It's another Pleasant Valley Street Sunday

Well, sort of. Although we didn't spend time at The Loop today, we were in the general area part of the time. I got lots of errands and other stuff done with Vitamin N:
  • Returned those two pairs of pants to Fashion Bug in Haverhill
  • Bought two more bras there
  • Returned those other two pairs of pants to Lane Bryant at the mall
  • Practically became trapped inside the mall after it closed without our noticing
  • Picked up conditioner and other stuff at the Salem, NH Target
  • Ate a very satisfying $2 dinner at Taco Bell *giggle*
  • Returned four awfully overdue library books to the Nevins Library in Methuen
  • Chitchatted about Maine
  • Debated what to do about a car next year (did you know that right now the Maxda 3i Sport is leasable at $99 a month for 42 months? $99 a month!!! I still love my Impreza, but something to keep in mind. Although the all-wheel drive is totally necessary in the northeast as far as I am concerned. So hmm, I might have just made the decision.)
  • Debated what to do about cable services. I'm not enchanted by Verizon, but $99 a month for the FIOS cable, internet, and phone seems like a good deal for 2 years instead of the ridiculous amount I am currently paying Comcast.
  • Attempted to not feel like a defeatist about my "single" situation
  • Paid as many bills as I could
  • Did a laundry
Now, I chill. Maybe some tea? (I can't believe it's almost 10 PM.) Where did the weekend go?

I just wrote Comcast a response.

Hiya!

I am The Clever Cat, but my real name is [my real name]. I have a blog (www.theclevercat.blogspot.com) and Mark left a comment on my blog about 45 minutes ago as follows:

Is Mark Casem a real person? I can send along my account info tonight as he specifies -- but I don't want to send it to a fake person. (I'm at work right now so I don't have the account number anyway.) According to some blogs Mark and We_can_help@cable.comcast.com is real, but would you please confirm? I'd love to continue to talk as I find ~$180 a month too high for the Triple Play. FIOS is laying their cable/conduit/whatever-it's-called at my development soon and my 2-year deal with Comcast also ends soon (I think this month). When I called months ago to research upcoming deals for existing customers, they offered me fewer features at the same price. Not very cool.

Thanks so much,
[My name]

He's real! He's real! And he wrote back 3 minutes later:

"Hi [Me]– I am real :) Send me your info. We’ll make sure that you’re assisted."

So I will do that, tonight. Huh! So far, I am pleased and impressed. :) indeed!
