No Rant, Just Rave

We finally celebrated Valentine's Day this past week by having dinner at Taste of Texas, courtesy of a gift card I received months ago. We decided to share the porterhouse steak for two - "Thirty-two ounces of the king of steaks! Over one-and-a-half inches thick and fall-off-the-bone tender." - split tableside for sharing. Accompanied by two salads and a side order for each person. You can pick out the steak yourself or trust the butcher to pick one out for you. We decided to let the butcher choose for us. We made our way to the salad bar and loaded up on salad and fresh bread (my favorite was the asiago cheese roll). I was still working on my salad when the main entree arrived. The steak was huge. We shared a loaded baked potato and texas au gratin potatoes. I don't eat a lot of meat, especially steak but I have to say this was the best steak I've ever had....especially the filet portion. Super tender and extremely flavorful. I guess you do get what you pay for....this place is not cheap. Thank goodness for gift cards. Luckily, we were smart enough to say no to the offer of appetizers and dessert. I was stuffed by the end of the meal.
Happy belated Valentine's Day.

Sprint Review 3

Don't even get me started. Lets just say, if I could do it over again, I wouldn't. I spent a large portion of my evening on the phone with three customer service reps trying to get my bill straightened out - we are being charged for services we didn't order, request, or approve. We're still not getting Power Vision free. It was supposed to be free for both of us the first month. However, none of the Sprint employees could get Power Vision to work on our phones until recently. So our first free month, we didn't even have Power Vision on our phones! Jeremy's phone was credited for this month but it wasn't even for the correct Power Vision plan. My phone was not credited and I'm getting billed for video mail on top of it. Never asked for it, never ordered it, never used it. Our bill still isn't completely right but I finally gave up the fight. At least for tonight. Long enough to watch the news anyway....to hear them say that Sprint/Nextel has been illegally charging customers a "Texas Margin Fee Reimbursement" tax. I don't have the energy to check our bill for it.
On a brighter note, Jeremy has a rehearsal tonight so I turned off the heat, opened the windows, and turned the ceiling fans on....it's nice and cool in the house now. Just the way I like it.
