Who's going to Hawaii?

I'm going to Hawaii and Morgan is going to Hawaii. Yup! You heard right. We're leaving February 26 and coming back March 4th.

I am SO excited!

Halloween - very very late



We had a lot of fun carving pumpkins for Halloween this year! Do you like our pumpkin sown man? He has a real carrot nose. Unfortunately, this is the view our neighbors had:

They loved it!

TiVo

So TiVo is offering the lifetime subscription if you buy a new HD TiVo. I'm really annoyed because I asked if they would be offering it again and they said no. So I paid to have my lifetime subscription transferred when for an extra $200 I could have had 2 lifetime subscriptions. It's true that I got 1 free year on my old TiVo and if I decide to keep it it'll only cost $7 per month since it's my second TiVo and that means it would take about 28 months plus my 1 free year is 40 months before I would have saved any money. But still...

Me

I left work at 3:00 on Thursday because I wasn't feeling well. I ran to the grocery store to by some medicine and I picked up some soup from the Chinese restaurant next to the grocery store and got home around 4:00 pm on Thursday. It's now 9:00 pm on Saturday and I haven't left the house since. The closest I got was walking onto the front porch to get the mail.

I intended to leave the house today. I was going to pick up another wireless TiVo adapter. But I forgot the cable guy was coming so when he knocked on the door at 10:00 am I was still in my pj's and was 5 minutes from getting in the shower. Good thing I wasn't in the shower when he got here. He left around 11:00 am with plans to come back between 1 and 3 to see if he could fix the problem. That would give TiVo some time to repeat the guided set up. After he left I put in a load of laundry and got in the shower. Then I got dressed and made lunch. Then I tried to get TiVo to work. Eventually it did start to work, but only after Nate (the cable guy) called back to see if it was working and I said no. So he came back with his supervisor and they set up a 2nd card. I digress, this isn't really what the story is about.

After TiVo started working I got distracted. I was talking to Karen. Then it got dark so I decided not to go out at all.

Friday I laid in bed or on the couch all day because I wasn't feeling well. Today I still don't feel well, but I feel better than I did yesterday. I really need to get out of the house tomorrow.

This day flew by. I can't believe it's after 9:00 pm. Morgan is out of town for the weekend. She'll be back tomorrow night. I wonder if my being alone all day Friday and a lot of the day Saturday had something to do with me staying in the house all day.

Sometimes I think that I never learned how to be alone. One of the down sides of being a twin. I never spent much of my childhood alone. Everyone else I know has memories of time spent alone. They even enjoy spending time alone. Not me. I'd much prefer to be with someone than be alone. But not anyone and not many people. Usually 1 or 2 specific people. I am more introverted than extroverted. I am an ISFJ after all.

TiVo up and running

I finally got the cable company out here to "install" the cable cards so my new TiVo works! In fact I'm watching it right now. It can record 2 shows at once! I'm glad it finally works! I also have a brand new cable connection upstairs in my bedroom and tonight I'll move my series 2 TiVo up there. 2 working TiVo's, the ability to record 3 shows at once. Could life be better?
