Busy week/weekend
Got my new Holux M-1000 Bluetooth GPS to use with the BlackBerry (rather than paying Alltel $10/mo to use the built-in one, a straight $45 one-time fee). Seems to work great with software from Blackstar Navigation (http://www.blackstarnavigation.com/), GPSed.com (http://www.gpsed.com), and Google Maps. Did a little bit of geocaching, and it’s far more accurate than my old Garmin eTrex.
Did some cleanup on the baby’s room. It seems to be coming together. Now I just need to get on to the rest of the house! Finally got a few pictures uploaded.
My bank sucks. I’m guessing they’re doing maintenance or batch processing for the night. It would be nice to be able to log in and finish up balancing everything. At least I got through most of my receipts via mint.com.
Target’s return policies suck. I haven’t yet figured out whether the suckiness ends with their policies or whether their backend systems admins are incompetent. Should know that in the relatively near future.
Still no tricycle motor. Looks like she got the stubborn streak and will arrive when she’s good and ready. Still plenty more to do. Certain to be another busy week at work. Life is good, though.

I'm with you wholeheartedly on the Target return comment!! HA I've had my "difficulties" over a present that Brianna got for Christmas one year. It wasn't pretty. HA

Apparently it continued to be difficult today when they brought it in with the actual receipt showing the purchase, the actual card it was purchased on, and the person who purchased it. They eventually credited it and blamed it on the person who rang it up scanning it in, not finding it, and manually overriding it with a price. And they were so, so, sorry that I think they might have apologized, but I'm not really sure. That should pretty much end most of my Target shopping.
