Plugged In & Happy BDay Sarah ...

-Unplugged -

I have been unplugged from both the internet or cable since we moved into the new apartment on August 28th.

At first it was a novelty, but within days it became a nightmare and after about a week it just became, well,  life unplugged!

I tried to live off my cell phone which has data but because of the rather *crappy* cell phone reception we get at our apartment - it was a struggle.

Last night we were finally able to get back, 'Plugged In'.   Yeah!  

We still don't have cable and probably won't bother with it.  I subscribed to Netflix last night and you can watch both movies and TV shows online with it.

I don't even wonder if I'm addicted to the internet ... I know I am and I don't care.  

Being 'plugged in' seems to shrink the world so that we are all within shouting distance and being 'unplugged' feels like you are floating all alone without a tether in outer space.

That's all for today because I have several blogs to catch up on and bills to pay but before I go ....

A BIG BIRTHDAY SHOUT OUT TO 

SARAH!!

As Homer would say , D'oh! Sorry I'm missed your BDay!!

I hope you had a wonderful Day Sarah.

(Sept. 9th)
PS: Homer, put your pants back on!
