You're single and you don't watch TV?!?
Again, sorry so long.
Days in JC: 3
References to my (lack of) marital status: 4
I am finally online in my new house! It took a while and some dough, but I now have access to important information like who won American Idol. That country gal totally won because she was prettier than that hairy dude.
Anywho, my days have been spent unpacking while listening to country music, gardening and defending my single-ness. While hanging laundry on my clothesline yesterday, my neighbor asked if my husband was in the military. Since I moved in there have been six different men (ranging from my dad to Donovan) at my house, none with any sort of regularity, and certainly none have been here long enough for them to marry me then join the Army.
A guy had to come to my house today to fix my cable connection so I could get Internet. This is after a complicated process where I bought nearly $200 of cable and Internet and then decided to cancel all the cable. I didn't have it for the last year in Lawrence, and felt better about myself. The four Cox Communications employees I have spoke with since canceling are shocked that I don't watch TV. Just Internet? Are you sure? This brings me back to cable guy. He's old enough to be the dad of someone enrolled in the police academy (he told me), old enough to build a 1929 stock car from the ground up (he told me) and old enough to have never worked on a Mac (he told me). He was "not trying to hit on" me, and asked if I knew my way around JC and why I'm living by myself. He told me about a race car driver his buddy just had breakfast with. That's the thing about JC, you pay for the service, but get conversation and SO ... MUCH ... MORE. Since sarcasm doesn't translate well on posts, please note that I am being sarcastic. Koreans DO like happy endings.
Other than the unbearable horror of me being unmarried and living alone, things are great. The house is sweet, the neighbors are friendly although there is a malt beverage bottle next to my newly-planted snapdragons (!). Never fear for this single gal though: I'm handy and I have a Waters TrueValue Hardware Preferred Customer Card.
