So, I gave in.
For those of my readers who followed my previous blog, you know the problems I had with trying to get cable tv and internet in my house. For my new readers, let me just give you a brief recap:
~eight different techs came to my house
each one didn't want to do the job of installing new jacks
it got ugly
lots of crankiness
finally gave up
But now that several months have passed and I am feeling more collected and civil, and that I've rethought things and decided that I'll just use the existing cable outlets instead of having new ones installed in different, better locations in my house...
I'm getting cable! Cable tv....just basic, but that means no more bunny ears! and about 75 glorious channels to surf! Personally, I love watching Discover Channel, TLC, and The Food Network. My husband will be thrilled to have The History Channel and The Cartoon Network. Yay!
And oh the cable internet connection will be soooo nice too!! Right now our DSL connection is stinky. I'm just thrilled.
That's all happening on the 15th...this.coming.Tuesday!
Then! Seeing as how I don't need the land line any more really...since we all know how I hate the phone...
~*laughs like a mad scientist*~ I'm getting rid of it!!
We're going totally cellular! His and Her phones. While it's definately not a new idea, it still feels so fancy schmancy!! And I'm excited about it.
And seeing as how I'm so excited about it, I think my real problem lies with land line phones and not phones entirely. I do like my cell phone. And I'll love it more when I have my own and my husband has his own and that the minutes between our phones don't count so I can call him up and say "Hi!" 800 times in a row if I like and it's FREE within our plan!
However, if I did that, somehow I don't think my husband would be very happy with me.
But! That's not the point...the point is...I could do it if I wanted to...from anywhere in the nation!
Oh yeah, but we don't have the cell phones yet. Maybe this weekend we'll get them!

I'm not sure how big of a job it would be to install cable jacks, but I think one of "the guys" could have done it, as he has talked my ear off about doing something similar for us. But anyway, I hear cable is much better than DSL, but I don't watch enough tv to warrant paying more for a faster connection and to watch a handful of shows every blue moon (since I'm assuming that's a package deal). We finally got the two cell phone thing, but we're keeping our land line. If we were to get rid of that, all the phone calls would naturally be filtered to MY cell phone (like Gramma A and other annoying family members), which is something I don't want! Noone knows my cell phone number though, come to think of it. So far it has been useful in that my husband takes it when his runs out of juice. ;)
Ha! SuperMana, I don't use my cell much either. I have no reason to, but I bring it with when I go somewhere with the kids, just in case of an emergency. I really don't like the phone and I don't spend that much time talking on it-land line or otherwise.

YOU NEED TO HANG OUT WITH MY WIFE!!! She needs a good influence like you. She's been fighting me on the cable issue since we got married. When we moved in to our new house, we still had these rabbit ears that didn't work worth a crap. She pretended for about three months that nothing was wrong and that's just how TV looked. It finally had to lose signal during one of her shows before she'd admit it. We got cable a few weeks ago. Cable Internet is next, but we're happy with DSL for now. It seems to be good for what we use the net for.
If you guys move down south, we'll help you move in to the house next door...really.
