I *heart* My New Toy....

Introducing my new favorite toy......well not "new" to the whole world...but new to me....

When it comes to cool things I am a bit behind in getting them.....but when I do, I go FULL FORCE....

This gem holds 700 of my favorite songs, all of my photos (eek!) ((why do I keep saying "eek"??)) and it hold videos and when I finally jump on the high speed internet bandwagon, this treasure will hold tv shows......but will it clean my toilets?

Trust me, when they invent something that will clean toilets all by itself, I will be first in that line...

Recap....

Ok, I know its been forever since my last post and most of you are wondering how the Howard Hewett concert was.....

Let me just say...

OH

MY

GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, the concert started at 8 and doors open at 7:30....my cousin Chris (love him) said it was up to me on what time to leave.....So we left at 5:00.....at this point it wasn't real. We get to the place at 5:30 before 1/2 the employees do and we are laughing so hard cuz we are all dressed to kill and this place looks like the local Moose Lodge...(maybe not that bad, but still) So we talk to the manager of the establishment and let him know that we traveled many many miles to see this concert and want to get a good seat....He assures us not to worry. So the 6 of us park our behinds at the bar and get ready for 3 hours of drinking...(Billy wasn't drinking that much since he over did it the night before....okay Mom!)

So while we are waiting we chat up the promoter of the show and the manager of the bar and they are amazed at the miles we traveled and assured us we will get a good seat, but they aren't letting anyone in until 7:30. As it approaches, its finally hitting me....I. am. going. to. see. Howard!!!!!

All of a sudden we are looking for Denise and can't find her....Scott points and sees that Denise has found a way to get in the venue and is chatting up the promoter all the while sitting pretty in the first row!!!! I LOVE HER!!! I am so excited but do not want to go in just in case they get mad and kick us all out....so I patiently sit at the bar waiting.....

About 7:15 I get a text from Denise saying that Howard will be in to do a sound check then will leave to get ready and then return for the show.... I cannot even SPEAK!!!!

Fast forward to 7:30ish and by now Billy has joined Denise comes, to the window and has a smile from ear to ear as he points to.......you guessed it....HOWARD HEWETT!!!! Tears flow from my eyes, I say "Fuck it, I am going in" We find the door (the remaining 4) and sit and watch this man do a sound check! It was our private concert and I was speechless.....TEARS ARE STREAMING DOWN MY FACE as I hold my brother's hand...I can't believe I am finally here.....

After the sound check my cousin Blanca (Love her!) goes up to him and tells him I am his greatest fan and Scott is pushing me up to go meet him.....I. touched. him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My brother gets the camera....tries to figure it out....all the while I am posing my ASS OFF!!!! I am actually grateful that he cant figure it out cuz I AM HUGGING HOWARD HEWETT!!!!..The flash goes off and I thank him, grab my camera to see the picture and I get this.....

and.....what....else....I think that about covers it.....

I will post again before I leave and when I get back, hopefully I will have pictures of Howard and will not be in jail...

:)

Now that Dish Network has finally

deposited my 800 dollars....this blog can go back to its regular scheduled programming...

I have been meaning to share this picture for some time now, both Scott and I are equally proud of it...me, cuz I was close enough to take this picture and he, cuz he was close enough to actually see one and feed it....

This will be blown up to poster size so that it can go in his gee rahgg.....(garage)

2 words....

dish network.

two more words.....

rat bastards.

I have had the worst week EVER!!!! Its been 4 days and I still not have received the $800 that was promised to me 2 days ago.

The gentlemen working on this tells me over and over that he is sorry and that I will have it soon....First of all, I believe nothing that he says and am to the point where I am beginning to think perhaps I should seek legal counsel.

On top of all this, this is all happening during my birthday week...

Happy Fucking Birthday to me.

dish network has done it again!!!!!!!!!

The rat bastards at Dish Network have taken it upon themselves and felt they had the right to withdraw $800 from my CHECKING ACCOUNT. They said that I did not return equipment that had been exchanged over a month ago....but I did. They realize now that I did return the equipment and have said they will debit my account for the $800, but it will take 4-6 business days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So thanks to my cousin, this is the letter I am sending to Dish Network as my testimonial to them....

I live in Albuquerque, New Mexico and I got DISH Network. I could only get 4 clear channels and one of those was iffy some days! Man, when I found out I could get screwed up the ass by Dish I jumped on the band wagon, I got crappy service from the Havives on the 800 line and the local dish network customer care would just put the phone down and have a smoking break while I called about them taking $800 out of my account, so when I thought I was talking to them I was just talking to the air. I was ecstatic about it! I would recommend Dish to all my family and friends if they too would like to get screwed up the ass. Just be sure you have all your personal information such as Social Security numbers and 401k plan accounts and Savings, Checking, Combination number for your safe all credit card numbers with expiration dates, and your kids piggy banks accessible, because they will need that information for when they need extra cash to have an all out company picnic or Holiday party at Dish Network in India. I hope they have a good time at the celebration with my money.

THANKS DISH!
