Rant #928374023972394792374 Welcome!

So I haven't blogged a lot recently.  Seeing as this is my new obsession it's rather frustrating not having Internet at home.  I've spent half my morning and last weekend pricing out different cable and Internet options.  On top of our longing and hopefulness for Internet connectivity that whole 'digital transition' thing is coming up which means my 2-7-9-11 snowy channels are not going to work soon.  My world is crumbling down around me.  I know I know hunger, famine, chafing, swamp issues, global warming, world peace all big problems.  BUT if I can't watch TV and I can't get online I won't be able to help the world solve all of these issues.  You all know swamp issues are high on my list of importance.  

Point: I've been pricing out Internet and cable and because I live in the boonies and there isn't a lot of competition its REALLY expensive.  Only a few providers offer Internet that doesn't come from a satellite.  The satellite Internet is beyond expensive.  I can't believe it.  When we lived closer to the city our total was about 40-50-60 dollars less a month than some of these plans.  

Regardless I'm going insane without a connection to the real world in my house.  Even my iPhone connection is sluggish.  I'm sad and displeased.  And if you haven't been around me today to hear my incessant whining....my neck hurts....like whoa!  When I get home I'm totally planning on popping one of those awesome monster pills they gave me after the bebes birth.  Not the narcotic ones just the Super Advil.  I flushed the narcotic ones.  I was too freaked out by all the warnings to even take them.  Anyway the Super Advil and I have a date tonight.  I will probably be in bed resting by 9 and then Dave can make fun of me because...if you didn't know this....I go to sleep at 8:30.  I didn't know this but apparently its true!  :)

Anyway lets see what else is going on in my head that I can bastardize into a sad sad semblance of sentence structure...lets back track and reevaluate...did I really spend 3 paragraphs talking about cable and Internet.  So many more interesting things are going on in my life yet this I harp on....wow I think I may be able to psychoanalyze that to death.  

In the past few weeks I haven't been at work a lot.  Due to a well planned staycation and some doctors appointments I haven't been out of our house much.  I count it a good week when you can stay in your pj's more often than you  need to get dressed.  Regardless all of the fun had to come to an end.  If it didn't I would have been out of vacation time by the end of February............................................................................  

Anyway we got a ton of stuff done around the house our third bedroom who's door has been closed since we moved in is now open and so very close to being usable.  I have to set up my desk/table and then hopefully in the next few weeks I can start posting tons of obnoxious pictures of my life which will help everyone to realize how amusingly sad it is!  Regardless I'm excited.  I will probably take pictures of all the rooms in the house and post them because...yep...I care...no one else...just me :)  We'll call them our 'before' pictures and then never have an after picture.  By the time I get around to working on our house....there will be a new social medium who's audience doesn't give a rats BEhind about my under decorated homestead.  Lets churn some butta!

I was working desperately to use the phrase "curiously unbecoming" in this rant of mine but I just couldn't seem to fit it in.  I have other ideas though....don't you worry!

good talk...

Does anyone else find it peculiar that Internet is capitalized.  I get it I really do but it still seems odd to me can't I just say internet?  Please?
