't happy about that, nosirre!

Since the Roommate had the floor refinished in the sun room while he is away I decided to go ahead and paint the walls, since all the furniture has been removed and pictures taken off the walls (the latter because of the dust kicked up by the sander). Since we have steel blue throw pillows and curtains in the room I decided to go with a very pale blue. When I went to the paint store I second guessed myself and got a more blue paint and when the clerk put the little sample of paint on the can lid I figured I went too light because it was almost white. Then when I put some on the wall it turned out to be the color of an infant boy's nursery, and you know how I feel about babies. So hauled the gallon of paint on the train with me this morning and pawned it off on a coworker who just had a baby boy and went back to the store and got my original color and had to wait 30 minutes while the stupid couple in front of me picked out about 7 colors and had them all mixed. My clerk evidently couldn't multi-task so I had to wait till they had all their paint before he'd take my order for Delicate Blue in a satin finish. I then went home to spend my Monday evening painting the room only to find out once I arrived home that the dumb ass clerk mixed SEMI-GLOSS. Nice. So I was forced to watch On Demand "Sex and the City" and drink wine only to I haul the gallon of paint on the train with me and managed to pawn it off on a coworker who's wife just had a baby boy. That means this evening it's back to the paint store to kick some dumb-ass-clerk-ass and get my non-lip gloss shiny blue/gray paint. Oh, and then paint. Fun.

Then all day I tried to orde DSL from Verizon. (And yes I did come across that exact page many, many times. Get your damn site fixed!) Did I mention the part about ALL DAY? Evidently Verizon has gotten their shit less together since their merger with MCI (proof that there is no god). I may have to kill someone.


Thank god for Erin or I wouldn't have had a single laugh all day. She's funnier than shit today.
