More shiny things in the sunlight :D And the bubbles, cant forget the bubbles *happy* It really is amazing how much the eye can see, and absorb, all the shades that come together to create this wonderful illusion of space and shape... love it.

*RANT ALERT*

And it is a rant that will probably be repeated until I am no longer mad at these people, so.... sorry. Really, I am. Skip it if you have seen this before.

Clearwire is evil.

The service sucks, totally incapable of uploading images entirely too much of the time. Then the whole internet will just quit working for no reason. And if you complain they tell you to move the receiver around- away from the computer, away from or towards a window, dont use your cell phone near it, all kinds of stupid excuses for your internet not working. Oh, and they wont bill you, they insist on billing to a credit card.

And THEN your contract is up, and you tell them you want to cancel, and they cut your internet off, and youre happy. Yay, now we have real internet! (roadrunner, actually. love it)

But AFTER they turn your internet OFF and say they sent you the stuff to return your receiver and equipment, they KEEP CHARGING YOU FOR CONTINUED SERVICE. Charming. And you call them and ask why and they tell you that theyll only refund you the money- for the service you didnt receive- if you set up one of your friends with them and let the friends continue your contract. Your contract that doesnt exist anymore because it FINALLY ran out.

So, short version- clearwire is being wonderfully incompetant, and theyre stealing $40+ a month from me until I can figure out how to make it stop. So, yeah, thats a wonderful source of holiday cheer.

*RANT NOW OVER*

my apologies. Thanks for letting me vent :)

  1. Merry Christmas, Kellie!
    I LOVE the egg paintings and the "glow" on the plates. And the glow inside the shell--really nice!
    and you know I love your teacups! They "feel" like fine china!

    P.S. If your $40 monthly payments are automatic, you can stop payment from the source--contact your bank or credit card company (instead of the internet company) Good luck.
