We were at some friend's house tonight and Andrew was up WAY past his bedtime. He's been standing now for a while. Well, Andy (Dressler) was holding his keys out in front of him and Andrew took a tiny little step before sitting and deciding crawling would be much more effective. Watch out world! Here he comes!!

Today was a nice day. We got out and about early this morning and ran some errands. I had to get my tags renewed for both cars ($180 for two little stickers is a rip off!). And Andrew got to play a little in the play area at the mall since the Secretary of State is in the mall.

We also hit a camera store hoping that someone out there would be able to fix my digital camera since I am going CRAZY without it. Well, get this... We decided on a whim to stop in to Best Buy and have them check it out since all other places failed us. We had purchased it there, but since no where else could help us we didn't figure much would happen with Best Buy either, but thought "what could it hurt to try". Well, anyway, we had completely forgotten that we had purchased the service warranty from them when we bought the camera. So FOR FREE they are going to send it away for us to have it fixed. Now, according the Best Buy (and every other camera store I talked to)...just to send it away costs about $170 let alone fixing it. So that service plan REALLY REALLY paid off assuming all goes as planned. And we should have it back around the 1st of the year. Bummer we don't have it for Christmas, but we will survive. I am really excited that my camera is getting fixed!! Yea!

So then we go to leave Best Buy (of course not without stopping to let Marc drool over the huge flat screen plasma TV's first) and it's totally gross outside. It went from just being darn cold out, to practically blizzard conditions just while we were inside the store. It was really icky. Fortunately, by tonight it wasn't too bad when we headed out.

We are having company over for dinner tomorrow evening, so I need to get some food out of the freezer to start thawing. (I'm really into freezer cooking). Then I need to head to bed. 'Night.
