You know how I wrote about not having the internet at our new house? And if you look back you'll see that I haven't written an entry since then. That's because we still don't have the internet! A whole month with no internet connection. And I'm still alive. Barely.
At first, I was a little inconvenienced. Two weeks in with no internet, I was more than irritated. Now, one month disconnected from facebook and blogging life later, and I'm about to go crazy. The good news is that we can have high speed internet even though we live out in the boondocks. The bad news (or the slow part) is that the cable company had to come dig to put the cable underground, and because the Charter company is so backed up with orders, we had to wait until they had time to come dig. And they finally did come... yesterday.
So now we have to wait a few more days until the technician can come back and do the box and inside cable part. Grrr.... I feel like I'm living in another country! You don't realize how much we depend on Google and AOL.com until we have no access to them.
On another note, I've been watching the first season of a previous HBO show- HEROES. If you're looking for something to keep your attention episode after episode, then you should watch the season one of HEROES disc set. Basically, to sum it up but not give it away, the show follows each person as they test and learn about their unique abilities as superheroes. The best part is the show uses everyday people with everyday lives to impose the powers. Can you imagine waking up tomorrow with the ability to read your spouse's thoughts? Or finding out that you have the ability to fly? Just about any power you can think of is covered in the show. You should definitely check it out! The best part: No Aliens.

Have you ever watched a show marathon or bought the disc set and watched episode after episode in one day? If you have, after about four episodes did you start to "feel" like you were part of the show because the cast had been in your head for so long? After I watch the same show one after another and then I turn it off, it seems to stay in my head for hours. Well, after you watch a show about superheroes with extraordinary powers for hours, life suddenly seems boring when you turn the show off. I half expect Scott to fly through the door when he comes in from work. If I could pick one super power to have, I guess I would choose to either be invisible or to hear people's thoughts. That would be so weird!
Due to our recent lack of cable television and no internet, I've had to resort to watching movies from our DVD collection, which is quite large might I add. Quite large until you spend a month watching them over and over. Now I've resorted to watching the bonus features and watching the movies with the director commentaries on. If you've ever watched a commentary with the movie director, you'll realize that's where you learn all of the tips and tricks of how the movie was made: special effects, stunt doubles, what/where each scene was shot, bloopers, etc. I now can watch "The Pacifier" and point out which scenes use Vin Diesel and which scenes use his stunt double. Once it's pointed out, it seems so obvious and I wonder why I didn't notice it in the first place.
The commentary can be a BIG spoiler for any movie so you probably don't want to watch one for your favorite movies, because it doesn't seem quite so cool to know that the actor was sitting in a fake car in front of a green screen, not driving 104 MPH down a windy road in the middle of the night. On the other hand, I feel pretty smart when I can pause a movie a million times and point out all of the bloopers to Scott when we watch movies together. I'm sure he loves that. Ha.
Well I think that's enough for today. No big news to report, nothing new. Just taking it one day at a time, really. Still trying to adjust to living at a new place where I only know 3 people. I'm sure I'll meet new friends after we find a new church and get more settled. For the time being, unless I meet my new friends at CVS Pharmacy, Wal-Mart, or the local Mexican restaurant, my "New Friend Folder" will remain empty. :(
I'm still trying to raise money for my Multiple Sclerosis Fundraiser and trip to the Race to Erase MS Gala in May. I've got to donate at least $1000 to attend the gala, but the best part is that the money will all go toward research to find a cure for MS. Trust me, that is a really important cure that a LOT of people, myself included, are praying for. All of my jewelry sales are going to this effort, so please visit my facebook store page to check out my new jewelry today. The link to my shop is:

Hope to hear from you soon. I have some beautiful pieces listed now. If you're looking for anything in particular, I can make it to suit whatever your tastes are. Just please be patient with me while I'm waiting on us to get the internet at our house. I have to use the internet at my mother-in-laws house right now, so I may take a few days to respond back to my messages and comments. I'm sorry for the inconvenience, and thank you for your patience. I just don't want anyone to think I'm ignoring them! Talk to you soon!
Love Always,
Chelsea
