I am off from work today. My mother in law is still in the rehabilitation hospital so I could sleep in a bit (until 7 since the cable man was coming) and it was just lovely sleeping last night and cool this morning so lying in bed seemed like a great idea. Well we have not had home phone service in over a month so I did need to get up and around for that. The guy was here pretty early, seemed like the job was done and Tommy and I took off for Newport to explore a knife shop (I needed a sharpener for work), and the bakery supply place so I could get some sprinkles for my Halloween party treats I am making (they didn't have what I wanted). After that we went to Newport on the Levee to browse the big Bares and Noble there and get some lunch. We spent quite a bit of time in B&N and decided we didn't want lunch there since the places we liked were either way too expensive of had gone out of business. (Boy that place is suffering!) We decided to hit Buffalo Wild Wings for lunch and it went down hill from there. We got there just about 2:00 and the place was pretty empty but apparently only had one server working and he wasn't really pushing himself. We placed out order and waited 45 minutes for our food! With all those spicy wings (YUM) it didn't take long until we were out of drinks. Just as we were remarking on the lack of service the waiter brought drinks to the table and took off. Imagine my surprise to find that my Sprite was now water. Do you think he came back so I could get the mistake corrected? We waited and waited for him to come back and by the time he did, we just needed our bill a go box because Tommy was going to be late for work.

I came home and discovered that my phones are NOT fixed you can't call in or out and to top it off I had a $400 cable bill waiting for me. Since I can't get any help with this I am about to tell them to shove it.

I have now spent 3 weeks waiting for a referral from my doctor's office and I called them again today and they were supposed to call me back but have not. I am about out of patience with a lot of things here.

OK, the guys are home and I am going to throw some burgers in the pan... Later!
