OF MEMBERSHIP, WIRELESS, & WATER HEATERS...

My wife and I went all out today. We both had the day off so we thought we would take advantage of our time together.

We head into Fresno to take care of our Costco membership. Her parents dropped us from their account. I guess in retaliation for their moving out of our humble abode. Whatever. We upgraded to Executive Membership. Hah, take that, in-laws! You can have your "Business Membership."

Next, we went to the Verizon kiosk in Costco and switched from AT&T to Verizon. Now, we will have reception in the hills and far away. AT&T did us no good, so we decided with Verizon. We are locked in for two years. Since we switched carriers, we had to get new phones as well. My wife got the Motorola DroidX and I got the LG Octane. But, honey, I wanted a Droid, too! Anyhow, we are happy.

We also purchased survival items such as bathroom tissue (aka toilet paper), paper towels, laundry detergent, turkey slices (two pounds for $11.99!, and organic olive oil (two 1.5 liters for $20.39 is a steal, too). That Executive Membeship does wonders for the ego. Let's see...two percent back for every purchase...Yep, we raked in the benefits of membership.

Next, we drive down to Lowes to purchase a 50-gallon electric water heater and some plumbing hardware.
