To reactivate the PlayOnline account, which will not incur any negative strikes against it, please contact the PlayOnline Information Center via telephone at (858) 790-PLAY (7529) or by utilizing online web chat at https://secure.playonline.com/supportus/. In order to assist you as quickly as possible we have created a special flow to help players affected by this. The Information Center will be open from Monday-Friday 9am-6pm with a special option setup to quickly assist you with account reactivation.  In addition to normal business hours, we will be offering special chat support on Saturday, May 30th, from 11am to 4pm (PDT).

Please have the following forms of identification ready to expedite the reactivation process.

I LOST 20 POUNDS!!! 

Caity took over Bart's empty desk....


So Danny moved in on mine.

http://www.ohio.com/news/top_stories/39559097.html

scroll like halfway down the page and read "Logged in for love" 

It's a purse made out of Bart's work shirt, so while he's in Korea I will have it to help me feel better. I hope.

HEEEEEY YOU GUYSSSS!!! Since Bartypoo will be in Korea for a year without his family, he gets base preference when he comes back... (That means he is supposed to be able to go to pretty much any base he wants.) Our first choice was to go back to Japan, we loved it there and have been a little "homesick" since that was where we lived for the first year and a half of our marriage. But of course the military is a bitch sometimes and told us no. (Don't even get me started.) so our 2nd choice was Eglin, it's near Pensacola Florida and VERY close to the beach and it was APPROVED so next year I am moving to FLORIDA!  Check it out! http://www.united-publishers.com/EglinGuide/ 

Look at my pretty new bathroom!



And my gorgeous baby


Ok now the links work 

Hi guys! Looks like we are switching back to WoW AGAIN... at least I have most of you on myspace this time. Of course they just billed us so I am still active til March 31st, so let me know if you need me! Nerces, I sent your tunic back last night, hope you got it! Thanks for letting me borrow it ^^

<3 you guys!!!

Ok I know I bitch about my dog a lot, she pees all over my house blah blah blah. LOOK at what she did to my back yard, and this is just ONE spot, there are like 25 holes spread all over my yard!




And here's my sweet little baby Caitlyn =)

I made this over 3 years ago, for Bart BEFORE I married him! :O
