Lot’s to divulge this weekend. 

First, Amber spent a good two hours on Saturday talking to Verizon about her $130.13 cell phone bill this month.  Yeah.  Erik and Travis helped her decipher the situation.  I didn’t tune into the details, but she finally worked it out with Customer Service.

 Then, we went through the arduous task of throwing away our “Nightmare Before Christmas” tree.

It was really, really dead.  We ended up throwing out our third floor window under the cover of night so the neighbors wouldn’t be too alarmed.  Amber had the task of waiting at the bottom and dragging it to its dumpster destination.  Neighbor Shawn saw her, and asked what was going on.  Ha.

Finally, it was important to Mom that we all attend the Mayor’s inauguration.  Travis was  MIA, so Amber and I laid out a suit for him.  He never saw our note, missed the event,  and was not amused by our efforts.
