What's funny Paige, other than that fact that in four minutes it will be CHRISTMAS is the fact that I did post...here's my somewhat long story:
My father decided that he'd had it with dial up service. However, those of you who've been to my house will concur that it's in the Boonies where people run around in your backyard drunk with shotguns (don't laugh, it happened) and no DSL cable can be found for miles and miles. It can be run of course, for an exhorbitant fee.
So instead we got wireless. It's great when it works. My idiot father however, installed it in our laundry; that way the whole family has pretty much the crappiest signal possibile. I'm a one woman comedy act as I wander around the house carrying my laptop looking for signal hotspots. I'm in the playroom now and it seems stable...But I randomly cut out hence

A great post was foiled
Paige you are High Flying and Adored
In an interesting side note I haven't looked at my grades yet. I'm pretty sure I can keep putting it off too; and Plueken, you're a nerd. Nothing personal just a bias against anyone with straight A's. Who know's though? Part of the reason I haven't looked is I'm praying a computer glitch will have straighened mine out. Tis the season of miracles. If any Tech nerds down in FL want to give it a try ACES is the name of our online grading system.
Y'all think I'm kidding
Oh and yeah, I'm pissed with Itunes. One of my very attainable goals was to put all those one hit wonders I have on old CD's onto Itunes, except my computer isn't recognizing random CD's. It does some, but naturally those tend to be Spice Girls and vintage Britney, not songs I care about. And no, my hall is safe I didn't import Spicegirls. It wasn't something I really really wanted.
Here are some of the workings of my holiday for those who feel the need to read.
1. My granny came down with chest pains to see Duke doctors. She only visits when she's sick I was forced to entertain her and my aunt. They're okay, but normally my mom and I have a week of hanging out just us before the other kids get out of school...for the record it turned out she's just a hypochondriac, nothing is wrong other than her being 85 years old. Downside: I made the mistake of giving my aunt my mom's cell. She's one of those call and chat for hours on end types and we get to hear all about the Feuding Newmans.
2. My sister had Nutcracker performances in RALEIGH an HOUR away right up to Christmas Eve eve and she has one the day after Christmas. The sugar plum dancing in my head is no longer a holiday thing, I'm pretty sure It's permanent background noise.
3. Parties Parties Parties. Sorry to everybody that I had to leave so early Sat but my parents had a party that night and two others in addition. That meant excessive preparation and God-awful cleanup. Just a note, people who blow their nose in cloth napkins they do not intend to launder themselves should be shot and dismemembered in either order. Shout out to K and K, you're fish is fiesty and well, and he occasionally gets fed. Karen, you're truck is safe as well, The load of manure in the back will be removed by the time you return. I hope you got home okay.
4. Babysitting. Money and birth control: how efficient.
WELL I can offically say MERRY CHRISTMAS
