"When this baby hits 88 miles per hour..."





When we decided to move to the country, I had no idea we were going back in time. Of course we aren't connected to city sewers, so we have a septic tank--no big deal. We can't get cable TV, so we are going to get a dish. The worst part of this is that I have to break up with TiVo. Until they can solve their disagreements with Echostar, they are not going to be compatible. Fortunately, the Dish HD DVRs are supposed to be pretty nice. I kind of got off subject there for a minute. We just found out this week that we can't get DSL out there either. Our choices for internet are pretty slim it seems. We can get satellite internet which is not that fast and really expensive. We can get dial-up, which is probably worse than not having internet at all. We are opting for choice number three, which is Clearwire. It works on a cell phone band, and the little time I spent playing with it today makes me think I might be able to live with it. We are now at the point where about half of our stuff is at each house. Basically, if I am looking for something I need, it is at the other house. The new house is almost liveable now. It's still a little like camping, but we finally got a refrigerator and washer and dryer. Tiffany actually took a load of clothes across town just so she could use her new washer. Mom and Dad are bringing the dining room table this weekend. My new TV came this week. We are going to hang it on the wall, but I haven't done it yet. The satellite guy is coming tomorrow. I think that's all for tonight. I apologize if this post is all over the place. I just finished watching Lost, which always makes me a little crazy.

By the way, according to dictionary.com, liveable can also be spelled livable. I personally like the way I spelled it the first time.

  1. Whoa, I'm envious of your new fridge and washer & dryer. Nice!
    Enjoy your new place. Is this where we're having the reunion next spring? :-)

  2. I just had to leave a comment so it says "2 comments" instead of "1 comments."
