MTV

Maddie TV, that is. This is so funny.

and I quote...

I emailed Walgreens' customer service/help address listed on the photo website. I was pleased to see a message in my inbox within hours. At first I thought maybe it was one of thsoe automatic email messages saying "thank you for your inquiry, we will get back to you soon..." or whatever. Instead it was a real emal. And I quote:

"Thank you for contacting Walgreens.com Customer service.This is in response to your email regarding the technical difficulties you experienced while using Walgreens Photo Center.We apologize that your shopping cart emptied while you were attempting to place an online photo order. If your photo cart empties again, please enter the following URL into your browser’s address bar immediately:http://photo.walgreens.com/accesscache. Please include the first five lines of the results from the“Cache Elements & Status” page with your reply to this email."

Not the response I was looking for, I guess.

nothing like good music and good friends

to make one feel better! We had two birthday parties to attend yesterday following the photo incident, and following those I went to the scrap store. On the way, I was listening to 102, and they had such good music on. I turned it super loud and sang along. It made me feel much better. I also decided to make a best song list...I'll go with songs you turn up loud and sing along every time. I won't say of all time--necessarily, but most of them would fit that category on my list, too. Songs that, if I had an ipod or mp3, I'd play them over and over and over. In no particular order.
In the Meantime--Spacehog
It's the end of the world as we know it--REM (I love REM)
Cannonball--the Breeders
Freefalling-Tom Petty (okay, just about any Tom Petty)
Beds are Burning--Midnite Oil
Flagpole Sitta--Harvey Danger
Going the distance--Cake
Santa Monica--Everclear (love alot of Everclear, too)
Cumbersome--7 Mary 3
Mr. Brightside--the Killers
Lazy Eye--Silversun Pickups
Get it together--Beastie Boys
Candyman--Christina Aguilera
Good--Better than Ezra
I'm the only one--Melissa Ethridge
Redneck Woman--Gretchen Wilson
Laid--James
I'd Run Away--the Jayhawks
Stay--Lisa Loeb
Low--Cracker (uh, I dig them, too)
Take the skinheads bowling--Camper van Beethoven
Geez, I didn't even list DMB or Counting Crows. Well I have everyone of those CD's. I could go on forever. I think I need to get an mp3 player. I don't know what I'd do with it. But it would be full of good music.

no way

I can't even believe it, but it happened again. I had 99 photos in the cart, was adding one more and ready to check out. Then it told me I had one photo in my cart. This sucks.

ready to barf

All week I have been spending alot of time uploading pictures to walgreens site. I had 100 pictures in my cart, ready to go. All the quantities and sizes were ready to go, and it was buy 50 pictures for $5, a good deal. As I go to check out, I click on "update total" to see the price. Instead it clears my cart. I hit the back button, but no luck. My week's worth of work, gone : ( I don't even have the patience or energy to go through all those pictures and try to remember which ones I had chosen (we are talking a span of 7 years). Ugh on technology.
