So we just added phone and internet to bundle with our Comcast cable. My roommate just called to check on our bill, and it was totally messed up and showing almost $400. What the @#$#?
She's calling tomorrow to tell them to change it to what we were quoted, or shut the whole thing off. She called them tonight and actually said, "Did I just get ripped off?" to which the customer service rep didn't say anything. Boo!!!!

These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things
I love desserts. One of my favorites is at a restuarant in Chicago called Lou Malnetti's...it's a chocolate chip cookie 'pizza' in a tiny deep dish pan, fresh baked when you order it, with vanilla ice cream and hot fudge. Oh My Goodness!
I made my own version this evening. I microwaved a chocolate chip cookie and added ice cream. Yum!

Stretch.....Yawn....
No, I have not been in hibernation. Just terribly remiss at blogging for awhile.
I had a great ten days in Missouri with the family. My sister and I were pretty much attached at the hip, and spent a lot of time in The Century Press, a new coffee shop run by Anne and JD.
I highly recommend it. It's super cute on the inside (they did a lot of work on it!) There is also a book share/exchange inside. They make great lattes and the cheesecakes are to DIE for! They open ridiculously early (like 6 am) and stay open until 8 pm. My sister and I kept taking board games in and would hang out awhile.
Go check it out! It's where Mary's Cafe used to be.

The Guv-uh-nuh
Color me surprised to learn that the Governor lives not far from me. Literally about a mile from my house. By the way - it's totally like a Hinsdale neighborhood in the middle of the northwest side of Chicago. Kind of wierd. Huge houses that take up entire blocks.
After taking our student workers out for dinner, we proceeded to have a very fun-filled adventure driving by. Here's a little video clip for your enjoyment. Some notes to add to the enjoyment factor:
1) those white vans along the right side of the road are all the media vans
2) the lights reflecting on the windows of Rod's house are a result of approximately twenty flood lights and camera crews setup directly across the street on the sidewalk. I laughed until I cried when I saw it.
3) There were Black SUVs (federal agents in suits, ties and trench coats) parked directly in front of his house on both cross streets. That's who was staring us down, twice.
4) There were state patrol cars parked in the alley entrances on both sides of his house to keep folks from coming down.
It really was funny. I laughed until I had tears and couldn't breathe. It ranked right up there with bad Christmas light decoration night with Toni and Candy!
