Bye Bye Land Line!

I did it! I got rid of my land line. This all stemmed from our Verizon service going doing for a little more than an entire week! I figure, if I can go a week without service, I can keep on going. If I live to be about 80, this should save me a little more than $26,000; not figuring for inflation. I'm liking that!
Pros:
  1. No more bill to pay each month
  2. No more annoying phone calls to answer, privacy is heavenly
  3. I sold my phone on eBay for $80
  4. No more answering machine to check
Cons:
  1. I might need to give out my cell phone number when signing up for a credit card which means I might start getting unsolicited calls. We'll see. I might just give out my husband's work number if a phone number is required. I don't want calls coming through to my cell phone since I only get so many minutes on my plan.

Dryer Lint Art of the Century!

Something fabulous happened yesterday! The most glorious dryer lint in all of my 36 years has finally come to be! I believe this should be framed. This Neapolitan dream seems to have been created by a load of darks, followed by whites, then colors, then darks again. Yes. That was the process used. Conception began before Christmas because I remember washing a pair of sparkly Justice slippers that I got at the thrift store. The actual birth occurred on 1/5/2015.
