How many blown saves will it take to end the Bobby Jenks experiment?

Anyone notice the spectacular timing there? We cancel DirecTV and THE NEXT DAY, Buehrle pitches a perfect game. I would have been at work anyway, but Matthew was home toward the end and could have seen at least part of the game. D'oh.

I'm going to attempt calling DirecTV to cancel soon. I've heard they don't make it easy to cancel, so we'll see what happens. I'm a little sad about canceling, but we just can't justify the expense anymore. Between over-the-air HD and streaming Hulu/Netflix instant watch, not to mention our Blu-ray/DVD collection, I suppose we should stay sufficiently entertained. :) The big sacrifice is White Sox games on Comcast Sports Net, but I don't really feel like watching Bobby Jenks blow any more saves anyway.

EDIT: Success. They tried to sell me on a cheaper package, but I held my ground. We have DirecTV until midnight tonight, and then it's gone.

The car.

Our PS3 is dead. :( Other than Singstar, I don't play many games on it, but I do love it for watching Blu-rays and streaming Hulu/Netflix. The fix will be expensive, although cheaper than buying a new one. Why does this happen now when we're feeling so poor from car buying??

I woke up around 5 this morning and COULD NOT fall back to sleep. This after not really sleeping all that soundly from 11:30 to 5. I tried just staying in bed, and then I tried reading on the couch, snuggling with Smokey. I gave up around 6:45 and just got ready and went to work. I usually get up at 7:30, so I was a tad early for work. And now I feel like I could fall asleep sitting at my desk. Argh.

Well, we are now soon-to-be car owners. As in, we signed paperwork and put down a deposit, but we have to get the big check from our credit union, and the dealership needs to get the car--a 2009 Honda Fit. They only had Sport models in stock, but hopefully by Wednesday they will have ours.

I'm back! :)
