Hello, Shir! Always good to see your pixels! I have no advice about the southwest, myself, but I hope your mom and sister enjoy their vacation!
Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Shir, about the only advice I have for mobile carriers is "not Sprint". I recently changed from AT&T to T-Mobile (for BS billing and corporate politics reasons, not coverage. But the one thing that everyone agreed on when I was shopping around was "not Sprint") - I think they both do okay for coverage. But that's only around San Diego County, and to a certain extent, LA and Santa Barbara, I've spent very little time in Arizona or inland California.
Side note, I was very excited when I saw Ted Williams Pkwy on their itinerary - that's super-close to me! Then remembered that they don't actually know me. So never mind.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Looks like they have a lovely trip planned, Shir. I would also concur with the "not Sprint" vote, but I'm sure others have more to add.
So my colleague and I turned in our grant proposal today. From our point of view, it's all done. Now we cross our fingers and wait. Won't hear until March. I may be a stress case then.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I just had an absurd work conversation about panties and sexy nuns.
There were moments here that involved a priest and nipple clips.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Congrats, Burrell!
I just picked up a ton of produce, and came home and ate pimento cheese on potato chips for dinner. Eh.

Shir! I got nothin' on the phone coverage, sorry. But it's nice to see your pixels. I hope your family has a nice trip, whatever carrier they choose.

I just bought a bunch of veg from the farmers market, but if TCG hadn't cooked dinner, I would have had a bag of doritos and a glass of milk.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Shir, for that area, Verizon (or any carrier that piggybacks on them, list is here: [link] has the best coverage. They're also most likely the most expensive, though.

No brain-searing displays at the pool tonight. Though one kid dubbed me a dolphin and kept dolphin talking at me (all instructor Christie's fault.) I could hear her doing it every time I got near them in the pool. Much more PG, though I'm pretty sure Christie was regretting it by the end of the lesson...
Cleaned upstairs. As much as I dinna wanna clean this weekend, I shoulda. Last night I did downstairs, tonight up. I prefer marathon 2.5 hrs on a weekend. We must be inherently messier than some of my other friends with cats who don't clean as often as I do. Cause I've seen their houses and I have no idea how they go more than 2 weeks without a thorough vac and mop without reaching the state I do. Hell, as summer starts, I have to run the vac in some rooms weekly.
Also, my shoulder hates vacuuming.
