You may or may not have noticed that I love cats - always have. And now I am psychotically watching William’s kitty cam and waiting for the shot of them snuggling with William’s b5media cap (which now is unrecognizable). This is the closest I have come - little Keena is in the front, and Elijah is in the back:
Do I win a prize if I get the snuggliest shot? 
Thanks, William, for giving me something to do besides all the wrapping and cooking I need to be doing. Aargh.
Much ado has been made about this sketch - but I think this one is at least as funny - and a whole lot more safe for the kiddies than the first one. Not that the kiddies care. 
These are making me love Justin Timberlake again - hes a hoot.
Yay, my beloved bro has arrived for Christmas, perhaps he can help teach my children how to get along. Fat chance of that.
Yay, thanks to Mark for ripping it off Jeremy’s head finally and getting it out to me. Jeremy - get your own. Hahahahahaha w00t! Now all I need is my Team Perez shirt, and I am set up!
There is so much more to the story after my initial Dell bitch session, but the wind is still out of my sails. Suffice it to say that after blogging about my troubles here, and leaving a comment on the Dell blog (which is what I think did the trick), I finally made it to the escalation team who, on or about November 8th, ordered me a brand spanking new computer to replace our lemon laptop’s broken replacement that I had sitting here.
Well, it is December 16th, and yesterday, finally, our replacement computer arrived. It should have been here within 15 business days, but naturally, that didn’t happen. Icing on the cake: Three days before the computer arrived, I got a nasty note from Dell saying that I needed to return laptop number two immediately in the box that our new computer came in - that it has been too long since I had received the replacement, and they were getting ready to bill me for it. Normally, I would have been soooooooo pissed off and called them up and given them as much hell as I could muster, but I just don’t have any more fight in me for Dell. I couldn’t care less.
To make things just a little sweeter - we have to repurchase MS Office - as we have used our office disk too many times on that old piece of junk that didnt work. I don’t even want to tally up the costs that we have had in this deal, I am quite sure we could have had a new laptop with it all. Hubby said last night - “Well, I guess we weren’t going to get out of this without getting fucked in some way.” I guess he is right. At least the money is going to Microsoft instead of Dell. Dell has gotten their last dime from me, if I can help it.
On a shockingly surprising note, the new laptop appears to be working just fine, but since this saga started at the first of October, it has taken 2 1/2 months to get resolved, and we do have the service package that is supposed to get us through with almost no downtime - on site same day service - all of that. I think we spent nearly $400 on that. What would we have done if that was our only laptop? Well, I think we would have plunked the money down for another computer, and maybe we would have just forgotten about Dell - looking back, I wish we had done that - and we will be doing it the next time. I assure you we will not be going through this hellish process again.
To Dell: Trust me, I can’t WAIT to get this piece of junk broken Dell laptop out of my house. Now that I actually have the new laptop, the old one is sitting at my doorway packed up and ready for DHL to pick up on Monday. Go suck an egg. But thanks to the escalation team for finally putting an end to this hell.

You know when you are running around the house, still in your jammies, much too late - and the doorbell rings - and there stands just the person you don’t want to know that you are still in your undies after noon…
Well, thats me. I officially started my “real job” as Project Manager for my beloved blogging network global new media network, b5media, last week - and they decided yesterday that they wanted to add our personal blogs to the Team channel, so here I am. 
Welcome, and try not to be too bored here. I am putting my clothes and makeup on as we speak.
They found James Kim’s (editor for CNET.com) body this afternoon in the Oregon mountains. [source] I was so hopeful that he was going to be ok. Thank God his family was. Please be careful out there - don’t take the risk and travel through treacherous territory to get to your family for the holidays. They will be there after the spring thaw.
Prayers go out to the Kim family, my heart breaks for you.
