We Have More Minutes
Posted on April 26, 2006 by Ching under Babies, Life.
As the saying goes, “If there’s a will, there’s a way.” Last week Brian and I were stressing about cellphone overage charges and how we were going to make it through to the end of our bill cycle without having a $200 phone bill. We were conserving our cellphone usage so bad you’d think we were rationing water while travelling through the Sahara.
It got so bad that we started acting like those people in those silly cellphone commercials. Brian would call me and I’d be like, “Why are you calling me? You’re not calling me from your work phone are you?” We have free mobile-to-mobile but if he calls me from his work phone or I call his work phone then it counts against us.
See, I thought those commercials were silly before because we’d never been in any danger of overage charges. Now that we have, I completely understand how the people the commercials feel. We literally could not use our phone because every single non-weekend, non-mobile-to-mobile minute was costing us. To top it off I had duty at work on Monday. I didn’t have any calls, though. Thank the Lord!

Proof That Jen Eats
Posted on April 23, 2006 by Ching under Food and Drink, Life, Poker.

Contrary to popular belief that Jen never eats, she actually does. This photo is proof of it. How she manages not to gain weight is the million dollar question.
Anyway, Brian and I decided to take Jen and Ray up on their brunch invitation despite our current broke financial state. You all know I can’t turn down Legends. Incidentally, Legends has all you can eat fajitas every Thursday so that would be a good day for you all to check them out. Sundays are great too because that’s when they have champagne brunch. Brunch isn’t brunch without mimosas!
But I digress. If we were broke before brunch, we are even more so now. To top it off, Brian wanted PF Chang’s for dinner. On the plus side, I get to eat PF Chang’s leftovers tomorrow. And Brian gets paid on Wednesday.
So even though we’re not in great shape financially at this particular moment. We are not completely destitute. Although, we missed our regular Sunday night poker home game.
Chinaman kind of threw us of our schedule last week. Then we are broke this week. That, and I needed to do some school work anyway. So it was all for the best. As soon as school lets out we should be playing poker regularly again.

Cellphone Woes
Posted on April 22, 2006 by Ching under Life.
I just dialed #646# and here’s the prognosis: we are three minutes away from maxing out on our minutes for this billing cycle and our cycle closing date is not until May 9th. Argggh!! We’ve never had this problem before.
I guess calls to the breeder, the vet, Brian’s work, along with calls to and from my work have really taken their toll this month. Hopefully, next month our calling habits will be back to normal. I can’t afford to pay overage charges.
Anyway, reminder to everyone: do not call us until after May 9th. If you need to reach us, send us a text message or call us on weekends. Unless you’re with T-Mobile. Then you may call us anytime.
