Chatters!!!!! I have internet again.....go me! It has been a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong week and a half. Can you imagine no internet for that long??? Well let me tell ya, it SUCKS! We couldn't even watch TV for a week, so I finally got hacked off at the cable company and switched to DISH. But then they had to FedEx my modem to me, so that took another good part of a week, but its all good now! I can go back to neglecting my family! Not that that was particularly difficult without internet, but you know. Now at least I will be in one spot while doing it. Ok, I know everyone is on pins and needles waiting to hear my saga, so here goes.....
As previously mentioned, said modem was to be en route via FedEx. However, they weren't going to "flip the switch" until Thursday, whatever that means. No internet for me until Thursday is what I got out of it. But the lovely lady at DISH (who was very southern btw, and you know I'm partial to southerners) assured me that my modem would be here no later than Thursday. Thursday afternoon rolls around, and by 4:00 I'm panicking. No modem. So I call DH and make him call DISH to see if we can just go buy a modem and refuse to accept the one that they shipped. I mean, I am willing to trade a kid for a modem by this point. Or two. Poor DH was in a meeting, but left to make the call for me. Oh, and I tried to call myself, but he didn't authorize me on the account when he set it up, and I think I scared them a little. Apparently unauthorized pissy crazy women get no service from DISH. Just for future reference. So they assure him that our modem is on the truck and headed to our house. I'm suspicious that they are just trying to pacify us cause they have a mental image of me as Ma Kettle with a shotgun, but I decide to give it an hour. It arrives!!!!!!! I completely ignore all other responsibilities such as dinner and get busy hooking up my baby. I mean, come on, we have Ramen and a box of mac and cheese, they're not gonna starve. So all is going well until I hit the part where I actually need to get to the server. The email they gave me doesn't work. So I have to call. I get to talk to Mohinder!! (Ok, sorry, I'm a Heroes freak, and I don't know any other Indian names. I have a lovely Indian neighbor who incessently wanders the neighborhood - in pants, shin length shirt, Nikes and a Russian fur cap, but I don't know his name - not sure he does either, but the invisible friend he talks to might be able to tell me) Mohinder and I have language barrier issues, and he apparently has never heard of a Mc anything - but whatever. After I decipher the email address he gave me i was in like Flynn!!! And then my kid immediately slithered right in and got on myspace......
So did my package arrive to its destination? And when do I get to open mine? I've been good, and haven't even peeked! Later taters!
)
and pretty
Just like my plushies.
(which idea do you think would freak DH out the most? Me having a girlfriend, or that she looked like a 30-something dude?)
But my poor Neopet was dying from hunger!!
