You know how your car never makes that noise when your husband's driving? Well, Jamie couldn't see anything wrong with our internet connection, and yet... anyway, last night he found it. Our antenna is doing something weird, so he's going to switch it out. I feel better already. Not that I have a lot of time to play or anything, but just to know that there is a reason why we could get internet sometimes and not others, and why we could get into some sites and not others, makes me feel a little less crazy. A little. So, I might down by one more problem this afternoon. And Randy should be back Monday. I'm thinking about making a list just to help him stay focused!!
Well, Michael's getting ready for work and I still have to press a jacket, so I'll have to go for now. Hope to be back in the land of the connected soon!!

Land of the Lost
Try again...
I have lost about three very lengthy posts and it's getting a bit frustrating, so this will be kept very short!
We are moved into our house, although there is no one room that is completely finished! It's pretty hard to truly unpack that way, but we're managing! We keep looking at the mountain of boxes in my mother's basement and wonder where we're going to put it all! Oh, well, at least the pit's still out back to discard the obvious!
We've been having a horrible time with the internet. We're using a wireless antenna that one of my classmates is setting up for us, but it's just so strange. The antenna doesn't get along well with our TV antenna, so they might have to be put in separate corners. When it is working, I still can't seem to sign into things like my banks or even blogger, or pick up email attachments. The video games, however, are usually the easiest to get up and running. Oh, if that were all I needed!! Sometimes I can only see my email, but can't actually get the email opened. I've tried to observe if it's weather related, but it happens on any kind of day. There were two days that were incredibly windy and the antenna blew to the wrong direction and Michael wouldn't get up there and turn it!! The nerve!! I guess when you know you can't do the important stuff anyway, there's not much use in risking life and limb on an icy, windy roof!
Anyway, just letting anyone who hasn't given up on me know that we are alive and well, though our enthusiasm is fading... no, it's really great to have a home and we're praising God through it all!!
PS... if I can't get email working today... crafting/cropping at the church this Saturday, 1-9pm!!

Happy New Year, Happy New Home!!
We've started staying at the Blue House, but it's pretty rough! The bathroom isn't really finished enough to "move in," and there's no real moving in to the kitchen yet, but the bedrooms are ready. Michael and I spent a while getting those closets ready enough. We still have no internet, but frequently run to Grandma's house to check messages and load up again. We'll get it all eventually. She tends to set out what she thinks we'll need next as well as that which she'd like to see disappear!
Just wanted to let everyone know why you haven't heard from me. I'll post more later, but wanted you to know we're alive and well and living in our new home. Spiff is enjoying being a house cat again and not a basement cat!
Drop by if you're in the neighborhood!!
