Now I just have to wait for them to come in the mail.
Today, my bloggy friends, I clicked “submit” on an order of High Speed Internet. And, though it took three hours of hassling a representative through online chatting (I do love that they give me that option), I even got it for the price I am paying now for unreliable, slo-o-o-ow wireless.
*Squeal!*
Oh, the pictures and the movies, they will be coming in abundance soon. And I will be able to watch your movies. And all the movies they show on the news sites. Because I have had to skip over them, you know. And I have, for the most part, missed out on the YouTube fanaticism.
But, oh ho, no longer.
And there will no longer be the click a link, go do laundry, come back and see if the page has loaded yet frustration. Although, I do wonder how this will effect my laundry duties.
I may have to impose stricter Internet hours upon myself to keep a decent balance.
But we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it.
And that is not all.
Because I was able to get better Internet without paying more, I can keep my cellular plan too – and that means a FREE UPGRADE PHONE (FUP)*!
So look! Look at the pretty! (No, it is not pink. I wanted the pink. But Josh would not allow the pink.)
(And as much as I hate to admit it, he has a valid point. Because, you see, Josh gets my hand-me-down phones. Before you go and gasp in disbelief that I would dishonor my husband with my used cellular toys in that manner, it really does make more sense this way. Because he rarely uses his phone. In fact, he has a pay-as-you-go plan because he doesn’t not use enough minutes to warrant a real plan. And pay-as-you-go plans do not include those handy FUPs. So his FUP will be this one (which I have enjoyed for the past two years). And he is, indeed, very excited about his FUP.)
So it works. Really. We’re okay with our little arrangement.
Especially me. Because see what my FUP*can do! Really, go play with it.
Surely you must be as excited as I am. Surely.
——————————
*Sigh. I cannot lie to you. My FUP was not really “Free”. It was significantly reduced, though! “SRUP” just doesn’t have the right sound. You understand, right?
Cute phone! My husband gets my hand-me-downs as well. Right now he’s using a red one that I had from before we met and he was so looking forward to getting my Razr but then it just died. So he’s stuck with the bright red phone.
Wait till you have that internet for a bit, it is wonderful and you wonder how you ever lived without it. Ours was more expensive than dialup, but it sure is worth it since we have two and sometimes three computers running at the same time and still have the same speed!
Do that with dial up!
I am soooo jealous! Really jealous! I was just thinking this weekend that I should call again and see what the rates were for DSL. I gotta get something better.
I’m still hanging in there with dial-up. Josh is using it more than I am, so he’s feeling most of the pain- I tend to not get on the computer when I get home.
Hey there, I think your website might be having browser compatibility issues. When I look at your blog site in Opera, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, great blog!
