i just talked to fred for 45 minutes on the phone. :) always always his voice comforts me. i was feeling a lil down and sick and i'm smiling now and very happy! now i should go to bed cause it's after 4am and i need to go shopping tomorrow and get my hair cut and take my NEW fantom vacuum cleaner (got it at the end of june) back cause it broke already! thank goodness for the $20 service plan. this will be the second return. and they let us get a brand new one! yeah!
