A Likely Story!

The Waiting Is The Hardest Part

TGIF and Shabbat Shalom.

Happen to have internet access at this precise second, so let's see if I can type fast enough.

Waited for Adelphia to call between 1-5. At 4:30, called Customer Service, who said they came out to the house already and everything was fixed. When I asked why wasn't I called, they said 'we called your home # and no one answered'. A lie right off the bat, since I only have a cell and my sister Kelly and my buddy Howard were the only ones that called my cell all day.

So I came home, internet still not fixed. Called Adelphia AGAIN. Said they'd get a technician out within 2 hours. Then a call saying either Sat pm, Sun pm or Weds am.

Sunfest is this weekend (yay!) so guess I'll wait for Weds.

This is getting old.  Modem is crashing about 10-20 times an hour and I know I'm very low tech, but something is obviously just not right.

I'll check in when I can but between Sunfest and cranky intenet, doubt I'll be blogging much this weekend.

Spring Has Not Quite Sprung in CO

Tulips in a Denver Snowstorm!   

Thanks, Tom!

Does This Mean What I Think It Means??

Figure out the difference between 'want' and 'need.' Save your money for what really counts.

My horoscope for today...does this mean I should skip the 'Tiger Night' at the Apple store tomorrow night?

Still Without Internet :-(

Maybe tomorrow Adelphia will show?

Thank goodness for free Wi-Fi at Panera.

I Love This (yawn) Game!

Internet is back up...for now...and I'm up too, watching Steve Nash do an absolutely Kick-Ass job.  When John Stockton retired from the Utah Jazz (a moment of silence) Steve Nash became my favorite NBA player.

I love basketball...grade school, high school, NCAA, NBA and anything that requires putting a basketball thru a hoop. It does slightly suck when your favorite player is usually on a team that is to the West of the East. Which means late nights.

Yeah, a minor technicality. I'll survive.

Who needs sleep when you get to watch the game that to me epitomizes the phrase 'poetry in motion'??

Internetless :-(

(blogging from work...ssshhh...our secret!!)

My internet access has been sporadic over the last three days.  Went home at lunch to take care of spam issues (ok, all together now...'Bloggers Hate Spam') and discovered once again that Adelphia was down.

Service dude arrives tomorrow afternoon...of course between the hours of 1p-6p.  Don't call us, we'll call you.

May do a Panera run after work so I can use their internet...am I addicted or what??

Don't answer that...cause I won't be able to read your answers anytime soon!

Petunias On the Porch

Life In Kathyland

Last night my buddy Abby and I co-hosted an Earth Day Party on behalf of FLORIDA PIRG.

The party was held at my house and since several of the guests had never been here before, I gave the ones that were interested a tour of my house.

As someone who used to be a horrendous packrat/clutterbug ('used to be' is the key phrase) it always cracks me up when people assume I've always been neat and tidy.  Not so much.

So here's a virtual tour for you.  Please don't assume that it's easy for me to keep things this way. I struggle at keeping things organized and clutter-free every day. Sometimes I'm too tired/lazy/bored to stick to my habits. Guess it's the fear of backsliding into 'the way I used to be' that drives me to be vigilant in sticking to my routine.

Enough chatter...a picture is worth a thousand words anyway!

Gotta have my baseball caps :-)
