I know, I have a strange sense of humor. Not in a sci-fi sort of way, neither do I have a dry humor but more of a wacky sense.
I do not have a telephone, a telephone number, cable, wi-fi, nor a mailbox-in case you were so sure snail-mail would reach me swifter than any other means of communication.
In a new construction the cable company needs a week to make it out to your land and survey where to put your lines. Thereafter 4-5 more days for the actual hook-up. Which as we all know is a major process. But since my phone line is through my cable I would have to have another line to use in order to get my home phone hooked up, say a ceeell-phone?? Oh, but guess what my cell will no longer dial out due to the fact that I am 400 minutes over my plan.
You can feel my frustration, I know.
Today Mike heads to S. to pay on my phone so that after 1 long week, I can successfully return to the land of the living. Ok maybe not living, functioning, no communicating, no not that either (I do not have that problem-ever). Land of the un-isolated!
I am thrilled at all the possiblities my new freedom will bring. I am light on my feet, dwelling on all the potential I will have when armed w/ a phone, this morning as I slip into the tub for my bath. When what happened next felt like someone punched me in my stomach, and here's where my sense of humor comes into play. In slow motion I reach for my wash cloth and it catches on my cell phone, thrusting it across the water, a straight shot. I anticipated what was about to happen, and I could not stop it. My phone sinks w/ a thud. I began to scream loundly, calling to anyone who who could hear me, as I am looking behind me over my right shoulder, then my left, then my right, "MAN DOWN, MAN DOWN!"
Then, I cried.
And just in case you were wondering, NO I do not have a trash can yet!!!

You have a lot to get done in a week. :)
Wait I am bringing my own phone and computer.
You will have to get a trash can.
Des, I was wondering if you are still in the land of the living!! Now I know why I cannot get a hold of you! I said good-bye to Rachel this morning...so sad!! If you would have been home this morning, I would have stopped in and cried a few tears. It was to late to stop in at BS, but I seriously thought of it!:) Nothing like talking to a friend when your feeling down. Let me know what works good for you about coming over sometime...soon...I need to spend some time with you again.:) Call me once you have your phone's up and running...drama...drama...don't you love it?!!!:)
Dez!!! What??? No wonder I can't get ahold of you. I Can't stand it!!! Do something!!! Mom XOXOX
I know when Karen is there she will
buy you a trash can!! A new phone and a new computer. Am I dreaming??
I have decided to comment on everyones blog this morning.
So we have a pond out in front of our house with fish in it, and a waterfall. The only problem is that winter is on its way to freeze my little pond, and fish. So, do I try to fish those little guys out and keep them in a tank in the house? Or do I let them freeze and hope that they don't freeze and actually live? Aggh! I can't let those little guys die like that. Maybe I can buy a heater?
there's a whole wide world going on and you're missing it! :) Isn't if funny how only a few short years ago we didn't even have cell phones and computers! :) hope you get one up and running soon, I am curious what you did about your nylons for the wedding.
