A New Level of Insanity…
In my more calm, insane moments, I imagine myself prancing down the stairs of the new house, dancing to “Come Fly With Me” by Sinatra or Michael Buble. Very much like Mel Gibson in “What Women Want.” Only far less graceful and without a hat. Scenes from our future life in the new house play in my imaginings like cheesy cruise line commercials, but with better music.
I may have finally lost it. This might very well be the last coherent post published on this blog and it isn’t exactly “all there” either.
Back in reality, our dishnetwork satellite link or connection has been blinking out up to 90 times in one hour (and I’m not exaggerating, it’s in my error record, honest!) - typically it goes out a crucial point in a show or movie. I’ve been reduced to wearing out my Seasons 1 & 2 of Seinfeld. I now know why cable companies make commercials that show people kicking the holy crap out of their stupid dishes. I’m 99.9% there myself.
It seems that somehow the house has realized that we are truly on our way out and is now puking up every little nasty thing it has as if to say, “Who the hell wants you here anyway? Go on… Get OUT!”
I’m sorry to continue obsessing over every little detail of the construction and move. It seems to be taking up every aspect of my life anyway.
Blaaaagh!
I may have no other choice than to take up basket weaving.

Never had a satellite dish - and that’s why. And you gotta get the later seasons, the first two seasons? Meh. But before you know it it will be all over and you’ll be dancing up and down those stairs - just don’t drop your hairdryer in the tub during a huge storm, kay?

MrsFortune I love the DVR aspect of the satellite thing and it was great for about a year… now I absolutely HATE it.
I’m a Seinfeld addict but for some reason my husband didn’t get me the other seasons for Christmas… I think it’s because he bought me the first two seasons of Mad About You instead.

So, did your sister ever fess up? If not, it’s high time she did! Glad everything is good with the house (and thanks for the link!)

Happy Mothers day! Even though moving sucks, I still say, you couldn’t ask for a better mothers day gift!

That’s so weird: I did the same thing to MY little sister, writing her name (in her hand-writing and everything) on the wall. Damn, I didn’t even know what ‘framing’ was. Yes, I was evil.
Good luck moving - I don’t envy you at all!
