hooray for Primus

I got the whole Rogers thing sorted out, so that's good. It took 45 minutes on the phone, largely on hold, and 3 people to sort it for me, but the 3rd guy actually knew what he was talking about (odd, I know), and explained what had happened in about 15 seconds. Nice of him. His name is Jeff. Thanks Jeff. I still hate Rogers, but it's nice to know you're not all a bunch of useless tits. I've also switched my long distance and internet over to Primus. It's still dial-up, but comes with an accelerator, which actually works. Hooray again!

I've retouched the gift blog. There are actually some things on there that I hope to get, as well as my dear, sweet laptop. I'm not taking it off the list. Feel free to post your lists, it's fun.

In other, unrelated news, I went to check out my old preggo blog, to find that it has been taken over by somebody else. Jenn was right when she said I should save it somewhere else to make sure that it was safe in case Blogger exploded or something, and I think in fact it was doing just that which allowed this other woman to take over the site. I republished the whole thing on another server, and never changed the publish-to address back to blogspot. Ah well. I had a mini heart attack in the 2 seconds before I rememebered that though.

Hmm. 23 days until Christmas, I should get this site all festive looking again. I was going to count the shopping days, but it's the same number here since we have Sunday shopping. Just you po' folks in NS don't, I think. I have lots of plans for my time, but all I generally end up doing is surfing around and playing minesweeper. I have a gift I'm supposed to be making though, so I really do need to get on that.

On that note, the shower and my project are beckoning. I cleaned the tub this morning, with new Lysol cleaner (new to me) and it has the most disgusting smell ever. "Summer Breeze" or some such foolishness. It smells like...I don't know. Something really gross. I'll either have to get new stuff, or the fiancé will have to do the cleaning. Somehow, I'm thinking option A is going to be the viable one.
