I finally got regular internet :)


What I don't love is that when no one knows if your house really exists than you have trouble getting basic services.  I have no mail service (no one in Mesilla does) so the whole town just gets together and hangs out at the Post Office.  Of course when I need to get non- PO Box packages Holy Hell is it to explain to UPS and Fed Ex that yes I really do live in a place that exists and yes I do need my package.



 Anyhow in addition to mail and utility nightmares I've been dealing with TV issues.  My home was an abandoned foreclosure and we are the first people to live in the home for 4 yrs.  So there were no cable outlets at first and than there were no phone outlets so getting internet has been near impossible.  Finally Century Link correctly fixed the lines and I get I high speed internet (I had been using a limited mobile hot spot). 



So that means much more blogging very cute pictures of my very cute babies.  The funny thing is that it has probably really good for me not to have internet... I've been painting the house, teaching my Harmon how to read, landscaping, and all sorts of things with little connection to the outside world.  Being unplugged maybe isn't always a bad thing.

  1. Yay for being able to connect with the rest of the world! So I am confused. Are you in AZ or NM? Either way, I am glad that you are getting settled, and I agree, sometimes no internet is a good thing. It seems a lot more gets done that way.
