BOYCOTT!!!!!!!!!!

Circuit City Sucks!!!!!!!!!!

I need to vent:

Just want you all to know that we are boycotting circuit city. I won't go into alot of detail, but they are not a very customer friendly store to work with.

So, a little less than a year ago, I bought a new TV and a surround sound system. At the time of the purchase, as with most stores when you are spending that much money, everyone was as pleasant as pie. They asked if we wanted a protection plan, of course we did, they added it on. Well, last month the DVD changer that was the main component of the surround system stopped working. After 1 hour on the phone with who-knows-where, ( I think at one point I was in India), and then another 20 minutes or so with the local store, I find out that I don't actually have a protection plan on the surround system, it only applied to the TV. So I ask them, how do you sell a package deal and only get protection on part of it and why didn't anyone tell me that when I made the purchase????????????

Long story a little shorter, they agreed to give me credit for the amount of the system. So, I ask the guy if I have to purchase another system with the credit or can I come in and buy $250 worth of movies if I wanted to? He said I could do what ever I wanted with the credit. The next day, we went in to spend our credit. They rang everything up and told me I owed another $15 on top of the credit. HUH? I kept track of what I was getting and I should have had some left. So I pay the $15 and as I am looking at my reciept, I notice that two of the items rang up wrong based on the pegs that they were on. One of the items was a $50 difference and the other one was only a $10 difference. NOW, we all know that I have had PLENTY of experience with the retail business and how it normally works. They would not honor either of the price differences for me becuase it isn't their fault that they were on the wrong pegs. Needless to say, I snatched my bag off the counter and Diego and I left the store screaming and yelling about their service and we will never go back.

If you happen to see me in their store, you better watch your pricing becuase the only reason I will go back is to change merchandise around so that they get all kinds of other people screaming and yelling and making their lives miserable because they won't honor their pricing.

WHEW! I am glad I got that off my chest. Happy reading.

New Look

Hey everyone,

Just thought I would change things up a bit. This will sort of be my way of letting you know what sport we are up to ears in at the moment. Hope all is well with everyone.

Will it ever quite snowing?????????

Well, here is my update.

It is snowing and it won't quit!!!!!!!!! Between Miguel and I, my driveway was shoveled four times between 5:30 am and 7:30 am, and to look at it now, you wouldn't be able to tell. I know there are places that are worse, but good grief.

Other than that, just the same ol' same ol'. Kids are doing great, mom and dad are doing great.

Any of you family or friends that find this blog through other blog sites, please include your own blogsite in your comments so I can keep up. I have had a few people comment and 'find me' but then I can't get into their site. If you need to send an 'invitation', send it to: dpena@mstarmetro.net

Happy New Year!!!!!!

Well, another year come and gone. Time sure does fly.

2007 was not really that eventful, I guess. Not that we didn't do anything, but nothing grand or earthshattering happened to us, which I guess could be considered a good thing. And as of right now, 2008 isn't looking any more grand than 2007, of course, seeing as how the year has just started, I guess anything is possible.

We are blessed to have been able to go through the year without any catastrophies, our water pipes didn't even freeze this winter (knock on wood, the winter is not over). Our kids have all been healthy, they are doing great in school, and excelling in sports. Speaking of which, I wasn't sure this was possible, but, yes, we have added yet another sport to our mix. Wrestling! Diego was on the football team at Provo High and once the season ended we found out that wrestling is a great sport for football players ( I haven't completely understood why as of yet). So, Diego has joined the wrestling team at Provo High. They had a mini tournament for kids ages 5-13 a couple of weeks ago, and guess who wants to wrestle now??????????? Yes, like they don't already have a bazillion other things to do, Miguel and Antonio. They actually did quite well at the tournament. They had a week to 'learn', and they both were pretty quick learners. So now, the time we used to use for re-couping, Oct - Dec, will most likely be spent not re-couping.

We are looking forward to all the 2008 will bring our way, whether it be good or bad, and we are thankful for all of the people in our lives that support us. We look forward to the continued support.

This is a scarf and hat that I made for Suania's daughter, but the hat was to small, so I have to do another one.

These are some pictures of the cake I did for Miguel's birthday this last weekend.
