A few hours to go

and I really, really want a nap. Stopped doing coffee before noon and have only been doing Tazo Wild Sweet Orange tea since. Been puttering around the house between surfing blogs, got the laundry folded and put away, our overnight bag is packed: pillows, sleep clothes, books to while away the evening, clean undies for tomorrow morning and a bandana to put on in the morning until I can get home to wash the gook they use to attatch the electrodes out of my hair.

Ran the vacuum around the living room and down the hall, still have a few dishes to do, the bed is made and I'll be coming home to a clean house in the morning. Just have to make sure the kitties don't get out when we leave, it has been getting pretty cold at night.

Hubby's replacement cell phone arrived today. He'd dropped his in a glass of orange juice and juice and cells are a definate no mix. We are very impressed with TracPhone. He'd called them to see if they had any hints of how to fix it, they kept telling him to send it and then they would send a replacement. He'd kept telling him it was his fault it got dropped in the orange juice and they said they would replace it. They did and we now recommend them even more then before. Tracphone is a prepaid service, you buy a new card every couple of months and your unused minutes roll over.

Speaking of recommendations, we now are only going to ship things DHL, the new shipping company (the guys with the yellow trucks). Tracphone shipped the replacement out on DHL on the 23rd. Thanks to the weather and airline screw ups, the package got held up in the mid-west. Hubby got the tracking number from Tracphone and checked DHL's website and right on the front page was a big note apologizing for the delay's in shipping. Hubby got on the line to see how things were going and the rep was cheerful and very imformative of what was happening! We've NEVER had this kind of service from FedEx or UPS. The package arrived in Spokane in the wee hours of this morning, it was put on the truck and out by 8:30am and we had it in our hands by NOON!!!!!!!! We always have to wait until 4-5pm on most days to get a package from the other services and the driver actually came to the door for a signature (it was signature required, but our experience with the other services is that they'd throw the package on the porch and take off, even when a signature was required). So seriously lots of thumbs up for the folk at DHL.
