Christmas surprises coming up!
I can’t wait til Christmas morning! My sister is going to be soooooo surprised!
Before Thanksgiving, I told everyone to create a “Wish List” on Amazon.com. I went through the lists and pretty much bought anything that wasn’t ridiculously expensive (for instance, I didn’t buy Roger the custom Les Paul for $1800 and I didn’t buy his son his $800 amp or his other son his $500 car part – don’t even remember what it was.) Anyway, Roger’s sons are hard to “surprise” because they have such a narrow focus of likes. Ben only wears black jeans and black tee shirts and hoodies. Dan only wears stuff with the “Element” logo. So we can’t buy them clothes. So they pretty much are getting what they asked for.
My sister Debbie (who is living with us), on the other hand, is FUN to shop for. She loves everything! And of course she has an older sister with GREAT TASTE lol. So Deb put on her list that she wanted Trans-Siberian Orchestra tickets. I told her that without knowing her boyfriend’s schedule for that night, it would be impossible to get her the tickets. But I bought them anyway, for the matinee show on the 29th so even if her boyfriend has a gig that night, he can still go to the show
Roger and I are going, too.She is also using the same wireless company we are for her telephone. They were having a buy one get one free sale and since she is on a month to month plan right now, we were going to switch her over to our plan (on the family plan) and get her a new phone (with her knowledge.) So we called and found out that Roger’s family plan was maxed out. Although he could have up to 10 lines with his company discount, he could only have 5 on his family plan, and we already had 5. So we told Deb we couldn’t do it. But while in the store, we talked about his mom (actually Jan’s mom, so not really even his ex-mother-in-law because Jan isn’t really his ex. What do you call the mom of a deceased spouse after you remarry?) and taking her off the family plan but keeping her as one of our ten lines because she uses a flip phone and doesn’t need all the fancy stuff that we all have with our smart phones. So now we have added my sister to our plan (with a new phone number, that, before we found out about the five-member limit, she was okay with.) and a new Galaxy III smart phone. So Christmas morning, Roger is going to be playing with his phone like he’s playing his bubble burst game. When I give Deb the package with the phone in it, he’s going to call her number
I also got a Galaxy III phone. So far I like it. I hope it takes better pictures than my Galaxy S phone did!
