Tonight

[lisamoe]

I now have a high speed connection at home, thanks to oldmanpops. At least I have a connection when it's connecting, which is fortunately most of the time. It's pretty cool. On my email and lj I don't really notice a huge difference from dial-up, but on Neopets and when I was surfing travel sites for our spring vacation earlier it was very noticable.

This evening we've done essentially nothing. I ran a couple of loads of dishes and a couple of loads of laundry and other than that the kids have been showing me selected Avatar episodes and explaining the plot while I look up hotels in San Antonio, which is where I think we've decided to go. It has a SeaWorld and a Six Flags and plane flights aren't overly expensive. I offered the kids Mazzio's for dinner, but they wanted me to make them spaghetti instead, which is cool, as Mazzio's would run me $20 and spaghetti costs about $2.

Ok, off to the bath and some cinnamon scented bubbles. The kids are watching one of the same Avatar episodes again and really, the first time was enough for me. After I get out of the bath, I'm sending them to bed so I can watch an episode of Foyle's War.

What's wrong with your connection?

It's just at the limit of how far the wireless connection will reach. The hub is next door, but it's working great 95% of the time.

I have satellite here at the house. It is beyond awesome.
I had dial-up before that, and where we live, the phone lines were so old that all the speed I could when I dialed up was like 26.6. I was lucky to every have 28.8. It was like molasses.

Trip wants to go to San Antonio. I think it would be a great vacation. I've been twice before. I know it would be totally different w/kids in tow.

I'm pretty sure we're going in April. R is transferring money into an account for me to make the reservations tomorrow if I'm ready. I'm still trying to decide between two hotels on two dates though.
