Boo!

I was excited to open my mailbox and see a card inside. That's a rare occurrence, so this made a nice surprise on a long day. The return address didn't ring a bell, but the envelope had been addressed by hand...or so I thought initially. By the time I got to my front door I determined that the writing was just a font approximating handwriting and that what was inside was probably advertising. Sure enough, it was a card was from AT&T trying to persuade me to switch my cable service to them. They even went to the trouble of having the raised Hallmark logo on the back of the envelope. Boo!

Two days ago a light bulb in my living room burned out. I hadn't replaced it because I didn't have any on hand. Miraculously I remembered on the way home. I got one of those compact fluorescents because it's supposed to be a more environmentally-conscious alternative, although I doubt the promise of nine years of use. Of course, they've got the bulb encased in plastic packaging that is is impossible to open without a cutting device. Even then it takes a fair amount of effort to get the thing out. Boo!

I don't have another item, which means I fall short of fulfilling the rule of three. Boo!
