Life with no internet

Sucks!!! Hence the reason for no updates on my blog since July!!! The only access I have is through my iPhone!

We live in a little town called Lake Stevens Washington. It appears that this little town is still living in the stone age!! They have not updated their phone lines to handle DSL. So why not get cable Internet you say??? Well we have Directv. We LOVE our Directv!! When they installed it, they set it up where we can plug each box into the cable outlets, so we don't have a cable running through each window!! Great idea, RIGHT!!??!!?? Well thing is, that means that they can no longer run the cable internet through said outlets, whether or not they are in use. So even our free outlets have Directv running through them, therefore cannot have the cable Internet!! They told us that they can drill a hole through the outside wall and install a new outlet that's soul purpose would be for Internet, another great plan, except this is base housing!!! We are not allowed to drill a hole through the outside wall!!

So here we sit. We are debating our options, and we are pretty much limited to the USB sticks. Which means only one computer can be in use at once, we are limited in the amount of Internet usage each month, which if you know me, you know I am always on the net, and require a two year contract. And ontop of that, it is $60 a month. If they would update the phone line already, it would only cost me $10 a month, so it is REALLY hard for me to commit to paying $60 a month, when I know the day that they update the phone lines I can get it for $10 a month.

So just letting you all know, I have not forgot about my blogging friends!! It is just a pain in my behind to type this all out on my phone. So please forgive any mistakes, and bear with me!! I will be back soon!!
