Hubby is under the impression that minutes get used even if you have it on, not just when you're getting or receiving a call.

Connie -- What Cashmere said, but: you only use minutes if you're making a call, not if someone else calls you. Or if you send or read a text (I think it's a 1/2 minute per text). The minutes do expire, but when you add more the old ones are extended as well -- basically, when you add time you are adding minutes and extending the expiration date for all your minutes.

This blog is a good resource: [link] He reviews the phones, and lists coupons & special offers.

Bleah. I wonder if I can bake something with it, so I don't end up pouring it down the drain?

Would probably be delightful in pancakes or french toast...

OSH also has plastic storage bins on sale 15% off.

Happy birthday Jesse, Theo and Rayne!

Strongly considering going to this today [link]

Still hanging on with the diet despite holiday temptation all around. We'll see how long that lasts...

Oh Jesus. My mom bought Noah a remote control truck. It's fun to play with and a little bit persnickety -- you need greater control than my son can exhibit. I could go outside and yell at him not to crash it into things, which I should. Or I should let him run it around until he breaks it (which is what I'm doing). I'm a bad mom because I don't care if it breaks, and I'm sort of looking forward to it.

The greatest cartoon thing looks fun. But alas, not with my kids.

Holy shiznit, leftover prime rib makes the best steak and eggs ever.

My mouth is so happy.

Xmas movie day was a big success. After breakfast at our favorite diner with 10 of us, we saw Tron, True Grit, Black Swan and ended with Love & Other Drugs then a late dinner at Jerry's Deli. A very convivial day and True Grit was WONDERFUL.

The depth of my hate for Black Swan and the passion with which I expounded on it was amusing to all.

Now I am at work, which is less fun, I have to say.

Calli, I'm in the same situation as you. Flight finally got cancelled, I'm not flying back until Tuesday afternoon now.

Yikes. I am once again happy not to be travelling for holidays! I found The Sing-Off On Demand, so have been watching that. I think I'll still run by Lord & Taylor and the grocery store.

I'm hoping for a snow day tomorrow!!

Happy Day to the Birthday Buffistas!

All the highly anticipated snow in DC? Zippo.

Now to rise from the computer and make the chicken chili I've been planning for days.

AND, another loaf the the most awesome Gluten-free Banana Bread. I've been making it over the last week or so. This will be my 5th edition. I never liked banana bread, per se, but used up some old bananas with rice flour, pecans and candied ginger. Oh my, NOM it is tasty.
