Dear Fellow Mothers and Sisters, Wanna join me on a quest? I don’t know about you, but being at home with kids this year hit me hard and at the end of the day there was no time left for me. Early this year, I read the book, French Women Don’t Get Fat, written by Mireille Continue Reading
As you may know, I have been actively looking for miracles in my life, big and small. The first night, after a long day of looking and finding nothing, I was watching the movie “Scrooge” with my family, when I found it, hidden inside a few key songs. Quick side note: I am a musical Continue Reading
I ask the same question repeatedly, because I can’t seem to remember whether I’ve asked it out loud or just in my head. Each time I do this, my family looks at me like I’m in the very early stages of dementia, and that voice inside me that’s usually only a whisper screams “you suck so bad!”
Maybe you don’t know this, but I live out in the boonies of Oregon. Well, for me it’s really only a 20 minute drive to a big grocery store, but for anyone who wants to visit me from town, I might as well live half a state away…perspective is an interesting thing, yeah?
Anyway, we have such slow internet through our phone company, it’s almost as though we are stuck in the internet caveman era. So yesterday I decided, enough is enough, and signed up for a tv/internet combo package through a certain satellite company, whose name shall not be mentioned. They quoted me $160 a month for the package deal, with a two year commitment. I tentatively agreed,and they are to come install tomorrow.
Well, then I thought about back to two years ago, when I decided to cancel tv all together, and how they kept offering me a lower monthly price, as much as 70 percent less a month from what I had been paying, before they believed that I really just didn’t want tv, and left me alone.
Since the guy told me I could talk it over with my husband, and cancel with no penalties before installation, I called them back and told them that I had thought about it, and it was simply too much. I could not go with their service. The representative put me on “hold” to speak with his “manager”. This is how I imagine the conversation went.
