update grab bag

monday real estate update only one showing last week. but we're not complaining. even 1 a week is better than we were doing towards the end of the time with the 1st agent. then it was more like 1 a month. abby update she goes for her 3rd dose of chemo tomorrow and she seems to be doing really well. her tumors are much smaller and she acting perfectly "normal" (and by normal we mean freaking bonkers.) lemon jetta update all seems well. for now. snow update last night we got about 3 inches on the ground. and an inch on our screened in porch due to the crazy wind. work update i'm starting to understand what is going on. i actually completed my first bit of work today after a couple week of meeting and greeting co-workers. quentin update he's cute. took lots of photos this weekend. maybe i'll get them onto the computer tomorrow. public service announcement if you are in the market for baby goods, i recommend you steer clear of babyage.com. we ordered quentin's high chair from there because it was $50 cheaper than any other place we saw it. unfortunately, when it arrived it was cracked. no big deal, just call them and they'll be happy to remedy the situation, right? wrong. after several weeks of calling and emailing them daily i have given up. they do not call you back. they do not email you back. if you google them, there are hundreds of similar stories. we finally just went straight to the manufacturer, even though we had to pay the shipping to return (just some parts, fortunately) of the broken one. writing a strongly worded letter to babyage and cc-ing the BBB is on my list of to-do items once i have a fully functional chair within my possession.
