Ugh…



So SBC totally sucks… We got the whatever it was to be online, but they still wont turn us on for another week or so, they claim it’s some kind of FCC thing… pssht… I’ve got a frickin’ FCC license…what are we waiting for?! (I’m sure it has nothing to do with an FCC license…but still, it made me laugh to type that – and that’s important right now). But seriously, we ordered this frickin Yahoo/SBC DSL crap a month ago…what’s the deal?

So this suburban living thing is…interesting… We’ve met all the neighbors, they’re letting us use their wireless internet which is awesome. And we’ve loaned them our lawnmower. Yup, it’s one happy little community. I’ve already had to pull some weeds out of the landscaping in the front yard but I have yet to get the chance to plant anything. I’ve discovered that in the night Mabel hops up on the kitchen counter and eats my shamrocks and then pukes them up on the nice new carpet in the family room… and one of the dogs is angry and poops on the diningroom floor.

The kitchen is nearly set up, we just need to decide who’s kitchen table to use and then put the legs back on and get it in there. We’ve discovered some “mystery boxes” it was fun to ponder what was inside mine. Unfortunatly it wasn’t nearly as exciting when I opened it….it was just a box of bathroom supplies….bah… Now I need to go through the 6 boxes of books to find one to read on the train tomorrow. I may decide to dive into one of the boxes that says “stuff and books” though, cuz I think that’s the one with the new books Tammy gave me.

The cat/dog thing is….well….it’s sort of what I was expecting. I’m just hoping the dogs settle down with the cats soon. I know the cats are tired of hiding in the bathroom all the time. I’m really tired of the incessant barking at all hours and the chasing of the cats up and down the stairs. Mabel had better bite Christian on the ass or I’m going to do it myself…
