Where Did The Budget Go?

So much to do! I am trying to do a little bit each day just so that I can cross something off the list. Today I called to transfer my internet. It seemed like an easy task. The rep. asked me what kind of modem I have. Of course my modem is really old. The lines at the new house are newer than they are out here so my modem won't work. He offered to send me one for $99 plus $14 shipping but I found one on ebay while he was talking for $60 with $10 shipping. I don't know if it will get here by Friday so I might have to spend the weekend without internet. Oh the horror!

As a consolation I ordered myself a Roku box. I have read about them on other blogs and since I will have a real house with a real living room and maybe other people will want to watch TV and movies too, I thought it was time. If my parents keep their Netflix subscription then they can watch movies on my TV. If not, I think I will get a my own Netflix subscription. I know this is some major lifestyle inflation going on here! I need to pace myself.

I hope so Marie. I finally will have a living room and couch again so I thought I should go for it. I do all my watching on my little netbook now. Tiny 6x9 screen.

I know Lizzie, it is shocking isn't it? The country mouse is moving to the big city!
