five year old lingo

Dylan, last night, to Andrew while they were playing Tony Hawk on the Playstation: "Hey Daddy, check out the new hotness!". Never heard that one before. I can't wait to hear all the phrases he'll pick up at kindergarten this fall.

I am STILL waiting on Verizon to straighten out the fiasco they've created for us. And I'm so close to telling them to forget it, but now its become a game for me and I can't wait to see what kind of discounted offer they come back with. My issue has been passed along to no fewer than 12 people there, and really, the whole thing is just insane. You'd have to be on drugs to work for that company. Especially after I found this last night, and read some of the hundreds of complaints about the FiOS customer service people. Its like a black hole of incompetence. Who would want to be associated by working for them? Ass clowns.

In other news, my Dad and Stepmom have invited us to spend Thanksgiving week with them in Florida. So we'll be taking Dylan out of school, and putting Logan on his first plane ride. My Dad is busy putting together plans to build a sliding board into their pool. If I know my Dad, it will be engineered with perfect craftmanship and then the kids are never going to want to come back home. We also plan on boating to Captiva Island while we are there, which is only accesible by boat. We've done this one other time when Dylan was 3, and found the most amazing seashells I've ever seen in 'the wild'. We were also escorted by dolphins boatside the entire trip. It will be a rough life, having turkey poolside, but someone has to do it.

Our other vacation is quickly approaching in a little over a week, and I'm in the list making stage of what to take to the lake house for a week. Since there are absolutely no stores in the lake area, we have to bring all food and beverages for the week. This involves a lot of pre-shopping and planning, but the good news is once you are there, you can settle in with your mojito and flatline for days. We've never taken laptops before and I don't plan on it this time. We'll be spending the week with my Mom and stepdad, my brother, sister in law, and my neice and nephew, my stepsisters and their kids. It should be a hoot!
