Say it ain't so
Do you want to know what happened last night? It was horrible, just horrible. The cable went out... not just the TV people, the damn Internet as well.
OH
MY
GOD
What do we do now? We have never practiced for such a major emergency... Luckily Charter Communications does not allow all the nice PERKS on military bases that everyone is dying to have such as Digital Phone or DVR services so I could still use my phone.(Oh Thank you Charter for being the piece of shit service that you are), I quicky call them within the first 2 minutes of loosing our connections and they tell me that yes there is an outage. Well, duh, I was not calling to confirm, I want to know when the hell it's going to be back on!! Sorry, no can tell....Fuckers.... I calmly place the phone back on the receiver with my back to Keith and Emily as I do not want to show the fear in my eyes.... I turn around slowly and try to explain to both of them that we will not be watching TV tonight or playing games with people across the whole world. I am so sorry, it is not my fault. Yet, it does not matter, they both cry instantly, as do I. We sit in a huddled mass upon the cold living floor in front of the snowy TV screen scared for what future may hold ....
Okay, so that isn't exactly how it went down but close enough. I was so livid, I really was. Neither service came back on which left Keith and I wondering what the hell to do all night, together, alone... Ummmm.... get your mind out of the gutter people!! As soon as we put Em to bed we sat outside (the place where you do not have a TV or computer), on the stoop and talked. Holy crap!! Talk you say? About what? We talked about his military retirement in 5 years (not that I am counting or anything), our plans... his job, Emily... Whether or not we thought we were going to have another kid. (Before you get all, "Oh my God, are they going to have another kid"... Remember how long it took to have Em, if it happens it happens). STUFF, just stuff. The 9 came and Keith wanted to go to bed. This is why the pioneers went to bed so early... What the hell else was there to do?
I told Keith last night that I am making him a list of things I want. It is kind of a wish list but I do actually want these things at some point. Here is an example. I want seat cover for my Jeep because the fabric in on seats now suck up every little stain imaginable. They suck!! I want a Razor phone, I want Netflix, A TiVo, a new camera, .... and the list goes on. This is all very important stuff for a husband to know. I used to a list just for Emily but I have gotten almost everything I wanted her to have. (for now)... I have concentrated so much on things for her whether it be clothes, toys, stuff for outside.... that I have not gotten myself much of anything. Now there is a ton of shit that I want. So, if any really rich people are out there reading this and feel the need to buy me some stuff please let me know... Thanks in advance.
Anyway, The turkey will be getting up soon. Ta-ta for now...
PS... I just want to take a minute and thank the Cable God for giving us our services back!!
