Well, internet, I had just about given up the thoughts of my blog when I discovered that I have a small but meaningful fan base out there. So..I've decided to give it another try.

I have a new, high speed internet connection through my cable company. It's connected to the computer in the room above my head. I had since invested more than $100 in some equipment that is supposed to connect this wonderful high speed, never shut you off in the middle of an e-bay bidding war, type of internet to THIS computer wirelessly.

I followed all the directions and I can't get it too work. I was sure at the beginning of this adventure that I would make more than one trip to the computer geeks for instructions, but he made it all sound so easy. He told me it was marketed for consumers and, as anyone who knows me will attest, I am a uber-consumer!

Leah's sister was helping me with this set up until, while surfing the net on her newly high-speed connected internet upstairs, found out that her ex-best friend and another ex-not-so-good-friend have gotten an apartment together and this threw her into a tizzy. Now, why this would be upsetting to her is beyond me. She once spent a total of 2 days in Florida with this ex-best when, fed up with the multitude of scum she was picking up on the beach and bringing back to their vacation bungalow, called and begged for a ticket home. And before you think she must be some uptight little prude, let me add that they were about 15 at the time!

She also has some yummy photos of herself on something called "Web Honeys", but you didn't hear it from me!

I will keep plugging away at this computer problem and will update you on any advancements made. Or, I may chuck the whole cable moden thing and sign up for SBC Yahoo! st $14.95.

Hey, my sister got a $50 Visa gift card when she did.
