Hallelujah and Thank You Jesus!

We have Internet again!!

That's right folks, I'm blogging from my computer and not my phone! I can't even begin to explain how wonderful it is!

A quick update on all our scheduled activities for the day.....

1. As I said last night, our household goods didn't come today. Boo. The good (?) news is, our move manager called this evening and asked how the receipt of our goods went. I was like, wha? We didn't get our stuff today. She seemed genuinely surprised (and really pissed) about this and I'm pretty sure that she called several people after that and bitched them out for dropping the ball. Hopefully we get our things tomorrow. The snow has basically stopped (we did end up getting a significant accumulation) but we're supposed to get some freezing rain tonight which could make the roads treacherous tomorrow.

2. Cable guy showed up and informed me that he couldn't set everything up without the TV. Went out to the van to reschedule us with his supervisor, then came back to the door and said that he was actually going to set it up for us and come back once we get our TVs to finish the installation. Weird, but okay.

3. Internet guy came a little later and we are all wired for the Interwebz! Woo hoo!

4. D drove all around the county this morning and got the water, energy and garbage all set up for us, so we're totally good now!

I'm not gonna lie people, I'm kind of almost glad that the movers weren't here today while all this was going on. It would have been a total clusterf*ck trying to keep AJ and everyone else out of each other's way. As it is, I'm feeling optimistic about getting our stuff tomorrow and if all else fails, at least we have the Internet to watch Netflix and TV shows on!

As soon as I find my camera cable, pictures will be posted, I promise!

Thank Goodness for Internet!

We finally have Internet and cable in our house. This means I can do everything so much easier! The only downside is that we still do not have our household goods, which means we have no furniture, pots, pans, dishes, linens, clothes, etc. other than the stuff we brought with us in the car. Our TVs are part of that shipment. We will just have to download shows on iTunes and watch them on the computer for a little while longer. We're hoping our stuff will be here Monday.

So you're probably wondering what the first thing and Internet addict like me did when we finally got back online. D, AJ and I hopped in the car and went to the farmer's market! Seriously. We got a bunch of great produce and some bread as well. Before you go getting all excited, just envision a park with 2 tents housing some Amish people selling tomatoes, zuchini, homemade bread, and blueberries. That is where we went. They also had some homemade laundry detergent which I might be adventurous next time and buy.

This afternoon will be spend installing the new Apple AirPort Extreme wireless router that we bought last night at the PX. We are so excited to finally have a Mac compatible router! I know, some of you are thinking, "all routers work with Macs." Yes, they do. They don't work well with Macs. The router we had typically required a whole day of phone calls and tech support from India just to establish a shoddy wireless connection to my Mac. D has a PC, and the Internet is always fabulous for him.

We did some research and found this router. In the description and the reviews it says that this is the best wireless router for mixed Mac/PC households, which we continue to be for the time being. Once I finally lure D to the dark side (a.k.a. get him a Mac) the router will still be just as easy to use! Hooray for simplicity!
