Hey, Get A Dictionary

Just for fun, I am going to replace the "No Soliciting" sign that prominently graces the main entrance to our development to one using small words everyone can understand. Because based on the number of individuals who regularly knock on my door wanting to sell me their cleaning services, or a product which promises to deep-clean my front porch, or some spray to keep my grass green - it is evident that many people do not know what the word soliciting means. And you know, how *not* to do it.

I have grown weary of explaining it to them after they have knocked on my door or rung the door bell, unleashing the hounds of hell and waking my daughter from the only 2 hours of peace I get all day. 

Note to future solicitors - because I know you will still come: when all the above occurs and I gracelessly and impatiently inform you that yes, you ARE soliciting if you contact me without being invited to my home...DO NOT ARGUE WITH ME.

That would be very, very dumb.

Untitled Due To Lack Of Brain Power and/or Creativity

Two things come to mind on this damp, chilly Monday.

1. If I don't get some real rest soon, the wheels are gonna fall off in a spectacular fashion.

2. Keisha Martin - whoever you are - your credit must suck. *

* We recently got home phone service and have been inundated with calls for this woman. And by 'inundated' I mean upwards of 20 calls a day. Sometimes when I am bored, I answer the calls, just for fun. Most times I don't and simply keep the ringer off.

Before Ella, Chris and I were both happy only using our cell phones. Then after we brought her home and began hiring babysitters, I started thinking about PSAPs and E911 and told Chris we needed a home phone. You know, because that 5 minutes you spend ON HOLD when you dial 911 from a cell phone could make a Very Big Difference someday. 

Welcome, Have a Seat Anywhere

For reasons too numerous to share, I needed to make the old blog private. It's still there, waiting for Ella to get old enough to read it but I'm not gonna make it public again in the immediate future.

So here we are in the new digs...what do you think?
