Technology (or lack thereof)

I wish I was looking up at this view right now.

But, we can't have everything. Or so I am quickly finding out. Since my packing and moving adventure went into full swing on Friday, I have been completely consumed, and thus, sadly neglectful of my blogging duties. Many apologies. You see, although we have only moved a few miles away, and although we are located in the city of movie studios like the one B works at, we have somehow managed to land in some kind of prehistoric enclave of LA County which is not wired for cable. Yes, you heard right. No cable. Which also means, no high speed internet. Which means we have to arrange for the Dish guy to come out (ETA 4/15) and arrange for a phone line (ETA 4/8) (which we weren't planning on getting a land line) which will in turn enable us to have DSL (ETA still TBD, since we need a functional phone line first). Is it me- am I a baby- or is this a complete nightmare? I mean come on now. We can stare lovingly into each other's eyes for only so long. Living without TV OR the internet for a few days , I can do. But both? For 2 weeks? OMG.

So anyway, that's why I've been absent from our blog, and also from visiting other blogs. I need to remedy that starting today, however, for my own sanity, if nothing else! Also, starting today, I must knit again. It's been way too long. And, I need to get started on the fruit hats for the peanuts. Oh, speaking of the peanuts, my sis LA asked if I wanted to accompany her to her OB appointment on Friday, since Rex wouldn't be able to go, so of course I jumped at the opportunity. We got to see the peanuts on the ultrasound! Having never been to an OB appointment before, or seen an ultrasound in person, I was completely amazed. For all of my squinting, I could barely make out anything, but I can tell you that yes, there are definitely two of them in there, and girls at that! LA was a little disheartened to find out that they are still each just under a pound, considering how big she feels already, but I think she looks great! I am SO excited to become an Auntie...can you tell?

On the other hand, I am not excited about having to be expected to function like a normal person today. I am barely awake, and completely unmotivated, but work calls, so I must answer. Looking forward to knitting at lunch. Too bad it won't be under that palm tree in Hawaii!

Ahhh, to be under a palm tree right now. I think we need to start planning our retreat...

Wait - they can't do standalone DSL, no phone line? That's what I have - cell phone for me phone and just DSL, no "land line."

So excited for the peanuts, but not so excited about the TV-net deprivation....
