After a night of hardly any sleep ("the very hungry baby" was at it again), it's nice to wake up to good things.

• Like..Calix's basketball hoop finally shipped via Amazon

• Those shoes I ordered also shipped (so close to being on my feet!)

I'm also getting rid of the majority of our cable and just keeping the basic and classic stuff (hey, as long as there's TLC, Bravo, and Oxygen..I'm fine) and also keep HBO because I swear to you..one of these days Big Love season 2 will start. I just *know* it! But everything else..we just don't use and I'm so tired of opening insane cable bills every freaking month.

Instead, I signed up with Netflix..something I should have done a very long time ago..just assumed it was pricey and never really looked into it. Ah, until last night. $17.99 a month for 3 movies at a time no limit to how many movies I get a month? Ding ding ding! We have a winner! So, I started filling up my queue. Oh, the movies that will be coming my way!

So..that's smart of me. Also.. I need to call the cable company (well then..I guess I'll do this when I get rid of cable packages) and get internet through them..then call ugly Bellsouth and cancel internet and phone with them because I'm also soooooo sick of getting ridiculous bills from them every month..especially seeings as I *barely* use the home phone. Mostly telemarketers and bill collectors use that line..and an occassional family member will call it. I think I'll just stick to using the cellphone as a means of getting a hold of me.

Remind me to

• Schedule Maddox's 2 month check up
• Schedule my 6-8 week check up
• give Calix a big hug
