I think I need to ask this when theo is on, because she is always seems to know what to do with of house issues, but...

I have clearwire internet, which is like a receiver which goes in my window and picks the internet out of the air. I have this because I could order online, not talk to anyone, and not have a phone line or cable, and I don't want to change.

I have new windows, and now, when they are closed, I can't get internet. So I have to open my window. But it is cold, and all my head is going out the window, even with the drapes closed and a pillow stuffed in the opening. Any ideas? Should I try taping plastic over the whole thing? Cardboard? I can't deal with no internet, and most nights I fall asleep with hulu on, so the window ends up being open all night.

I wonder if any of the same people saw both movies.

Haven't seen both yet, but I will see The Blind Side eventually. I am a sucker for sports movies, especially based-on-a-true-story ones.

There are insulation kits you can get to put around air conditioners so you can leave them in the window year-round. I can feel a little draft around mine (but its welcome because its right next to the radiator which gets really damn hot).

Maybe adapt something like that?

Oh, good idea Trudy!

I hate to admit after complaining and complaining about how much I had to work at the theatre, now that I have free time, I am pretty darn bored. I should really do some online X-mas shopping.

I'm doing some online Christmas shopping. And counting the minutes until the kids' bedtime.

ita, I hope you were able to fend off the migraine.

I need to get the kids' babysitter something special. She's been indispensable during my recovery.

oh shit babysitters! and I need to get in gear and make the things for the teachers THIS weekend.

Are those phone camera commercials supposed to do anything besides convince me that Ashton Kutcher would have been killed long ago if Demi Moore weren't scary?

I got Owen's teachers gift cards for Applebees. Lame, probably, but I just didn't have it in me to do more than that. I'm getting movie gift cards for the girls that work in the daycare center at the gym.

Not sure what to do for the bus drivers. (Not normally a thing but with Owen's issues, he gets extra attention and I like to thank the people who take good care of him.)

I have a working computer again! Wheeeeeee!

I think the only people who will be getting dead-tree cards from me this holiday will be my friends from work. I haven't seen them since I left New Jersey. Almost a year ago! Wow. No, wait, I saw some of them in Atlanta in April for the yearly meeting. (But we didn't even get drunk, much less talk about sex.) I want to keep in touch, and it takes an effort, because I'm really bad at that.
