Dinner with Family

Tonight David and I went over the Jenny and Jason's house for dinner and had such a great time ... Ellie was awake for awhile so we got to play with her and hang out while she took a bath ... and boy does she love her bath ... she is such a different baby in a short amount of time ... I didn't realize how much a baby changes from 3 months to 5 months ...


Then Jason, Jenny, David and I had salads and pizza and hung out and talked ... it really was so much fun ... I am so glad we live close to my brother and his family ... we always have such a good time hanging out with them ...

Bummer Yankees

As my last post was publishing the Red Sox got a two run hit and won the 4th game ... so tomorrow there will be another game ... so finally the Yankees can kick their ass ...

Let's Go Yankees

We of course have been die hard Yankees fans ... they are in the playoffs with the Boston Red Sox ... the Yankees have won 3 games and are headed for the World Series and right now ... at after 1 in the morning it is the bottom of the 12th inning and tied at 4 to 4 ...


The Red Sox fans are cheering like they will go into the World Series if they win tonight ... I realize they are just trying to hang on for another chance at a 5th game ... but come on ... they have lost the first 3 games ... lets get to the real champs and have the Yankees advance to the World Series ... :)

Lexus fun

Today Jason, Jenny, Eliana, Mark, Sonni, David & I spent the day at the Lexus test drive event at FedEx Field ... and we had a great time ... they had 3 different drive tracks set up and you could test drive the Lexus and compareable cars in their class ...


We drove a Range Rover on the off road course and it was awesome ... through gravel pits and a huge dirt mountain ... the asscent was a bit hairy but david did an awesome job ... the car was simply beautiful ... it must be wonderful having a car like that ...


Then we went to the race course and we drove a Mercedes S430 and a BMW 745i ... he took the curves with speed and it was amazing ... David loved the BMW the best ... he would have driven the course over and over if he could ...


We all then went into the tent and had lunch and hung out and talked ... it was awesome ... Ellie was a doll and laughed while I made faces at her ...


It was truly a fabulous day ...

Christopher Reeve

I was quite sad to hear that Christopher Reeve passed away yesterday ... he had a spirit to triumph over anything and that will surly be missed ...

Poor Kramer

Last night Kramer came into the office when we got home and let out a weird moan ... then went under David's desk and laid on his back moaning ... his eyes rolling back in his head and he kept lifting his leg up ... he obviously didn't feel good ...


we took him to the emergency hospital and it turns out his bladder was swollen the size of an orange and he couldn't pee ... poor thing ... he had to stay in the hospital overnight ...


we went early this morning and picked him up and took him to his regular vet ... they are going to be watching him throughout the day to make sure he is ok ...


It sure is lonely around here without him ... I think David and I both miss him ... last night David started to look for him before going to bed and was sad all over again ... hopefully he will be coming home tonight ... :)

Feedback on eBay

I have been using eBay for 5 years now ... and I've come to a decision ... conclusion ... whatever you want to call it ... I think that a seller should leave feedback as soon as you pay for your transaction ... because that is what they are evaluating ... how easy the payment transaction went ... how quickly you paid ... and how good your communication was ...


like me ... I pay within 2 minutes of the auction ending ... I am always watching/bidding at the end ... as soon as it says I am the winner I pay ... they should leave feedback on that right then ...


Once I get the product I leave feedback on that ... but all the sellers out there wait to leave feedback until after you rate them ... doesn't seem right ... I could pay in full within 2 minutes and get a terrible product in the mail ... if I leave negative feedback then they will retaliate and do the same even though my part of the transaction was perfect ...


it has happened once to me ages ago ... someone sent me a broken camera ... when I told him it arrived broken he told me I could send it back and he would send me a replacement ... when he got it he said I was the one that destroyed it and then left me negative feedback ... even though he had all my money and I paid right away ... and now he had the broken camera too ...


I think I am going to try and start something so that a seller has to leave feedback as soon as the buyer pays ... maybe I can get something to happen ...
